Yep, SexZ porn productions. Rumor was he quit because NHRA told him to remove it.

No, you're absolutely right. I just felt like saying the quiet part out loud and used Summer as an example. She isn't the first and won't be the last. However, in this case, I found her means of rising to the top particularly less palatable.

Pleasure is a powerful stimulant that can easily lead to it being a vice which can lead to addiction. The sponsor in question is just another gateway to loss of balance in life. It?s anti-family and particularly exploits women and young girls into convincing them (in many cases unwillingly) that they have an ?advantage? in using their ?assets? and it will equate to success or perhaps wealth however fleeting that may be. Ones that think any such advantage is fairly seized or that it?s victimless might think differently if their daughter or granddaughter went down that path. NHRA is now promoting gambling, just another victimless vice so doubt they have qualms about such sponsorship. One of the things I enjoy about racing is the shared relationships, and we are lifted up when others lend a hand or encourage us. This is not about any of that, it?s selfish pursuit of pleasure/success regardless of cost or those that are victimized in the process. In racer speak it?s the moral equivalent of a matty box. Off the soap box….

That’s deep but I say there are no victims only willing participants. OF isn’t exploiting anyone that didn’t chose to be for $, a lot of $ for some.

since you do not have a sexy body with large amounts of cleavage try to use the brain that God blessed you with to get the things you would like to go along with the talent you have.

Love your reply,
Im just curious, I thought you could not advertise any type of porn, example: websites, strip clubs, etc on a vehicle competing in nhra?

Dawson,

There has been plenty of good advice given in this thread. The above is the best you're going get, take it & run with it; I'm sure you will!

As for sponsorship(s) or marketing partners sometimes they come in different forms. I have mainly been blessed with my financial backers/supporters & race car owners. It started with my rookie year winning a track championship (foundation), many...many moons ago. I continued to be a consistent above average racer for over 35+ years now. Anyway, get creative with promoting your race program. I started with the local news channels & newspapers. Then got some regional sports network recognition & some limited national exposure. Build your foundation, do some creative self-promotion, get your name out there, drive many different race vehicles, just to name a few items.

While I was grateful for my traditional sponsors/marketing partners. The best part of my racing program was my financial backers/supporters & a close 2nd was the car owners I drove for. I never understood why some of my supporters or car owners did what they did for me. They never wanted anything in return, didn't want any recognition! They just wanted B King to be successful. Thanks for all the support/backing over many...many years!

I wish you the best in your future racing endeavors. You're a breath of fresh air to CR. Keep up the good hard work & great things are coming your way! Patience ............

When it comes to the Pro categories whether it be NHRA or Nascar sometimes the best drivers don't make it there in favor of another driver that brings the funding to the party. Listening to the Dale Jr podcast over the last couple years has helped me realize how much this effects drivers getting their chances depending on their relationships and the sponsorship money they bring with them. It may not always be the case but is more times than not.
