Well, it seems maybe this thread got a little sidetracked. BUT, along that line, Funny Car Driver Broadway Freddy DeName's story beats them all :

The Mafia Killer Who Loved Funny Cars Broadway Freddie DeName

The Mafia Killer Who Loved Funny Cars, this is the story of Broadway Freddie DeName who was one of the most infamous drag racers of all time.

Tate Branch had a strip club sponsoring his TA/FC back in the late 1990's.

I used to see a 57 Ford ET car at Lions, sponsored by a topless club called the Booby Hatch. So that's been going on for awhile.

I think that strip clubs would still be acceptable. Lets not forget Leah Pruett won the Funny Car championship in the NHRA Heritage Series sponsored by the big DejaVu Strip Club franchise. The key there was that everything was "proper". I remember her saying that she wouldn't let that deal cross the line.

The Men’s Club.....strippers were in the back of the tow truck waving on the pickup road.

In the ‘90‘s, when Broadway Bob was reaching retirement, he would bring out Funnies and Top Fuelers along with Robosaurus, Benny The Bomb and an entire Kenosha strip club. The girls pretty much did everything short of stripping. The place would be packed and the audience male and female had a great time. Never heard one complaint from anybody. Broadway was the greatest Drag Racing promoter of all time, legend.

Wet t-shirt contests in the beer garden and the Green Mamba chained to an old junker out in the field, burning it to the ground. My childhood.....

Raising hemp is roughly the equivalent of raising cotton.

The money is in the smoking kind. Hemp is only good for making rope and clothes
I can see it now. NHRA Red Frog. Zig Zag Rolling Papers. Visine Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceway
There is money in those 3 companys, just saying. It's legal why not NHRA

Since recreational was legalized in Oklahoma, Elite Motorsports have run "Elite Cultivation". EE has posted about it on her FB page several times. I don't know that they have any branding on their cars though, I haven't really looked at the car close enough.
