Hi Ed......I didnt say I would want to it anymore. Thought about it awhile back and saw it wasnt for me at this stage of my life. Im not that crazy or stupid....well maybe stupid....LOL. Besides I dont have that kind of money to throw at an enterprise such as that. I DO believe it could be done IF someone had the finances and the thick skin to put up with all of the BS thrown at him or them. With the right finances, backing, and support from sponsors and racers the tracks wouldnt be such a problem. There are those out there who have that kind of money if they were interested in doing such a thing. As it stands NHRA and IHRA have the tracks by the "GONADS" because of INSURANCE, SPONSORS, past history, and most of the racers who are tunnel visioned. They (NHRA and IHRA) are a proven operation. It will be interesting to see how the new AHRA will handle the race track problem.
P.S. There are some very deep pockets out there and some have thought about it....We could only hope.
