Sounds like MT gave the NHRA the finger. Good for MT. Let's see some 10.5 and drag radial racing on ESPN2~!

After the way the GOBs treat racers, sponsors and fans, I'm amazed more haven't come out with such releases. BTW, I have not gone to or watched any NHRA racing since the Countdown was instituted.
Why should you? You can get qualifying results and Sunday results right here on moparts, sometimes before the race is aired.

Hmmm...wonder how big Goodyear's check to NHRA was, and how long before NHRA issues a statement calling it a "safety measure"?
I'm sure someone's wallet is thicker and yes somewhere along the line they WILL say its a safety measure. Must have been a good sized check also I dont know what these guys are thinking(NHRA)

They can stuff their countdown....along with 1000' racing.....
Funny, but I recall years back that Firestone used to supply TF tires too...wonder what chased them away. A single tire supplier = single point of failure, and no incentive for competition and development among manufacturers.
