If I Were King Volume 7
CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE "IF I WERE KING SURVEY"
If I were King, drag strip owners, promoters and racers would work together, to put on the best shows possible! It seems so simple; the drag strip owners have the “theater” and the racers are the “performers”. Theater owners and performers work together successfully every day, in about every other realm than racing.. why can’t it be done in nostalgia drag racing?
The really crazy part, is that when promoters and racers do work together, it invariably generates tremendous rewards! That’s why I call it “stepping over dollars to pick up dimes” when they don’t!
If I were King, racers and promoters would share percentages of the gate. This way, when an event goes well, everyone does well instead of just the promoter making a “wind fall”. Likewise, when things don’t go well, everyone shares the “pain”. This would put responsibility equally on the shoulders of both parties, to do their part! As King, I would appoint an independent accountant, whose fee would be shared by both parties (so there’s no cheating!).
All it takes is for all of us to focus on an often-forgotten individual; the guy or gal who paid for a seat in the grandstands! What do they want? If that fan is happy, everyone is ultimately going to be happy!
The best part is that it’s not “rocket science”; it’s simply adhering to the first law of business, which is the law of “supply and demand”. In the old days, we had promoters who cared about the fan in the stands and who put on tremendously successful events. Nostalgia drag racing is the “new” old days, and there is nothing stopping us from doing the same thing today.. if we all just work together!
