Now if you had a $1,000,000 and invested it in a mutual fund that pays 7% (I do have a fund that pays that amount,but I do not have $1,000,000) that means you are making $70,000 per year.
Why would you invest in a race track to make less money? You can say I love the sport, but you did not make a $1,000,000 by going with your heart. You made it with your head.
There are a ton of revenue out that that does not include tickets or the back gate.
My only point is that promoters are not hurting, if they were they would be no race tracks. These guys are no fools, there in it for the money and you can not blame them for that.
Very good evauation there DUNNODON! I do have one question: does it take you an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes?
