"Regional Tech Director Openings"
 

What's up with this??

"Regional Tech Director Openings available"? Doesn't seem likely that NHRA would be adding more salaries to the bottom line without reducing some positions first. Looks like more cut backs on the Divisional level. Bracket Racing 6.0 is getting closer?

Wonder if National Records will soon be just a memory?

Check out "Competion" and "Latest Updates" More enhancements are sure to follow. It will be interesting to see what will happen to the Divisional Tech Directors position.

RJ, I don't think this is new. I had heard what NHRA wants to do for the points races is have the three directors work out of Indy, and travel to the points races. Logic would indicate some of the tech directors in each division would disappear. I am not 100% on that. I could have been having a beverage when I thought I heard that.

Hard to figure out what they are doing, have you talked to anybody about anyone losing their position??

Hope for the sake of the Tech people involved that they get it worked out. Would hate to see anyone let go. They might not be perfect all the time, but most do their job well.

Have one for me buddy. See you soon.

Actually, having a centralized tech staff to service national level races and to operate as a unified and consistent source of authority would not be a bad idea. It would be difficult and expensive to service the divisional races and racers solely with the same staff though. When the current system of divisions and divisional tech directors was implemented, transportation and communications were not as easily accomodated as today. Of course there were only a couple of national races to staff and the divisional tech directors essentially operated out of the CA offices for authority and directive (i.e. Farmer Dismuke). In the past 25 years that system of authority has been diluted and become less effective. A strong, active centrallized tech office that can better address the wide-reaching demands of the sport could be a real benefit. I hope they ease their way into any change and are wise in staff selection.


I noted their position description included the word "regional" and not just divisional.

Billy, what is the home address for you that I need to put on your application?

Not campaigning, just looking at it from a business structure standpoint. The whole corporate offices would have served well to have moved to Indianapolis or somewhere in the midwest years ago. At least get them out of CA where the cultural environment taints the way you would look at what the majority of the racing community lives like.

I'll second Billy's nomination. It would be hard to find someone more knowledgeable.
