I’m late to the party, but, YT search “How to lie your way to $34B”. It’s about the fake Nikola electric semi-truck. I cannot believe how many in the industry invested in this scam. Talk about astonishing.
Why cant people just pay for their racing the right way.... with cocaine money? Thats how powerboat racers did it and nothing bad ever happened to them. Well almost nothing bad. Except for the few guys gunned down. In front of their shops. and on the highway. Come to think of it, Maybe thats a really bad way to pay for racing. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1996-10-20-9610180407-story.html https://www.grunge.com/482025/what-netflixs-cocaine-cowboys-didnt-tell-you/
Dan, coke money was (and is still rumored) to support Sports car racing. Shit, wsbk had a team or two funded by blow.
It IS a helluva drug. racing orgs...SORRY NO MORE CIGARETTE OR BEER MONEY. but the coke money is fine as long as Bernie gets his hookers and blow....
I think George Morales of Mercruiser Special and Maggie's Mercruiser Special fame was a big name who ended up in the gray bar hotel or dead. Used to have 100k cash bets between him and Al Copeland for race wins.
