Jason,

You're probably right on that one. It's still more about $$$ and influence than safety.

I wish it wasn't the case, but in Compton's eyes it's all about the almighty dollar (if you ever have a few hours to kill, ask me sometime what I think about NHRA's status as a not-for-profit organization). Wally was a bit of a genius in that respect for bringing Compton on board, as I'm sure NHRA is making MUCH more money now than any time when Wally was making the day to day decisions. On the downside, we all know how Compton has "enhanced" our NHRA experience...
