Kenny Nowling must be licking his chops.. ADRL is def. set up to be the future of Drag Racing and I think NHRA is speeding up the process exponentially...

I'm suprised it took this long. What does is say about NHRA that they will throw a company under the bus that has supported drag racing for how long? Typical tire **** though....happens in all forms of racing.

What comes around goes around. M/T pushed hard to accomodate their tires to fit in certain classes in the past. Now that theyre on the other end, they bitch out. LOL.

Perfect opportunity for the Sport Compact Race Organizers to approach them for sponsorship... think about how much money they were spending on that...!

My thoughts exactly.
I'd be willing to bet they'd be able to sponsor a SC series and
still save a crap load of money.

at least they know what they are doing. NASCAR actually needs their fingers and toes to count how many sponsors they have, not just one hand.

Max Naylor and BTW: They're issuing half off tickets for the Winternat's this Feb.7-8th for the first 1000 people ... who's going? We'll get there and talk to M/T with hopes they'll pick up the West Coast NSCRA ???

Mabey IFO or BOTI can pick up a sponsership. There's a grip of imports running M/Ts.

There are no sponsor in dragracing . There are only marketing partners . Sponsors do it for them selfs, Marketing partners do it as a team for the betterment of the group .
