And my jacket and competition license says IHRA, not NHRA. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1

You can get qualifying results and Sunday results right here on moparts, sometimes before the race is aired.

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)

Goodyear wanted to be the only tire or they would pull out. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Without the NHRA there would be more dead racers-purely and simply. Vitually every other sanctioning body has eventually adopted most of the NHRA's safety protocol. Like any other big target they attract criticism. Goodyear is the only reason there is T/F racing. I'll say that again "Goodyear is the only reason there is T/F racing. They have never shy'd away from the incredible demands that fuelers put on tires. They should be rewarded for their dedication and that is exactly what the NHRA is doing.

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.
