New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors

[Ron Ortiz]

I want to be a contingency sponsor.
1st I have to put up a bunch of money to cover all the classes in Stock and Super Stock.
No one shows up in J/S, M/S, O/S, P/S, O/SA, T/SA, U/SA, V/SA.
I still have to pay for those no shows, does this make any kind of sense. And guess where the no show money goes? You got it, NHRA.
Sponsors want less classes because of this situation, not because of bye runs. With a bye run the racer at least gets a little money. With a no show, the greedy guys get the money.

I am surprised that a sponsor would even want to participate.

But don't worry sports fans, soon all the sportsman, except TAFC & TAD, will be relegated to their own separate events, such as the Jeg's Sportsnationals. You thought that the payouts were low before.

NHRA was founded for the racers to race. It seems that if you are not a Pro then you are not a racer. Times have really changed. Whenever I go to the Gators I wonder if I am going to be able to park inside the track instead of out the gate.

Hopefully it won't be inside the track.....at Orlando!

They're probably hitting the tracks up for more money as well. No matter how they spin Dallas' contribution to the "Company" they will be hard pressed to justify his $400,000.00 salary now. It will be very interesting to see if they make it through the season next year. Las Vegas may be willing to lay odds on that bet.
