Absolute fact.




And this is one of the two biggest problems, purse wise. Both are directly related to poor performance on the part of NHRA.


You know, people love to point out that independent promoters, such as Butner, Biondo, Bohannon, Connelly, etc., seem to be able to put on big money races, but no one shows, because there's no little gold man.


If those independent promoters can create big money races, why can't NHRA go get that same money, and put it on the line when there is little gold man up for grabs? The money is OBVIOUSLY out there.
