NHRA Layoffs

[Randy]

The TAD and the TAFC have been treated poorly for years in my opinion.
The payout over the past 10 or 115 years has not really kept up with what others were paid.

Just my opinion

NHRA pays the same as they have for many years but contingencies are way down. We won Vegas 2 in October 2009 and the Winternationals in 2012. The contingency payout was down about $4,000 in those three years due to less participation by the manufacturers in the program. I'm not sure where it is now but I doubt if it's gone back up.

I definitely don't see anyone going back to TAD or TAFC. They get treated like trash sometimes.

Has happened. Spencer Massey comes to mind.

....Spencer Massey comes to mind.

I was reading about the sh$t storm Kyle Larson got himself into, and thought about Spencer. I thought to my self "Not the first time something like this has happened!"

Didn't Spenser get a second chance (and blow it)?

 

[Cliff]

He drove once for Pat Dakin last year.

That's not the point, he reportedly had a similar incident at the NHRA awards banquet and he didn't lose his job like Kyle Larson has. I believe he drove for a couple more years after that reported incident.
