IHRA Nitro = $900 - NHRA Nitro = $2,000?

[shane]

From what I understand Nitro at the IHRA race this weekend in Canada is $900, at the NHRA race in Seattle this weekend it's $2,000.

Can anyone confirm these numbers?

Shane,

I would hazard a guess that IHRA is based on Purchased cost where as NHRA is based on Replacement cost.

I know our parts sell price is based on replacement, not just on item cost, but landed costs, which includes exchange rate the day the bill is paid, shipping and customs charges, bank fees... and in some cases, grease...

I think I found the reason

I think I found the reason

I don't think that's it at all. If anything it should be more, being that it's in Canada, where most things are double what they are in the states.

 

[davey]

I think I found the reason

Let's see. $900 times 53 divided by 99%, carry the 2, scratch head, yup $8000 Canadian.

 

[lmhb oyf]

As of today: $1.00 (US) = $1.0057 (CAN)

unbelievable....

 

[Al smith]

not the currency... the laws. sheesh

 

[Mooseman]

Isn't the nitro cost in the states something to do with some homeland security act you guys have ?? I don't think canada has one of those

Maybe Canada and or IHRA does not have the Compton/ Light Tariff.

Ummmmm..........how can that be if it has to come from VP?

 

[shane]

Since its VP's Fuel they can sell it at any price to anyone they want i would imagine... But I have been wrong many many times.. lol

 

[TJ]

VP can give it away for free if they choose too. Ask Chrisman/Densham and a few others what they pay and they will not answer out loud.
If you have a big bucks team you will pay the big bucks for everything as the barter system does not apply...

 

[Suzie Q]

Since they have the "exclusive" contract, isn't that a bit like "price gouging" the bigger teams?

Larry Morgan's T-shirt sales must be off the charts!

If they are more than twice the price then "price gouging" is the proper term. I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that it doesn't have to be that way.......

So does the amount of kickback go up when the price goes up????? Just asking???

 

[Al smith]

Price gouging is when you are way overcharged for something. When you are forced to buy from a single supplier and are charged twice the market rate. it's actually Rape
