Then you throw in the crowd it attracts and you need to have armed gaurds. SO i would not even bring up a comparison to grudge racing at all.

You obviously missed my point........MY POINT WAS "GET IT WHERE YOU FIT IN" meaning you better figure out other places to race besides NH and IHra......

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.
