In the NHRA Pro world of today, where NHRA is calling Pros to fill
fields, and paying them more than 1st round lose money as a guarantee,
I guess they become your sponsor for the weekend and have no problem
dictating that they don't want a competitor advertised at their race.
Probably didn't help that Larry was appointed to a position at IHRA
this week. J.R.

The offending decal didn't have an IHRA logo or say IHRA anywhere on it. NHRA is really being petty about this. They should be glad to have another competitor to help fill their dwindling Pro fields! The date of the race doesn't compete with any NHRA race anyway. What are they afraid of? Jim

NHRA again copying IHRA

Larry Carrier would be proud.

(For the young pups, Larry would take a magic marker to all the contingency stickers on a car that didn't post with IHRA, when a picture was published in the IHRA rag.)

What's wrong with promoting Drag Racing in general? That's the problem with NHRA, they think it's all about them.
