Re: Can NHRA survive without John Force ?
I am not sure if anyone did more of the math from the past weekend race at Indy. Not just the Force team should be the big worry. I dont think they had enough fans to even cover the staff for the merchandising trailer or the food stands. Not to mention that DSR had 25% of the nitro cars (4 top fuel and 4 funny car) and 2 of those Fuelers are just on 2 race deals. What happens when Connie Kalitta finally retires he has 3 cars. How about when Chandler stops paying for Beckman and Johnson Jr. Yes the drop in purse is sad but not the biggest problem they are going to have. Did any of the staff at head office take a pay cut? as they are shortend race weekends.
As far as the world of big bucks bracket racing it seems very alive and well with a ton of cars and some fierce competition. It will be very interesting to see how the rest of this season goes. Grab some popcorn this is going to be good.
