Re: Unmitigated Greed
I agree - boycotts don't work especially in drag racing. There will always be some SOB that will show up in hopes of an easy win.
However in saying that - if there was a boycott it should be at a National event at a NHRA "owned" track. Otherwise if the track is independently owned they will end up hurt. No doubt NHRA would have a one-sided contract that would insure they get paid first. Chuck |

Re: Unmitigated Greed
Dan,
Impressive post! Not many racers have the potential to earn as much money as you do at a National event. I may be out of the sport by Indy. But, I will not enter Indy if the racers decide to boycott the race; providing I still have a race car. The really bad thing about this organization is that it is totally tone deaf. They are paying the pros an additional million dollars this year and raising our fees. They just don't get it.
