Nothing additional is planned at the present time. Our budget is stretched pretty thin already.

Take a hint from Ford Motor Co. Drop the Pro sponsorship and you would have plenty of money to spend.

Perhaps, rather than punishing Summit, what people should do is tell Summit why they buy parts there when they buy parts.

Maybe Larry could modify the website with a link to Summit that racers could use when they order parts, so that Summit could know what Drag Race Central does for them.

One major reason for sponsoring the professional racers is that they get way more exposure. I am sure that the fans in the stands and watching TV buy a lot more stuff than we do.

As far as companies sponsoring things that are aimed towards us, I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them know that we appreciate their support of things that are important to us. It doesn't hurt to let them know that their support of a certain entity is the reason for the current order that we are sending their way.

Bottom line is that this is about business. It has to be good for all involved or it fails.
