Live from the PRI Show

One thing we heard at PRI that was a continuing theme, and a source of great concern, was the number of companies being rapidly consumed by these growing "private equity" groups, and the complete disregard for the automotive industry in general, and motorsports in particular, among said "private equity'' groups.

These "private equity" groups run through the automotive aftermarket like a Borg cube, absorbing and consuming anything and everything in their path, leaving a trail of destruction behind them that would make tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes blush.

Folks, if you think that NHRA has little regard for you as sportsman racers, these "private equity" groups have absolutely zero use or regard for ANY of us, racers, track owners, promoters, or even their own employees. Consider those people to be mortal enemies of class racers.
