Then you have to get them in the guide. Then you have to get them to the tech guys in the field, and get the tech guys prepared to deal with them. You're asking nhra to spend a considerable amount of time and money. It would require them to hire more staff.

In return for that, they'll get about 0.05% increase in membership and car count. At best.

In effect, you're asking nhra to spend at least $250k, and those foreign oem's are not going to pony up a thin dime for nhra.

It'll never happen.

And that is one of those rare instances where i agree with nhra. It is not a wise investment.
