good stuff Gary!!

Arman

 

I was just wondering if I can have all the contingency money company stickers made up in my own colors and designs, or do they have to be the actual company stickers in there own designs???

 

Many of the contingency sponsor do not mind if you color match and/or die cut their logos. However, there are some that require you run the logo that they produce. To make sure, please contact the said companies (contacts are on http://www.nhrasportcompact.co...html ) to ask what they require.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks

Gary,
With Dunlop being on the contingency list... will we have an approved Dunlop tire in SPFWD?
Thanks
Mike

 

Vince,

The Massagie will not be part of the NHRA Contingency program this year due to misuse by Ron Bergenholtz.

 

Mike,

As of today Dunlop is not approved for SPFWD. However, we are working with Dunlop and Goodyear to get additional tires approved. Keep checking http://www.nhrasportcompact.co...d=104 for the updated tires.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
