GARLITS vs FMA...and the Mopar Guy suffers because of it.

So, who is the bad guy, and why?
Garlits and FMA, together, moved the show to the horse park. So they both knew about the lease, correct? The lease locks someone into the horse park for a certain period of time. So Big D buys more property, and puts a show up against another show, knowing about the lease? So now both shows will suffer.
Agree. Two sides to every story. A compromise would take both sides to be willing to put aside egos and financial aspirations to make it work. As with most things in life, follow the money.
