What’s going on with Top Sportsman? (3 Viewers)

[Quesadilla]

Looking at entry lists for the upcoming events and the car counts in Top Sportsman are WAY down with only 12 cars entered at the US Nationals, 3 cars entered at Reading, 7 for Charlotte and 2 a piece for St Louis and Dallas. While there’s still plenty of times for those entries to fill in entries in Top Dragster are still healthy at around 30 for those races, so what’s going on? Has the class priced it out? Is there some sort of boycott? Just curious

IHRA payout? What does NHRA pay for TS?

TS is not the only short list. Indy is in two weeks and the Hemi Challenge only has three cars entered and Comp, even with the DeeCell specialty race only has nine. That's a huge bummer. ProMod only has 16 cars, TAD only has 14, TAFC is dreadful with 10.

These numbers will all increase the closer you get to the event. Don't forget, when you enter, that is when they charge your card. Could just be cash management to save that charge until closer to the event.
