That is very informative and interesting but I think it is still whistling past the graveyard. I am sure the man is telling you what he thinks is the truth but I wonder if he can see the forest for the trees. The Golden Rule is that " He that has the gold makes the rules " and the people that are being ask to provide the gold (The taxpayers/bond holders/stockholders) are going to have to be convinced that there is a positive cost benefit associated to racing and I believe that will be a tough sell. It is my understanding that it is the Dodge Dealers that provide the funding ? They may be in bigger trouble than the Company . It will be interesting to see what happens. I remember siting and watching in disbelief when the World Trade Center came down on that sad day. It was just a few weeks ago that the spokesmen for Fanny/Freddy/Leman Bros/Citi/Goldman/Madoff.. etc were telling everyone that things were ok....well, they weren't
