C'mon NHRA

When we signed up to sell their pipes, we were forced to sign an agreement stating we could not sell their pipes for less than full retail. Their largest customer is the Lemans group - aka Part Unlimited. Parts Unlimited sells through Dennis Kirk. Dennis Kirk discounts V&H pipes well under retail price, but V&H will not do anything about it as Parts Unlimited is their top customer. We however are still required to sell at full price.

A few years ago, we ordered a number of pipes and waited and waited. It turns out the pipes were being made, but all of them were going to Parts Unlimited - even though we placed our order first.

I've written letters to V&H complaining - but they do not care.

I've also heard stores about Byron Hinds wearing wind breakers on 90 deg days so he could install weight plates back on the bike on the return road before weigh in. It doesn't surprise me they set up a monopoly with NHRA and Harley, Cheating Bastards. They should outlaw those f@cking billet wannabe Harleys anyway.

Bryce can run with them if the playing field is equalized. Unfortunately NHRA gives every appearance that just like in politics, we have traded the concept of election for the concept of auction.
