Whiners? I guess having integrity, class and doing things the right way means nothing. One reason for racer NHRA loyalty (to a fault) was an organization that stood for something...the NHRA oval was a symbol that stood for something...once.

FJ, I certainly understand yours and others appreciation for Olds and their committment to racers, esp the sportsman guys, but I can't recall their using the mfgs award to increase everyday sales, certainly "in-house" pride possibly, but what do Olds, TRW, Grace, Federal Mogul, Quaker State, et al have to show for their NHRA dollars? Does it do Coca Cola any good to have viewers watch winner circle guys forcing a sip of PowerAid or whatever energy drink is of the day, when they are obviously thirsty, and would probably slam a Coke or Bud...I've often wondered how the marketing guys spin these things to the bean counters
