They (M/T) are still going to support the guys who are with Team M/T, there just want be a trailer there from what I gather from the press release. I for one applaud them for telling NHRA where to get off, what the NHRA did was wrong and as long as the companies roll over and let them do this they will continue. Heck, look at the letter Tom just sent out, did he mention anything about the sportsman racer, no! Did IHRA mention cutting or reducing entry fees for sportsmen racers, no! but they sure did give the Pro's free entry.
