Re: NHRA Sold
Well I was all for Bruton buying it but I dont know about this. We will see. In my opinion they cant do worse advertising and marketing wise.

Re: What??????????????
interesting, I don't want to post that link elsewhere until NHRA officially announces it, which is not done on their site at least for now.
But it is very interesting.

Re: What??????????????
Now you have to really wonder why they would not sell to Bruton Smith, who would probably have done wonders for the sport.

Re: What??????????????
Any guesses how this will impact the sportsman side of NHRA Drag Racing since it sounds like the purchase includes only the Pro parts of NHRA

Re: NHRA Sold
One thing for sure, it's a cash out. Also, that is the only way that these guys would have sold it, was to be brought over to the new board, something that they probably could not work with a Bruton Smith buyout. Not sure if that is such a bad thing, can you imagine a buyout with even less adequate at the helm.
With that said, it should only lead to growth for the sport. I cannot see a company buying the Sanctioning body without the intent to grow it. |

Re: NHRA Sold
If I'm an NHRA member do I get a cut of the $100 mil in cash that's part of the transaction? Seriously, this is one confusing deal. NHRA will remain a non-profit . If it doesn't lead to bigger purses and thus more cars, what's the point.
