Indy LODRS announcement

[sc583]

I'm guessing someone in Glendora placed a call to said new DD and said, "you know it sure would be nice to deposit $65k-$75k in the bank on Monday". When every meteorologist within a 200 mile radius is not talking about "if" it will rain, but rather "how much", it's probably a good idea to make alternate arrangements, especially when the facility is Indy. JMO.

I wonder what would happen if next to no one showed up.

You have correctly identified the problem, racers are racers & will show up no matter what ...

You guys think NHRA give a crap about $60000. After payouts that's about $30,000 take home. Peanuts in the whole picture

For an organization bleeding money and that still has fixed costs...Yes! $60k in float for 2-4 months is a big deal. I oversee a $2B company and if you told me I could get $60k interest free I'd take it in a heartbeat. The opposite question would be if you think something like this wouldn't factor into NHRA's decision you've got your head in the sand.

I agree ! Get them there -- Get their $$ and worry about it later is the attitude of NHRA !
