Sponsor Names

I`m sure the Coca Cola company loves it when the "NHRA Enhanced Tour" goes to tracks that have Pepsi or other soft drinks on the top of the scoreboards!

I would leave before covering up a sponsor's name on my car,NHRA is getting way out of hand!!!! (they name streets after them, ONE WAY)

The rule is pretty cut and dry on page 61.

Unless its a primary full year sponser that is part of the grandfather clause you can't have anyone else's name on anything. Should have made been discussed with the sponsor when establishing a contract.

ZaZa is a gas/oil exporation firm that I believe her daddy is or was a part owner in---definiately not a drink company

I read page 61 of the rule book. It addresses Full Throttle competitors says nothing about Lucas Oil competitors. Maybe I missed somthing.

Isn't it amazing how with several oil companies, it's called competition but not with energy drinks, well......

I thought Norwalk was a Full Throttle event.

Did this happen at the Lucas Oil in Norwalk from Mid-May?

I'll never have a car with a sponsors name on it but would do the smae if I did. It's a slap in the face to your sponsor to cover up what he's paid to have displayed. Minimum would be a phone call to get their permission.

I know a local guy who still takes his small sponsorship even though he hasn't raced in 2 years. The Sponsor is a large company that really supports Drag Racing so they don't keep close tabs on who they are helping and isn't aware of the situation. I hope Karma pays this guy a visit.

That's a cryin' shame. Talk about Full Throttle leaving a "bad taste" with racer, his family, friends and others! It actually discourages growth of the sport.
