Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
Read on Strange Engineering FB page, they are upset with NHRA and I guess will not award contingency, Perfectly Strange monies? Anyone read or know more about this than I?

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
I think almost all manufacturers are upset with NHRA on this subject. You see, they must post a dollar amount for contingencies. Whatever is left over after paying contingents is kept by NHRA. And you thought that Ponzi schemes were bad?

Perfectly Strange money went away a couple of years ago.

They posted that they will come up with some form of private contingency for racers. Said Nhra wanted to hit them for 13k. Typical Nhra running off another sponsor like Mark Williams a few years ago.

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
The other thing that Jeff from Strange posted on facebook. Was that they quit a couple of years ago because NHRA would not negotiate any of thier fees. Recently they were contacted and from what it sounds like NHRA had reconsidered and was willing to talk. But it ended up all being BS. and that really pissed him off. I dont blame him for not wanting to continue.

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
Don't blame them one bit. If more sponsors would post private contingency awards it could set a trend and maybe NHRA would get the message and not be so greedy. But they have some big salaries to pay and I think that is what is the driving force behind thier money grab.
