"We sure don't do this for the money!"

I hate to hear guys say this. NHRA loves this attitude. Their response is "Great!. We won't pay you." It implies that the Sportsman have no value. True, most don't rely on race winnings to put food on the table. But people work hard, invest a lot of money and bring a great show to the track every weekend. And they deserve an opportunity to race for a purse that is appropriate. The Company has all these marketing experts on the payroll, they need to figure out how to market this asset.

I won't hold my breath.
