I totally agree with you he may not be liked in the camping community (I don’t think he’s spent a night in an RV in his life lol), but like Lew said above maybe it’s time to branch out and look at some non traditional sponsors. In this pandemic time, dollars are hard to come by. NHRA needs a title sponsor to survive, a sponsor that believes in what the foundation of drag racing is .

Winston and Camel were non automotive sponsors.

It does matter what happens with the overall title sponsor. If NHRA goes bankrupt, do you really think Lucas Oil wants to be associated with them? Yeah, not much of the money from Coke trickles down to the sportsman but if the upper echelon fails, so does the whole company! NHRA failing does none of us any good.

I could care less of what Camping World's owners has to say about politics. If we boycotted every company because of their political contributions or affiliations, we would not have much to eat, drink or drive! As long as he is throwing his $'s toward NHRA and keeping it afloat, then we have additional places to race.

Why is it that when Tom Compton tried to "sell off" the pro series of the NHRA most of the NHRA Sportsman people (including Tech people) I spoke to thought it was a good thing and now the Sportsmen can't wipe their own butts without the pros? We are the only part of the organization that can even remotely come close to supporting ourselves.

You guys are hilarious, Camping World has gone on record stating they do not need or want TRUMP supporters as customers...did you happen to see how many TRUMP decals were on the race cars at INDY ?,,,,,,Over 15,000 members on this forum and how many are dems ?....my guess is less than 1%.....

All that'll tell you before you walk in their store, is everything on the shelf is made in china.

There's plenty of globalists on the right, all of them as far as I can tell. They've all lined their pockets green offshoring the US economy. They'll throw Trump under the bus at the first opportunity it is expedient to lining their pockets more green.

I agree with the premise of your point but the details can't be ignored.
