CSK Blue (1 Viewer)

Just read on NHRA.com that CSK is only renewing for 1 car. Hopefully Jeff can come up with something. We need Canadian representation in Funny Car!

I know it is a business but I hope Jeff finds something. And Phil B. for that matter.

Good luck to the Worshams in 2008. Still a class act.

Like you said that is a business decision. But, it sucks. I really miss having Phil B. out there. And hope Jeff can get something together too.
What about the team? Denner and Cunningham? Good luck to all involved. Really hope they can find something to keep the team together.

How about Molson eh??

They've ran some races with Chevron as the primary sponsor on the car. I wonder if there's any possibility of signing Chevron full time?

As you probably know, Molson and Coors merged a couple of years back. Coors has just dropped the sponsorship of their Nextel Cup car and instead signed on to become the "Official Beer of NASCAR". Coors will be the sponsor of the pole award at all Sprint Cup starting in 2008 (Nextel Cup will become "Sprint" Cup starting next year). With no NHRA Powerade races in Canada I doubt that we'll see Molson as a primary sponsor anytime soon.

THAT SUCKS FOR JEFF!!!!

That's awful man. Hope you find a sponsor!

This is a huge bummer.

Wish it would have been the other way:
"Worshams to add 3rd F/C in '08".

I'm a little bummed with the annoucement today. I think in today's racing world two is better than one even though it isn't neccesary to have two cars. However I don't think that they truly ever had the budget to run two cars from CSK. The seat of the second car always went to a driver that could bring some $$ to the table. Hopefully Jeff can hook up with another team or secure his own sponsor.

I'm not trying to throw gas on a fire BUT then why has there been NO difference between the 2 cars this year, other than the "YYZ" decal on the blue car?
I've seen no EES decals on the blue car! I think that CSK DID pay for the blue car but Jeff/EES paid himself!

JMHO!

I mis-posted: I'm fairly certain that ALL of the blue drivers have been paid by Worsham Racing/CSK except for J. Gray.

Good luck Jeff!!!

Hate to see this..especially since Jeff has been running better.

Jeff and Windy,

I know you guys come on here, so I just want to wish you all the best. Hopefully someone has taken notice of the way you've performed this year, and you can get something going for the 08 season.

All the best.

Mike

This freakin' bites! We were headed to the car on Saturday (I think) and we semi-passed Phil coming down from the booth I believe.....made me think about what happened to him. Now this? <sigh>

Good choice. I'm a big fan of Sid and the boys.

See a pattern there? The US Army cut back too. Why? It costs an awful lot to sponsor one car let alone two and the extra exposure really doen't do them that much more good. Oh, it's nice to have that extra car out there when the other car doesn't get in or is out in an early round, but lets face it advertising budgets are tight, yet the cost to race continues to sky rocket.

I was visiting with an ex-fuel racer today and he agrees that the costs have exceeded what the exposure is worth for MOST companies. Unless you race IHRA where the exposure to a sponsor is limited since the series is not nationwide (but I hope it is someday), you need a minimum of 2-3 million IF you already own most of the equipment to race in NHRA, since the purses aren't enough to sustain a team on the road.

Some kid ask me what I spend. I told him about 25K per year. He said "that's it?" And I said "25 K doesn't appear out of tin air. It's a hell of a lot of money if you start with zero."

"That's it?" You want ask him, if that's such a small sum,then open up your wallet!

 

[rocketman]

For me that's equal to 2 million per year.
