Where have all the contingencies gone??? WOW!!!
 

Getting my car ready for the Natonal Open at Las Vegas next weekend. Mechanically, it is in the box and ready to go. Taking care of last minute details, I decided to check the NHRA Contingency postings for stickers to add or remove. Looks like the paint on the sides of the old Sebring will be seeing daylight for the first time. These are just the ones coming off: Bendix, Barry Grant, Mickey Thompson, Edelbrock, Mopar, Earls, MSD and Richmond. I race for fun and the occasional success. I spend far more than I win. The ones that I truly feel sorry for are the guys that depended on the sponsers for their livelyhood, The Lang boys, Fletch, Mark Faul, etc. Just an observation.

Last week Mopar was still on the list,no more.I'm down to 10 each for national and divisional.I'm afraid to take anymore old decals off.I have a few areas where the paint came off with the decal already.

It must be my browser, I see the list of companies, but not what they are paying. Is it me?

Re: Where have all the contingencies gone??? WOW!!!
 

Some of us would just as soon keep all the decals on their car. It would be like a nostalga kind of thing. You know, decals from companies that do not pay anymore or have gone under, or who have changed thier name. Federal Mogul, CSI, Winston, Excide, Direct Connection, Moon, STP, Plymouth, etc.
Besides, if I took all the decals off, what would hold the car together.

Ron....All of those decals could be considered as "ILLEGAL BALLIST" ! LOL

Re: Where have all the contingencies gone??? WOW!!!
 

My magnetic backed decals and Logo weighed over 30 pounds. But nobody cared I was always at least 250 pounds over. LOL

Re: Where have all the contingencies gone??? WOW!!!
 

DRIVER WEIGHT????? Just kidding.

Some of the racers I know refer to my car as "Hemi Under Rust", hence, I need to keep the decals on.
It is not illegal ballast, it is a safety issue.
