They can list the races they will pay, requirements and how much they will pay.

They only issues is, if there are any conflict with NHRA. I'm not sure if there is any legal issues involved. This is a area that I'm not sure about, and may not be legal.

I am not a lawyer, Cambria is though, so his take on it would likely carry the day.

Common sense would likley dictate that If there is no issue with Turbo Action, then there should be no issue with other companies, as long as they don't run afoul of the decency code enforced by both the ihra and nhra for good reason.

All you would have to do would be put a ongoing link in the competitors section to the companies website. Companies should update their websites to reflect such.

I think this is a wonderful idea. It would let any company that want to promote do so cost effectively. Lets face it, contigency payments would make a 100% difference for a lot of purchases ie PANTS, safety belts, etc. Or say an engine builder.........Getting paid for class wins, qualifying, even if its super small would make a huge difference in my purchasing decisions.



If the NHRA had an issue with it, it could spark a revolution............
