How do I get a balance sheet - receivables - customers - assets - licenses and a few other things to begin try to determine interest and set a net worth.

It is a whole lot more than a website - IMHO.

Perfect investment for me - being a businessman and computer geek - oh and most of all a drag racer.

I thought Summit Racing owned and hosted it?

I went over there to look and clicked on the "Click to inquire" header like a dummy. Locked up my machine. Just sayin'.

The link should have opened your default email program. That's what it does on my computer.

Hope someone keeps it going. It is a great tool for the sportsmen racers

Clicking the link does direct you to sending an email to Summit. With their decreased funding a few years ago, the loss of Larry Sullivan (RIP) along with all of the live video feeds it has undoubtedly put a dent in the visits to DRC. It is still the easiest way to look at round by round action and I’d really hate to see it’s coverage decrease even further. Live timing (when it’s even available) is cumbersome so I only look at it when I want to see incrementals. Still prefer DRC 90% of the time. Hope it keeps going!

If anyone is listening, I use it often and appreciate it being there. I would miss it.

Don't have the NHRA deal, and the time I have available to watch D1TV or DragRacerTV is limited. But I do like to know what is going on at the Divisional and National events.

Good luck with that. Unless something has changed in the last few years, Summit is very secretive about that part of their website and does not release any information.


Ed Dykes personally told me that he'd asked for the info, and from his standpoint he wanted it as a sort of report card - which parts of it were most interesting to people and which parts didn't seem to be worth the effort Fast News put into them. He was, and continued to be, turned down for any sort of look at the web stats.


Maybe things have changed since the management changed due to the death of Ed, and later, Larry. But Rick Green has never even hinted to me that it has.


I was shocked to see that banner. I'm hoping that it's simply Summit wanting to have people hitting their main page instead of bypassing it and going directly to the Fast News section.

Any real businessman who is interested in buying this site would know that he/she would have to provide financials to the sellers before any exchange of financial information is given by them. The sellers have zero interest in being plagued by dreamers, tire kickers and wannabes. And, in addition, the potential buyers better have deep roots in the high performance marketing industry.

Maybe Micro Strategies or...................ClassRacer.com?
I'm sorry Kenny, but I thought about it all weekend it seems like a natural opportunity for this forum.

I was told by a friend that it costs 250k a year to operate......at a loss.

Why so costly?
Asking for a friend...

My guess is the travel costs to send someone to each event and keep the updates "live" The reason some events have less info and they "don't know actual lanes" is they are batch loads at the end of the night. All the comments written under each pass are done by someone sitting there watching... I think a change in business strategy could lessen these costs so if it's something other than this.. I'm in the same boat as you... why so expensive?

Here are some of the metrics for the website:

https://www.similarweb.com/website/dragracecentral.com




This site indicates traffic was significantly reduced in 2018 & 2019.

I used to go to that website. I wonder how much it's going to cost.
