I'm more uneasy about the Radical Mulslims ( Or anyone who takes the Koran as gospel ) who exist soley to wipe out the West and those who refuse to bow to "ALLAH" gaining influence in the Greatest Show on earth!!!![]()
With regard to buying American made products.....go clothes shopping as see how hard it is to buy clothing that's actually made in America. Damn near impossible!
A very good friend of mine recently went to by his annual pair of Red Wing Shoes. He was apalled to find out they are not made in America any longer. That was one of the main reasons he spent the money on them specifically in the first place--and they aren't cheap.

Hey Leebone, I don't think the Brew Brothers will be covering any Rob Zombie tunes any time soon!

WOW, that's some pretty strong opinions you have. With 9-11 still ringing in my ears, part of me wants to agree with you. HOWEVER, I hope you are very wrong about Al Anabi. I'd rather look at it as money coming "in" to our economy and creating jobs. Also, I doubt very much if Larry, Alan and Del will have to bow to Allah.![]()
Registered member said:Probably not that much. A sponsors main objective is to eventually sell its products. In the case of Al-Anabi sell their country to potential customers. (tourists, investers)
I'm wondering how many drag race fans will contemplate visiting Quatar in the future or investing in it.
If I read the reactions on this forum I would presume none.
So maybe, just maybe Al-Anabi invests in drag racing because the like the sport AND want to put their country on the map.
I would welcome them, not scare the of.

This thread is defeatist, xenophobic and dammed near racist. Above all, it is completely nonsensical. ANY sponsor coming into the sport only sees dollars and cents, return on investment, position in the marketplace ... you know PRACTICAL THINGS. I doubt there is any executive/company on the planet Earth that is sitting in a board room going over 2009/10 marketing dollars saying to themselves: "I would really love to get involved in NHRA Drag Racing, but since Alan Johnson has big money behind him ... we may as well not even be there because we can't compete." PATENTLY RIDICULOUS.
This gets my vote for the first thread to be deleted in 2009.
"ANY sponsor coming into the sport only sees dollars and cents, return on investment, position in the marketplace ... you know PRACTICAL THINGS."
You say that WHILE the sports newest and biggest sponsor is exactly NOT that? That's what I'm saying. The biggest sponsorship contract to be signed was obviously NOT for return on investment. See if there are any more out there like him who would like to go heads up.
I'm not saying they're our enemy but, the old saying "My enemy's enemy is my friend"? Play them against each other and drag racing could benefit. What's more patriotic than bringing our money home? It's exporting of services if the money comes from somewhere else, even if the services are performed here.
ANYONE THAT WOULD HAVE ROB ZOMBIE AS THEIR AVATAR CAN'T BE TOO SMART ANYWAY.
