No more Toyota in NHRA

[vortecd]

Interesting news. Always good to have many manufacturers in a sport. There are rumors of a new one to come to Nascar

What car do they sell that compares?

Nice! Does this mean we won't have to see the Toyota name plastered across Hemi engines anymore?

BTW, what "groundbreaking achievements" did they pioneer?

they didn't pioneer shit in NHRA. Most of what they did was pay $ to get the name plastered on everything. They did do a Funny Car body and some aero work though. I'm kind of torn - I love the sport and do not like to see money leaving, but Toyota in a home grown AMERICAN motor sport never set well with me.....AND it absolutely pisses me off to see Toyota, Ford and Chevy sponsored teams put those names on the HEMI valve covers...sacrilege!
