Now a company can post and NHRA will do the product/decal verification for no cost. Granted, they don't get midway space, signage, tickets, etc., but a company that wants to have their sticker on your car and reward their loyal customer can now do so without breaking the bank.

Good job, and thanks...

Absolutely! This is a great deal for mfg and racers alike. Thank you!!

I am encouraged. It looks like someone more understanding of the proper role with this process has entered NHRA. the value proposition NHRA should be providing is to be a facilitator that brings both racers and vendors/manufacturers together in a way that benefits all three groups.
Vendors reach racers who buy their products that reward them if they do well at NHRA events. NHRA should be absorbing this cost and consider it an investment that pays off in terms of membership, division growth participation and National event growth, etc. They really should never ever charge for administering contingency.the more they grow contingency,the more all three groups benefit!

This also strengthens their position for title rights and advertising if they do it right. Not because they bully the ones that are stuck, but rather they encourage participation through mutual benefit.
