Unmitigated Greed

Craig Couris · 04-12-2009, 10:54 AM

Has anyone else noticed all of the no name, unsponsored "filler cars" this year in the Nitro Classes? Has anyone ever wondered why the HDP deal fell apart? They really have nothing to sell. They can barely get enough cars to fill the eliminators and my guess is that they are now paying half of the teams just to show up to put on a race. Since NHRA now has to pay to put on their own show, they're dumping these additional costs on the backs of the sportsman racers. This is the only viable explanation I can come up with to justify increases at this time.

Somebody please tell me I'm wrong about this.
