Today tho there are only a few competitors in funny car---force and shoe owning half the field--and probably the Oakly sunglass sponsership started the move back toward something to look at--these guys sponser deals are so big that the sponsers are begging to get in and have to take what the racer offers them--then look at some of the individuals without a major sponser--they have plain carbon fiber bodies with basicly just there names waiting for the big $$$$$to come along
