Las Vegas Nationals

[DG]

My kids tell me it was an Electric Dance Concert (EDC) which attracts over 400,000 attendees and generates more than $152 million in revenue. They not only filled the spectator parking but the entire drag strip, pits and nascar track. Definitely not my thing, but kind of a big deal.

The EDC Drug and Sex Convention makes LVMS twice as much as
Both National Eventots and all three Divisional combined!

They could care less about the Bracket Series/Test and Tunes and
have cut them down by about 2/3.

It is not the Managements fault = the Multiple Track Owner just is not interested in
the Grass Roots stuff at all. LVMS is an expensive property AND
expensive to run as well. The local stuff is just not a Profit Center of
any significance. All the tracks under this ownership may like Sears
Point have a extremely limited Drag Racing Program if anything except
big races and occasional OursideTrack Rental Events

I do not think we will recognize what Drag Racing has become by the end
of the Decade = Particularly out here on the Western Division of NHRA.
Of Course, I hope that I am completely wrong for my Kids sake.

I attended a Buick race there about 15- 20 years ago and the track was shared with a Japanese car crowd-we ran time trials between 8 and 11 am then "they" had the track for most of the day-we ran our first round at 11 pm! sucked big time - I was never so happy to lose first round so I could get some sleep!

Like everything lately. I can only guess the folks that set up and teardown the carnival event are short handed. I haven't gone out yet since I'm an open trailer racer. If it doesn't get better today I might just donate my money and stay at home.

Did Bruton Smith build this great place to race just to be taken over by some crazy carnival. I have received numerous E-Mails on covid restriction for this race but yet a carnival with none take over the place. If they don't clean up the place. They will lose NHRA fan money for years.

John - it is OK if it is for you and not your kids ...
