Now as for grudge racing, we owned a track, and we never had an issue with grudge racers and needing Armed Guards. I can also say we were the first to do a Grudge Fest and make these guys into hero's and yes we made 7x more money in a 5 hour event on a 43 degree Saturday in March than we did on a 2 day IHRA Pro Am.
Now you see why its hard for a track operator not to put on a thrill show, and combine shows to make it better.

You are so correct Herb. Its just a shame to see drag racing get to such a low position on the totem pole. I remember watching your dad at US 60 in Kentucky with his Hemi Dart back in 1968. Its was a S/S meet on a Friday night and the place was PACKED ! Bob Glidden was there with his 2 Mustang CJ's and this was before they all became stars from the Pro Stock days. What happened to real drag racing?
