This is dead-on correct! Powerade has done nothing to promote Drag Racing outside of the sport. I remember talking to another racer last year about Powerade. We were wondering if they were going out of business. I still have a pair of "Winston" pants and several hats given to me by the "Winston Girls" at various races.Ever bought a Powerade drink at an event? It's twice the price as at the 7-11 down the street! Some support! Jim

Well Powerade did give out coolers at national events there first year. It did have there name on it LOL.

OK, but do you still have the coolers, and did any "Powerade Girls" give them to you? I rest my case.Jim

I HAVE A BETTER ONE FOR YOU.

HAS ANY SPORTSMAN RACER EVER BEEN OFFERED A COMPLIMENTARY ICE COLD POWERADE BEVERAGE AT THE TOP END AFTER A RUN?

I THINK NOT.
