thats because the Raceway Park jacked up the sponsorship fee almost twofold, they figured they could dump that cash into more smaller tracks.

I got my overlay gauges in the mail today!! Those are nice!!!! Thanks!
If I remember correctly in an article that was on line with NHRA news they paid $63 million just for the naming rights!!!! That is just plain nuts! The money amount has since been erased from all news items about their obtaining the rights to Indy. The track only makes money from the circle tracks and US Nationals....as far as bracket racing, in 2010 they cleared ONLY a bit over $5000!!!!!!!!! Heck, I made more selling rims/tires and a few years made more clear by bracket racing!!!!! One last note...NHRA is supposed to be a not for profit organization! The pro classes get the pay outs and the rest is eaten up by employee costs.

Can I send you money now to reserve a set? What is the ETA for the next run? Could you do a run in silver?
Got mine also, see the feedback section
I got some advice. The needles are VERY fragile. I broke the oil pressure neexle but i have another cluster i can take parts from. You need heat just like on the directions. I used slightly too much and it crinkled in a few spots. Im not worried about it. Its difficult because the gauges are dished.
Wow, that's not good. Anyone else have this issue?
NOPE....next run will be of 20 sets...just wait until I post them again.

Can you measure where the hole at the oil pressure gauge needle and see if the one for the fuel should be in the same location...sorry guys...hopefully I can get that correction made too.

bummer mine just noticed min isnt cut either.
ok just installed mine tonight, i had wrinkle problems as well. One thing i noticed it these things are much thicker than the older versions. I didnt have half the trouble smoothing them out before. Might take that into consideration for the next batch.
It's hard to tell and measure. But it lookes like the same distance. Here it is finished.
Thanks for letting me know...the guy doing these always puts a laminate on them which makes them thicker, I just contacted him less than 5 minutes ago about NOT having the laminate on them to make them thinner and easier to spread out evenly. He will also correct the ommitted gas gauge needle hole and the black rt turn signal indicator. Another change was to eliminate the word EXTENDED that was in red and slightly make the 0 in 105 thinner too. A few more weeks until they are ready. I have also sent in my money to become a vendor!

I just talked to the printer and he can see that he left out the hole on the gas gauge and he DOES have the proper placement of them....thanks for the pic....makes me sad that I removed my dash way back in 1990....I am sure the original dash gauges weigh less than my Auto Meter stuff, and now they look a bunch better too!
