In a separate, regularly scheduled teleconference to which he was hastily added, NHRA president Tom Compton said that the announcement came as "no surprise to NHRA." Compton also said the sanctioning body is in the process of acquiring a new sponsor and has many prospects but is searching for a new title rights sponsor that will meet NHRA's requirements.

E-TOWN FACING MORE NOISE LAWSUITS

As if the Winston deal wasn't enough bad news for drag racing, Agent 1320 has learned that E-Town (Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey) which went through a series of lawsuits over noise in the past is going to have to go back to court.

The Agent has learned that an individual named Feldman, who (according to the Agent's source) was responsible for the original lawsuits, has been documenting the track's violations of the 10:30 p.m. curfew imposed by the judge in the original lawsuit settlement. Rumor has it that the man, who lives in the nearby town of Manapalan, NJ in Monmouth county instead of Old Bridge Township has gotten the case re-opened because of numerous (alleged) documented violations by the track of the curfew.
