I'm with you, every time that I see Strutmasters on the side of a race car (which is a lot) I think of Evan Knoll from the Torco era. I've seen a couple of interviews with the owner of Strutmasters and he seems like a nice fellow. Pretty awesome that he's spreading the wealth to drag racers of all levels.I will admit I don't follow the sport that much anymore so this may be obvious to those of you still involved...but who is Strutmasters and where did all the $$$ come from? It seems like they're everywhere with a seemingly small product offering to do this much advertising. ?
At least Chip Lofton/Strutmasters has some physical assets, such as a manufacturing facility and physical inventory, that would give his monetary investments in the sponsored racers some credibility. Evan Knoll only had falsified numbers on paper, which the US Government was able to easily track.Well the whole Knoll deal and Lend America of Mike Ashley left a bad taste on everyone's mouth.
