Like Greg, I'm not a Schumacher fan, namely for his "business before fun" tactic. But the smart money goes to him because he did what any deep pocket businessman would do during a speculative upturn in a market...he hedged...and won twice. Don is a risk taker, typical of any smart business person. He saw the problem before VP, and NHRA was caught in a catch 22 and made a "panic" move. Don simply reminded VP and NHRA they can't have their cake and eat it too.
