Does Royal Purple Care About Their Customers?

I think you guys are wasting your time going after Royal Purple. All they did was buy naming rights to the track. They don't have anything to do with track operations. That would be like blaming Minute Maid every time the Astros lose. NHRA made the cancellation decision. Your beef would be would them. I have no dog in this hunt, just my .02.

This post makes zero sense. We aren't blaming royal purple for us losing a round like blaming minute maid for the Astros. Now if minute maid parks seats were full of turds and the stadium was crumbleling to the ground and that's why they canceled the game, then you could make that analogy. I would bet Minute maid wouldn't want thier name in that park anymore. That is what we are trying to get done, make the track improve or lose its royal purple money. This is not NHRAs fault. The venue Is the reason for the cancelation. But what do I know, I was just racing there and seen it first hand, a few times now

You're right, the "Astros losing" analogy is a bit of a disconnect. Blaming Minute Maid for a stadium deficiency would be more appropriate. In any event, the point I was trying to make was that a company that buys naming rights has little to do with venue operations. I hope you are successful in bringing pressure on the track owners.
