Once again Pro Stock has more entries than Top Fuel and Funny Car. Everybody seems to be focused on the low car counts in Pro Stock, but fuel cars are hurting also. Just not enough incentive for any independents to race outside there region. In Chicagoland we have three funny cars and two top fuel teams that only race at 2-5 events a year. Zizzo shows up and qualifies in the top half of the field and only races three times per year.

Nhra needs to give the Pro classes an increase in purse and more teams will show up more often. I raced two National events this year and can tell you us Sportsman racers pay a big chunk of the events. Heck I had to pay $100 just for insurance at each race to nhra.
