I have waited to respond- because I was insulted by the proposal.. I just do not see enough benefits for 13K a year... I can be more specific, but the fact that racers display the "NHRA/Strange" decal is of little importance to me... What we discussed was a program that racers displayed a perfectly Strange decal and more importantly- display a Strange suspension, axles and brakes decal on the vehicle- because they use the product. We thouroughly discussed my motive and not wasting anymore breath on it - I also talked at length, that branding was of the utmost importance and then I receive your proposal- obvously I was heard, but not listened to... Eric... I realize that you have to answer to others, so I don't want to take this out on you, but I got my hopes up that we could work something out- beneficial to both of us, but regrettably the win:win does not work with NHRA. I just do not negotiate at an insulting starting point - so please tell the powers to be to GO F**K THEMSELVES - we will carry on..." Jeff Strange

Fully agree with Jeff.....you know the first thing that flashed into my mind was how nhra was like the obama gov vs a private company.
"Give us more"
But it has to make fiscal sense for my company
GIVE ME MORE
That would make me uncompetetive, ruin my company
GIVE ME MORE!
Fine, I'll move my HQ to another country and you'll get no taxes at all!
GIVE ME ...WHAT??? OK, SOMEBODY ELSE, GIVE ME MORE!


"GO F**K THEMSELVES " exactly!
