Al Anabi exit from NHRA

It didn't seem to make much sense.
They were throwing big dollars at four Pro classes and enjoying a good deal of success.........why would they simply pull the plug ?
You don't just kick the nitro thing cold turkey and going fast and faster is a life long thing.
I was baffled until this came to light.
Apparently , they are re-focusing their efforts on racing nearer to their homes in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar and looking to focus on home grown equipment to try and grow those brands.
While I do not see this brand of racing gaining world wide acceptance , I sure think it would be a hoot to watch .
