Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute

Strange is about 20 miles from me- I know a lot of the guys in there---constantly working and developing new parts for Nascar-they have realized the continuous money potential of Nascar and stock car racing in general. Drag racing for the most part is a one time deal-- you buy some axles they never need to be replaced--buy a center section once in a while--- many companies sell ring & pinions so why would they want to invest in something like that??? Nascar on the other hand usually has "no budget" when it comes to replacement parts--- they replace stuff every weekend after every race and carry a boat load of spares too. I think they are weaning themselves off of drag racing and focusing more & more on "stock car" racing-- I've met Jeff on many occasions and he is not dumb he is following the money trail-Strange does not need NHRA it has a well known name and will survive without NHRA---NHRA on the other hand needs Strange as well as the other manufacturers to survive and keep revenue coming in-- my 2 cents on it FED 387
