New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors

Heaven help us all. Many have stuck by NHRA for so many years. I guess the feeling is that it will get better. Seeing all of the post on hear about racing with a different organization, starting a new organization, racing combos, anything but NHRA is really a fasination to me. I have mentioned and recommended other drag racing venues, only to be blasted over the years and basicly told that I was wrong to go on this site and even mention anything outside of class racing with NHRA. Please forgive me, but how many of you remember being financially able to attend and compete at a national event with NHRA. No grade points, no set "index" to run in order to compete and going to all of the Manufacturers, filling out a form, putting the decals on the car and "getting paid" more for all of the decals than the actual purse. Look back at some of the old stock, superstock and modified (RIP) cars and how many decals were on those cars.

Summit, Jegs and all the others, there are alot of nice tracks that would love to see you coming knocking on their door with your funding to put on a race. Set up an event that racers and crewmembers can afford to compete at, do some print and airways advertising and watch the racers and the spectators show up. Okay here I go again, tracks like Z-Max Dragway, Bristol Motorsports Park, etc. don't care if races like Pinks All Out come back and bring over 500 racers and 20,000 spectators for a two day event.
