$13,000 is not the point. If it was $10.00 it would be the same. Its the fact that NHRA is not negotiating at all. Its pressure to pay is ridiculous and leans more to intimidation than buisness. I wouldn't pay them anything. Some buisness could be hurt by this non-payment if their product would not be on "the list" of acceptable replacements but the fact that you have to PAY to have your product approved for use,,, I am not sure about the integrity of this aspect.
Seems to me if you have enough money to pay NHRA you could have anything approved for use in any class. Bribery comes to mind here!
