I asked them how much each car was valued at, this was a few years ago, between 150 to 200k each. So when you look at how much NHRA is going to pay as a purse, let's hope they don't talk to the road racers.

This has happened to Pueblo Motorsport Park in Colorado. City owned facility has a contract with a road racer lady to run the place. She's in her 3rd year. Nearly ran everyone off the first year with her antics toward drag racers, a lot of the fast guys haven't come back. Apparently she didn't even want to take advice from the Bandimere's. The contract says she has to do 4 drag races a year so any time after the 4th race she might pull the plug. She has been heard to refer to drag racers as " bottom feeders" but loves her road racers.
