New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
 

This does not sound good for the racers. Read the article.

NHRA. It's all about the money.

The good news is, they don't have to pay the banner fee, not all of them put banners up.

Since they're doing that, they should make the cost of a spot on the "manufacturer's midway" optional as well.

They obviously haven't learned that revenue is tied to # of happy customers, not raising fees. Ask Netflix, B of A, etc etc. If they simply managed costs in the right areas it would cover the gaps but the suits don't understand the basics of business, sounds like the Obama syndrome, fly around like fat cats and expect others to pay for it.

I personally believe that this is a misguided attempt for NHRA to generate more money that is destined to back fire. I could be wrong. I would seem to make more sense to bring new sponsors on board rather that increasing fees for current supporters.

How long until they start to charge us for any banners we display in our pit areas, trailer signage, signage on race cars, or even...the contigency decals.

Re: New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
 

Bill, I am surprised they even allow any banners in the sportsman pits at national events at all. I would not be at all surprised to see them crack down on all displays in the pits, everywhere.

They're getting more greedy every single day. Greed kills everything it infests, sooner or later. I think we may be looking at sooner, rather than later.

Racers, support your local tracks, and your local combo races, it may be where a lot of your racing is done in the future, maybe all of it. It may even be where your next racing series comes from. Think about it.

Re: New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
 

All they are doing is driving sponsors away which hurts use all in the long run.

Re: New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
 

The greed just keeps getting worse and worse. The people on the NHRA board do not care about the sport, the racers or the manufacturers. All they care about is lining their pockets.

Re: New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
 

got news... they already "discourage" advertising / sales in the sportsman pits... ask MJ

anyway the sooner this ship sinks the better for us...then maybe SOMEONE (hint pat / alex etc.) would put together some decent races (with technical inspections, protests etc.) and we could race and support ourselves with the money not a bunch of leeches in glendora.
