so every year we watch Jim Dunn attract multiple new sponsors......off the top of my head he's had mooneyes, penthouse, canidae,
grimeboss, tap it, USD, snickers, k&n filters, rislone, lucas oil, and now alo. (i only looked up 2 of these sponsors, the rest i remembered)
and i will try alo.........sponsors do not need to get into the winner's circle to be a successful campaign.
can't remember where i saw a TV interview with founder of Alo; the last thing i thought this guy would do is sponsor a funny car, but here
he is......it would be very interesting to hear the story behind his involvement with Jim Dunn and what he perceives are the benefits
of sponsoring a funny car in the nhra......and at what dollar level is he involved at (i know we'll never get that info).
lately it seems winning does not ensure longevity....diehard did not come back after a championship.....castrol & ford walked from mr. nhra,
and he had a tough time replacing them, now alan johnson is looking and so far nothing.
i love even these one race deals such as the taylormade deal with head racing.....hope to see them back again; in fact he should have
taylormade again @ brainerd which is in the middle of golf heaven; the promotions possible at the area courses in the week leading up
to the race would be endless.....taylormade funny car sitting beside clubhouse or 1st tee or 18th green....or even better set up
a taylormade demo day on mon/tues/wed prior to race......have car sitting next demo tent....have drawings for race hospitality tickets
