NHRA sold!

There are alot of what if's here. Some believe we will now be enhanced out of our shorts, some seem to believe this could be good in the form of higher payouts etc. for the sportsman racers. Truth is no one really knows.

But food for thought :
The same west coast chiefs that run the whole NHRA now, will be the ones that would, for the most part be running the sportsman side of things after this takes place.
So we only have history to go on. Will the same guys that sat up nights figuring new rounds of enhancements suddenly develope a >>sportsman << conscience ?
The more $$$ the NHRA had in the past, the more arrogant they got. Is 100 mill the tipping point that makes them >>racer friendly << ?
Does 100 VERY LARGE buy a person/persons some humility ?
Do you guys really think the >trickle down< theory is in play here ?
Will the sportsmen ever see any of that 100 large ?
Has that been the past mindset of the guys that now, ( or soon will ) have 100 MILLION DOLLARS in their pockets?
Not really a good bet in my book. But hopefully I'm wrong.

P.S. with 100 big in their pockets, do yo think they could buy their own oil dry now ? At 250$ a bag of course. [:-laughing-:]
