Who would you like to be sponsor? (1 Viewer)

I don't really have a particular sponsor in mind, but can I ask for an end to exclusive deals that prevent competing sponsors from supporting racers and the sport?

I have heard that the Army is the only military sponsor allowed by the NHRA. I
might be wrong on this. Anyway, if I am right, it's a shame. My understanding
is that there use to be a good Army/Navy competition back in the 1970s.

You are correct Tom. I don't know how they got the ok for KBR and the Air Force deal, but last I heard someone I know had the Marines interested, but was told forget it due to the "official" status of Army.

How about the oldest brewing company in the USA and brewer of one of my favorite beers on the planet?

Red Bull would be a great sponsor for a drag racing team. Look at all the other teams they sponsor.
I guess my real point is don't let your sanctioning body censor who can and can not sponsor participants at the events it is bad business.

Now that I think about it, the company I work for sponsored a NASCAR
team for one race. Would be nice to see them do the same for NHRA.
