This not the first time that NHRA has gone after the sponsors for more money by making a policy change and that ended up hurting the racers Back in the mid 1970s the sponsors handle the paying out of contingency moneys, they kept what wasn't claimed and spent it the next yer and so on. NHRA decided that they would take over handling the contingency pay outs and have the sponsors pay them all the money up front and NHRA would keep waht wasn't claimed by racers at the end of the year and put into NHRA bank accounts instead od fefunding it back to the sponsors A lot of the sponsors,that had not signed a contract before the policy change was made for that year, drop out Many of those that had already signed up for that first year did not renew the for next year This was told to me by the Carter Carb. CO racer technical rep that use to attend all the NHRA racers and help us, that needed help, on setting our carbs up We got hose several diferent wys by that decision It is to bad that a organization that was started by good people with good intentions gets waylaid by greed along the way
