Re: New NHRA Enhancement for Sponsors
I think they are grasping for straws now. If they are going to institute this new "idea" they maybe should have given notice that effective for the 2012 season "this is what the situation is gonna be".---give any interested manucacturers/suppliers/mail order companies etc. the opportunity to opt out if they so choose---- otherwise you are going to be charged X dollars to put up a banner in the future---I really wonder what would happen if Jegs/Summit/Moroso whoever if they put up a banner or banners WITHOUT paying the $6500---What is the NHRA gonna do about it???? Jegs or Summit could decide they do not want to be the title rights sponsor for the Sports or Bracket series now what is NHRA gonna do ??? Who ya gonna get to put up that kinda money??? Most large companies have already finalized their advertising budgets for 2012 so there really is not a lot of room to threaten a sponsor cuz ya just can't get a replacement in a moments notice.
As far as a removal expense that just does not exist . If you notice when the races are over the racers and others are out cutting them down as fast as they can. Yes some of the smaller banner advertisers retrieve their banners but most just walk away from them not worth trieng to save them they are either damaged or not worth the effort to do it.
