NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY

[GUMP]

The Pro pits bring in the spectators. No Pro show, NO INDY, NO NHRA.....

EXACTLY! You ain't special and the spectators ain't there to see you.

Exactly, check out the bleachers at most Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series events.. Known also a "points meet"

ok I "think" that the sportsman brings more money to NHRA. The membership fees, the entry fees, the advertising by manufacturers that cater to the sportsmen who buy the parts, etc., and I suspect just maybe now NHRA gets paid for TV rights, as well as if there were no sportsmen in the pits. They would look like nothing is happening for the"event" or 'Show." The fans would walk around and say where are all the race cars? Could you get my point now? I just bet if we ask the NHRA accountants about the sportsman impact that they bring approximately 3 million per year, they would be happy to receive the income

Never suggested there should be no "Pro" cars, but do they have to be right next to the staging lanes, considering that they are all towed up to the staging lanes, and towed back to the pits? Does it really matter where the Pros park? The hero card and autograph collecting spectators will go to wherever the pros park.
