Re: NHRA - Stick vs Auto
See, very creative names that would definitely put some spark into the events.
I was trying to explain to Karen the reason why a golfer wins a $1M payout, whereas a top fueler will win $100k. How much money does it take to pamper a golfer with equipment and perks for a year, compare that to the equipment/crew/travel etc... to pamper a top fueler. Here's your sign...

Re: NHRA - Stick vs Auto
Yea, that's one source of revenue, but there is far more tv revenue from a golf event vs. a drag racing event - that's why the golf is carried by the big 3 networks. So, I don't think the NHRA gets a lot of revenue from a tv contract. Maybe we should chase a little white ball down the 1320

Re: NHRA - Stick vs Auto
I don't think NHRA can compete with NASCAR. Not as many people go, and NO real promotional tools like the NFL or NASCAR. NASCAR commercials are on all the time. My wife knows who Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr. is. She knows who Grumpy is and John Force period. They kind of missed the boat somewhere in my opinion. Stock/SS=
 P.S. The chevy guys... Charlie Westcott and his dad killed the hemi guys with there 8.56 run in SS/AA Sunday at the Grove. He ran consistent 8.50's pretty much all day for the hemi challenge. It takes a chevy man to do that!! That is why he has a big bow tie emblem painted on the roof of his 68 hemi cuda.
