Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
That is the nature of 501c's. More,More,More.So they can spend it all !!. The best way to spend it is on their own board and administrators. Haven't you seen the list going around of what part of the Dollar you give gets to the needy. Most of those are top heavy with large salaries. That is just like a racing organization we know a little about.

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
Sounds like someone advocating cutting the payouts and just give trophies. Wally would be so proud..

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
I just had to chime in here. My hat is off to the ATI crew for pulling out of NHRA.I got sick of NHRA'S greed a long time ago.I hope this is a new trend to cut NHRA out of the loop and have the manufacturers pay the winners
runner up ,class, etc.on their own. Also I feel it is the right thing to do to run a manufacturers decal if he is paying me prize money.(remember they don't have to ) Shop-Rite isn't paying me class money just because I buy groceries there.I have and always will promote the people who help me and pay me.As one racer stated on this thread , fans do come up and ask what and why you are using a certain product,engine , converter, etc.One last thing , I hope the stock-super stock races get bigger and stronger run buy the racers -for the racers. Maybe the manufacturers will stop and take notice. As soon as i can afford it again that's where you will find my big black Chevy wagon. Al jr. |

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
The 2015 contingency are up and Strange Axles are on the list right now, but like most it might not be right. Also Sunoco the official fuel of NHRA is not on the list. Total payout if you have all products are TF and FC 7000 for win 2100for RU. Super Stock is 20,585 for the win with all products [we know this not possible] and 8065. for the RU. Stock is 17935. 7765. for the RU. Tom

Re: Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute
Unfortunately if companies keep going around the system, Nhra will outlaw non contigency stickers, that will be a real slippery slope for everyone. Easy for NHRA to enforce, tech will make you fill out sponsor list and if caught running, not pay any winnings or contigencies.
Will make many racers furious, but look how NFL enforces rules. Actually may be the best thing for NHRA management, drive all the sportsman racers away and just have the PRO's to deal with. Problem, Where will all sportsman racers race?. Last edited by rognelson777; 01-31-2015 at 09:02 PM. |
