You have to realize that the "LIVE" show Isn't all live. The first part is pre-recorded to give them some buffer time. That's why it looks like it flows so nice.

That is true. But, NHRA really has it down to a science as far as running a show with hundreds of cars.

 

[BOO BOO]

As of now, no. That's one car, are you telling me that tracks are going out of business because that car?

Really think the NHRA is missing out on a possible great marketing tool by not allowing LD to run his 2 seater.

IndyCar and Honda just cancelled their two-seater program (driven by Mario Andretti) because it wasn't really generating any interest.

I'm going with Mark and Darrell on this one. I think all ride-alongs have their appeal, but this one is in a league of it's own.

Although the price is out of reach for most folks looking for a quick thrill, it's well within the wheel house of the executives that could afford to take a look at drag racing as an advertising tool and making an investment. There are a ton of other obstacles to get around when it comes to sealing any deal, but this would be a great ice-breaker.

Now, If NHRA would allow teams to bring Larry in for a good potential sponsor, That could be a win. But not having Larry there just for that sole purpose.

I wonder how many actual paying customers Larry has in a season ?

They don't run hemi engines on nitro.

Which lessens their liability a ton. They also don't require 2 hours maintenance between runs.

Which also explains the $10k price.

I'd rather spend 10k on a heads, cam & exhaust package for my Vette, but to each his own.

I’m with you Tony. Or, get my alcohol license. But it is a cool deal from a marketing aspect. What kind of Vette you have?

Ken, what I read somewhere is he had three scheduled and someone decided to ride as well later in the day. Whatever the case I hope Larry is successful in whatever he does. He’s a cool guy !
