Terrible Herbst's new facilities. Can you imagine if rally got big enough over here to result in a couple shops like this for something other than big trucks and buggies? Wow.

I think I just OD'd on awesome.

Well, not exactly new.

In fact last I heard they closed down their racing side of things earlier this year because of huge losses with their casinos/gas stations. Something like $127.2 million lost in 2007! Ouch.

Agreed. Wow.

Well, now we know. If you want to go racing, start by owning a company that can afford to lose $127,000,000 in a year and keep operating. Work your way up from there.

I don't think I could even afford to buy enough sets of Monopoly to have that much money. *grin*
