Don't know how that double post happened, took the duplicate off.
But just so you know Lee and Mr.V,
At the Rockingham National this year, a packed house. Probably 30-40 thousand in the stands, 3 deep on the fence. When they called Stock for second round I had a couple friends in line at the concession stand. They said the lines virtually emptied. As we were paired to run, at least 500 + very respectful spectators were in the back of staging watching all the goings on. At 10:30 a.m. as I pulled in to the water I looked into absolutley FULL stands. Top fuel runs were 2 1/2 hours away yet.
I have seen the same thing at Bristol, and at Houston. Other places not as much.
The thing is, there are many people that love sportsman, even at national events. And obviously I realize that we are not the main attraction at Nationals, but we have to get over this low grade mentality. How can anyone try to promote themselves and better themselves when the mindset is we are nothing ? At Sav. dragway untill it closed we drew 500 to 1000 spectators every Sat. night. To a simple bracket race.
The few like Ray And Lee on here with defeatest attitudes will never help our cause. And it takes only a few to bring down any chance we have for change. ( Jeff Teuton, you were right. )
Lee, you say you DON'T want more round money. Great, thats yor choice. But you are in the minority. I have received several e-mails and at least 3 phone calls in support. ( Why don't you guys POST ! )
Most of us DO want more $$. But the 2 of you that don't have highjacked this thread and can make it seem as though you are the majority with your many protest posts. Which you are not.
There will be PLENTY of money to go around now. The 100 mill can be stretched to infinity with investments. All can benefit...........but we have to ASK.
