New Record in Drag Racing History

Bret,

I agree with 100% what you said. I am one of your biggest fans. However, repackaging and reselling is a good thing. I dont even like or watch pinks! It doesnt even make sense to me. Yeah they were wrong, but it worked! It proves old things and old decisions are sometimes more successful revisited.

There is nothing cheaper than sugar, flour, and corn, it takes molding them into straws with chocolate to get $8 per pound (of which I refuse to buy the twins).

In my business a chemical company had a new technology called Transport plus which was nothing but a marketing program for what we introduced in the 1960's that was an all synthetic polymer approach instead of using natural occurring substances. However, they sold millions because they actually marketed it and went actively trying to sell it.

Current sanctioning body's refusal to market us is the most embarrassing thing I have seen. I was at Indy and there was no one in the stands except for pit crew and family members. Embarrassing in my book (except going across the scales 10lbs light). I tried to promote Indy as the Door Slammer Nationals, but got no where.

This is why Terry's deal is so important, Alex got 20,000 or so fans without even trying. Nothing will sell if you dont try and sell it. Industry is 20 years behind technology. I know Sers and SSers on TV would be a big hit with the proper promotion. They are way closer to NASCAR something for people to relate.

No one will buy it if it is never promoted or sold. It is why I was trying to do a promotional film at ST Louis a few years ago with an exciting announcer approach. If no one else is going to do it, we need to do it ourselves. Just talking out loud trying to seed a vision of something that needs to happen. We need to put our constructive minds together and promote what we love! I asked Annette that, and she just asks me for the credit card.
