Default Drag racers inside please.

So I know most of the guys on here are street/strip cars, some might not be totally legal for the ET which they run. However I want to get some opinions from everyone.
So I have been trying to help promote the Byron Dragway Midwest Index series. My shop also sponsors it, we have given away money and fuel to racers in 2014, and will do more in 2015. We are looking to get more racers, maybe new racers who have never index raced before. Here are a few questions, hopefully you guys can take some time and answer them for me.
Thanks guys!

What do you think the rules should be for a local once a month series.
Entry fee's?
Payouts?
If you have never index raced before, why not?
If you have, what can you tell those people who have never done it yet?
Here is the current Byron Dragway format..

This is heads up racing, but with a cap.
A lot of grudge racers will turn their **** down and come out just to make laps and practice cutting lights.
It's just a fun little series, just another way to get some good competition and try to win a couple dollars.


Brian that link must change like once a day, because I've fixed it twice now.

Man that's weird. Well if you go on Byron's site, the flier at the top of the page is for the Midwest Index series.
8.60-9.50-10.20-10.80 And 11 seconds and slower is an Open Comp style class.
