Remember when??? (8 Viewers)

It took Amazon 7 years from when they went public to having their first quarter showing a profit. It took Google about 4 years. It took Facebook almost 15 years to show a profit and become EBITDA profitable.

Others, like Pets.com flopped. Granted, these were publicly traded companies but I maintain ones that aren't can face the same cash flow challenges. The well ran dry, investors balked, ad revenue shrunk or disappeared.

Cuttel I think had a plan (the specifics of which aren't really important to us here that weren't invested directly), but apparently the cash flow didn't occur as planned. If this is the case, and I suspect so, it's a risk many businesses take. As to why the cash flow didn't happen, that's a different story; time will tell and that's what we've been waiting to find out.

lot's of folks in today's world spend it before they get it.

Like Uncle Sam, LOL

you didn't strike a nerve. you showed that you are a typical keyboard ******* that sits all day looking for a chance to throw out a comment towards IHRA to make yourself feel good about yourself. So how many races did you attend and compete at this year? and I don't mean computer ones? you're the type that comes on these message boards and bitches about everything that you have nothing to do with from what I see and read. you criticize NHRA, you complain about tv coverage, you critique racers and of coarse throw out stupid comments like "how bout that ice" when you NEVER received a bag much less are owed money from IHRA. People like you are the problem in this world. all you do is criticize instead of being positive . you would rather laugh and make jokes about failure than cheer on success !

5 and I attended 4 and was 4th in alky fc points. I got PAID from every race I went to this year and last! did it hurt drag racing AFTER the shut down , YES! BUT it showed racers want an alternative to the other sanctions so bad that they were all willing to take a risk in hopes it would go on. If something new comes along, and you feel it would be a better alternative , you will never know without giving it a try!

I'll stand up for Paul -

I've agreed mostly with what you've posted here and elsewhere, but to be fair I think Paul was simply making a joke, something tongue in cheek, unless there's other posts he's made that show my belief wrong.

He's hardly a "keyboard whatever" you stated. Nor has he came on this board and "bitched" about "everything". He even apologized if the joke rubbed someone wrong.

I've not always agreed (but often do) with Paul but I think this attack is wrong and over the top.

Methinks you doth protest too much here.

Well said. With the collapse of the IHRA many people here have been poking sticks into hornets nests for various reasons. And rightly so.
