Is Knoll done?
- Thread starter johnny
- Start date
I wonder if any of these "handshake contracts" are in writing? Look @ it this way,if Evan was the only one who knew what the deal was,how could anybody else take over in his absence? I don't know what the real story is and don't have a real opinion either way.Even if Evan decided he's had enough sponsoring teams,that's his business. He's done a lot for the sport and I know the Torco teams are down about this ,but life will go on and hopefully drag racing will too. Have any of you looked around and seen the current situation our financial institutions are in?, the outlook is very grim. Major banks being bailed out by China,Japan and others,the stock market in a downward spiral,gas prices through the roof and will go higher. I'll be honest,I just hope our country survives,not just the Torco teams.

I second that, in fact very well written. I've dealt with over a Billion dollars in contracts during my career including a government over throw ,and the Asian currency collapse.
I also was not paid in full by "rich guys" for running their race cars. Evan might be a great guy to many grandstand warmers on this board, but to to a hand full of racer/businessmen he is called something indifferent.

I just read Burk's Blast over on DRO, and I think he wrote a great piece. Everyone needs to chill, and be thankful for what Evan Knoll has done over the last several years. It almost doesn't matter what the real reason for him sitting out is, I just can't believe this guy would take any action that would hurt anyone if he could help it. Whether the number is 20, or 30 or 50 Million that he has spent over the last few years, we all know he wasn't getting any return on it. Everyone involved in this sport know what it means to "have the needle in the arm", and Evan obviously has it worse than anyone. If he never sponsors another car, think of what he could have done with that money to enhance his future, instead he just did what all of us joke about doing if we ever win the lottery or if we were Bill Gates. Even if his participation is never close to what it once was, I hope he is healthy enough in the future to spend time at the races just for the fun of it.
