These are just the ones coming off: Bendix, Barry Grant, Mickey Thompson, Edelbrock, Mopar, Earls, MSD and Richmond. I race for fun and the occasional success. I spend far more than I win. The ones that I truly feel sorry for are the guys that depended on the sponsers for their livelyhood, The Lang boys, Fletch, Mark Faul, etc. Just an observation.

Last week Mopar was still on the list,no more.I'm down to 10 each for national and divisional.I'm afraid to take anymore old decals off.I have a few areas where the paint came off with the decal already.

It must be my browser, I see the list of companies, but not what they are paying. Is it me?

Some of us would just as soon keep all the decals on their car. It would be like a nostalga kind of thing. You know, decals from companies that do not pay anymore or have gone under, or who have changed thier name. Federal Mogul, CSI, Winston, Excide, Direct Connection, Moon, STP, Plymouth, etc.
Besides, if I took all the decals off, what would hold the car together.

My magnetic backed decals and Logo weighed over 30 pounds. But nobody cared I was always at least 250 pounds over. LOL
