KEVIN COUR : GREAT POST on pg.2, everyone should read it... twice !!! Time WILL tell. I just can't find it in my heart to believe that there's a group of men, many that love Drag Racing as much as we do, sitting in a boardroom in Glendora, planing the demise of Sportsman Racing as we know it....(which is what many of you make it sound like)... I can hear it now; Graham Light, saying to Tom Compton, "Let's figure out a way to screw the Sportsman Racers!".... I DON'T THINK SO...... The conversation probably is going more like this.....What do we have to do to keep from going into receivership during this tough economic time, starting at the top, working our way down to the bottom, or we'll all be looking for new jobs... My friends... thoughs "business" decisions are tough ones to make and often unfavorable. Are they the correct decisions? Time is the only thing that will tell. I love Drag Racing. I have a choice, and my choice is to support NHRA Drag Racing (and IHRA) within the limits of my own personal budget. Even if it means racing less. I'm only in a position to second quess, so I hope the "suits" are making the correct choices also, and NHRA Sportsmen Drag Racing survives these tough times.
