Strange Engineering/NHRA dispute

AlanPetersJr. · 01-30-2015, 08:47 PM

I just had to chime in here. My hat is off to the ATI crew for pulling out of NHRA.I got sick of NHRA'S greed a long time ago.I hope this is a new trend to cut NHRA out of the loop and have the manufacturers pay the winners
runner up ,class, etc.on their own. Also I feel it is the right thing to do to
run a manufacturers decal if he is paying me prize money.(remember they don't have to ) Shop-Rite isn't paying me class money just because I buy groceries there.I have and always will promote the people who help me
and pay me.As one racer stated on this thread , fans do come up and ask what and why you are using a certain product,engine , converter, etc.One last thing , I hope the stock-super stock races get bigger and stronger
run buy the racers -for the racers. Maybe the manufacturers will stop and take notice. As soon as i can afford it again that's where you will find my
big black Chevy wagon. Al jr.

The 2015 contingency are up and Strange Axles are on the list right now, but like most it might not be right. Also Sunoco the official fuel of NHRA is not on the list. Total payout if you have all products are TF and FC 7000 for win 2100for RU. Super Stock is 20,585 for the win with all products [we know this not possible] and 8065. for the RU. Stock is 17935. 7765. for the RU. Tom

Unfortunately if companies keep going around the system, Nhra will outlaw non contigency stickers, that will be a real slippery slope for everyone. Easy for NHRA to enforce, tech will make you fill out sponsor list and if caught running, not pay any winnings or contigencies.
Will make many racers furious, but look how NFL enforces rules.

Actually may be the best thing for NHRA management, drive all the sportsman racers away and just have the PRO's to deal with.

Problem, Where will all sportsman racers race?.

Seven pages of bitchin about NHRA, but you all still keep supporting them, with entry fees.

I just came across this on Facebook. And I have not seen it here so I thought I would forward it along for anybody interested.

Strange Engineering will continue its NHRA National Axle (Pro Race and Alloy) contingency program through NHRA for 2015.

Pulling out this year would not have been fair to the Hyatt racing trailer (which transports our displays and service products to all NHRA national events) to replace our spot on such short notice. The Hyatt’s have been very loyal to us, so we wanted to ensure they had ample time for a replacement. We will not be on the midway in 2016 and will review, towards the end of the year, if NHRA has made enough changes to give its contingency program a better value. To be absolutely clear – we WILL have a contingency/reward program(s) for our customer’s that race NHRA- no matter what we decide – Jeff Stange
