MT pulls out of NHRA - Page 2

M/T spent a lot of money last year researching and testing their P/S tire. I'm sure they are more than a little pissed about the "exclusive" supplier deal.

Maybe NHRA can supply the tires to the pro's like they do with the nitro. After a small markup of course.

I'm with you M/T. I hope that NHRA revisits their decision and makes it possible for you to continue to do business with them and their racers.

A Second that!

I support Mickey Thompsons decision. They have been a major sponsor for 26 years with the NHRA and they deserve to be treated better. For NHRA to change the rules without first consulting or informing companies like M/T goes to show why the list of contingency paying companies gets shorter each year.
The NHRA continues to act more like a government agency with no regard for the people or companies that are affected by their decisions.
M/T has made the best working sportsman tires forever, and I'm sure you will see them supporting the sportsman racers through their team M/T program or other events and sanctioning bodies.
