Like most truth, it probably lies somewhere in between the overly positive and the overly negative. Maybe increased tracks and races until the land becomes too valuable (Data centers, warehouses ) then gets sold for that purpose. Landowner makes money. FYI. That has been happening forever...........

Elon Musk:

Sept. 2013: "We should be able to do 90 percent of miles driven [autonomously] within three years."

Oct. 2015: ""From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner."

April 2017" "November or December of this year, we should be able to go from a parking lot in California to a parking lot in New York, no controls touched at any point during the entire journey."

Explain the need for the Boat racing?
I don't see any connection between that and land ownership.
The one big positive thing about all the IHRA movement is, it woke up the sleeping Giant.
It seems to me that NHRA is and has to step up to the plate.
I know we me included have TORCO memories.

I just keep going back to "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

In the meantime, a lot of mid and lower funded teams are going to finally get paid for their efforts. I'm going to enjoy it and go to as many as I can......and the 2 seater is able to run at National Events....and it's 40$ a ticket...good enough for me

I have said it a few times now, they are businessmen they are buying assets, land, which pretty much no matter what is going up in value. They buy tracks at low prices, do some renovations and race at them. chump change for the people involved. If they make money along the way great, if it is successful till he dies even better. At the end they will either sell off the land at a profit or change the business model to something else.
We the average person see tens of millions of dollars and are in awe, to the people involved it is equivalent to us spending 10K.

Absolutely correct Ken. The term scared money fits a lot of people
