Always nice to see a new sponsor entering NHRA

I posted this in the Team News section this morning.
Yes, it's good to see a non automotive company as a major sponsor.

as of rite now assuming okuma and/or sandvik/coromant will fill money void after 11 scag races? on the rendering there is JCM logo?
a retired 'sargeant' selling lawn mowers. nothing wrong with that. IMO they'll run strong rite out of the gate. hope Scag enjoys their foray into nhra and signs up for more.
guess we'll see if there's a new 'official nhra mower' ...... catch tony on castello's WFO show from 12/21. tony really seems proud of himself to equate 'zero-turn mower' with
'zero-turn' drag racing ....... the phrase i think would work great for this team is 'we're mowing down the competition' (in business and on the track)

I see a few similarities to Smokes NACAR deal. I wonder if there were any connections.

SCAG makes a really nice product, most of the commercial landscapers down here in Florida use them as they're really heavy-duty.

So could Scag get into tractor pulling? Maybe Tony could divide his time between a nitro Scag puller and the T/F car........... heh heh

Or, SCAG could have a Tony Shoe mows your lawn sweepstakes... make him work it...
Sorry Don, I could not help myself!

on the bottom of nhra.com page, in the never ending list 'official nhra something', there is Chosen Payments, official credit card processor of the NHRA.
is this tony's company?

Just heard that DSR and SCAG are combining on a "B2B" deal.
DSR will manufacture a "Tony Schumacher" signature labeled power adder for all those commercial SCAG mowers.
Their primary market is BerserkoBob's S. Florida. It will lower the yard mowing ET by a bunch.
However they may also seriously break the noise ordinance of all those 55+ communities.
