its a strange notion because 1) NHRA is a "not for profit" organization and.. 2) its an organization that was formed and supposed to support the racers, not support itself.
Theyve lost touch with reality and each move takes them further and further away from it. Theres a line in the Mickey Thompson release that says something to the effect...
“Eliminating the NHRA from our schedule will allow us to focus our attention and resources on faster growing segments of the drag racing community."
I'm not defending any NHRA practices other than the Goodyear exclusive tire rights and only for the reason I explained. M/T knows that there will be a lot of their tires run on NHRA tracks. We run M/T's exclusively and every track we race on is NHRA sanctioned. M/T is out nothing by pulling out.
