OUCH.. where'd everybody go? Cops broke up the party. Ford went home, MT went home, aeromotive, comp cams, altronics, edelbrock all peaced out too? Can any new sponsors choose to be added over the course of the year or is this final?
Now in all seriousness, can we plead with NHRA to raise the payouts to make up for the loss of sponsors? 4 rounds and not even getting your entry fee back is just brutal. |

I don't know the process but I am going to assume the companies not only pay contingencies to the racers but have to pay NHRA to be a sponsor.
Maybe 'the cost of doing business' with NHRA no longer falls within their budget. ______________________________ Andy Stone 1102 A/S 1112 SS/C |

I'm thinking this is just a list of companies that have signed the contract, and many more longtime sponsors are still pending...
I sure hope!!!! |

Yea, it looks disappointing so far but I've been told that a bunch of the bigs have yet to commit. The new Class deal, however, is generating a lot of interest. Wait for 2012, should be real good !!!!!!!!

In class races, I'm going to take my allotted number of time runs, including 1st round of class, and that's it! Win or lose! No use of putting additional runs on my car that aren't elimination runs!
