Len Imbrogno.....Seriously now

Mr Vierheller,
I don't really want to keep this conversation going much longer, but I have a question knawing at me.
These are your statements from another post.

1. Be sent to another track 120 miles away to run while the real show stays and entertains the customers? Furthermore, how many of those customers left the original facility to drive down to see those sposrtsman cars?
2. Pit in the least desirable location for exposure at every facility?
3. Consistently have qualifying and class eliminations either cancelled or modified to make way for the real show?
4. Not get a single second of TV time?
5. Not get a single mention of your class in any advertisement for that event?
I'm sure there are countless other instances that prove otherwise and show our true order in the food chain.
Get real...a guy who is dead last on the qualifying sheet in Pro Stock at every race has more exposure than if any one of us won every event we entered on the sportsman level.

May I paraphrase and sum this up that it is your opinion that you think the nhra treats sportsman racers like crap ?
And if you believe what you posted earlier, I am wondering then, why you are so vehement in your praise for the nhra, and why you are so aggressively trying to dampen some of our efforts for change ? It seems these two opinions are at odds. Just wondering.

'nother question. Since the 100 MIl we all are talking about will be in cash. I assume MOST can be used as the powers see fit. I would think there would be investments, and even banking and interest.
Can anyone calculate what, say 80 Mil would bring in interest per year at the current rates ?
Would this be enough to help with the purses and a few niceties for us ?
