One thing about it, everyone has something Strange on their car. I don't know all the details of NHRA's requirement for being a sponsor, but I have heard. Seems there should be some room for adjustment or negotiations for the racers sake if nothing else.

I'm not taking sides in the least, but when I look at a company with a customer base like Strange is $13,000 really what the problem is ???

I heard the $13k was the fee to just hand out the Perfectly Strange money.

bingo....you're asked to pay a lot of money to hand out money, been brewing for a while and Jeff just had enough. You'll notice that Strange is no longer solely focused on drag racing for it's revenue.........privatizing contingency could gain some serious traction with Jeff's public display of dis-satisfaction

This is just another example of the greed of NHRA to the detriment of the racers. How many companies don't pay contingencies that use to? How many companies would still pay if it was more affordable and there weren't these BS payments? Look at the salary schedule of the top 10 or 12 people in NHRA. These folks will ride this ship right into the ground before they change.

it was also mentioned on FB that SV-1 carb people were offered a chance to make their carb NHRA approved for Pro Stock for a 50K fee. That is just outrageous

$13,000 is not enough money for you to be concerned how it is spent?
