I agree with all of the above but I don’t think the stands are full of paying customers. After the Michelin debacle, I understand (rumor) some very large percent of the seats are filled with “complimentary” tickets given to Boy Scouts, Rotary and anyone else who will come.

If EmperorEgg wants to put things back together, he should go to the French tire manufacturer. Lots of Luck.

I voted with my pocketbook and changed all my cars to Bridgestone and wrote Michelin a letter with copies of the invoices – no response.

This is one of the FEW cases where I can’t totally fault George, particularly with a $12M FEE, (not a percent of gate).

Best,
Grady
