National event chaos?

[SSGN]

I once worked for a real good general manager that always said " the answers are in this room" ! Every time he looked into solutions or change he held a meeting with workers from each department and listened to there opinions. Yes he was a smart man and made huge profits for this company.
So I believe that the answers are among the sportsman racers. This forum alone is proof of that. I would hope that members would leave and start a Sportsman Association. Leave NHRA and all the pros on there own. I wonder how well they would do and how well the sportsman racers would do?? Just a thought.

This is about math, and economics.

The question is, who do the numbers favor?

Maybe it's Time for a Change ?

X2 Some parallels, for sure, and we have our boots on
The "no tech" shortcut seems short sighted. I have been teched in by card alone, in the rain and at E-town in the morning, but I didn`t expect it. Its ridiculous to cut tech inspection jobs. What is going on? Like Washington politics, this seems more like a part of a scheme, than the step of a plan. We need leadership.

That's where the rigs are parked days before the event starts.
NHRA tells you where to park

Hey, hang on there a minute Sparky! I'm not just a participant here even though NHRA would like to think so. I'm a membership paying, card carrying member who, thanks to their new membership and number policy is paid in through the end of 2018! They've got a couple of years yet to listen to my complaints.
If you don't like the hand you're dealt and you're the only guy in the game that don't like his hand, then get up. However, If everyone at the table don't like his hand, I wouldn't want to be the dealer!

What has happened to NHRA is all to typical of corporate America today. Walley Parks, Henery Ford, Lee Iacocca all had a vision AND experience in their respective industries. Walley raced, Henery actually built his first cars, Lee came up through the ranks and knew the business. Now the board of directors, most of them without experience in the industry whose board they sit on, hire a "bean counting" cost cutting CEO to run a business he/she has no experience in. The business course they took at Harvard was taught by a professor who most likely had no "real" world experience in any type of industry. All they know is theory with no understanding of the "nuts and bolts" they manage.

The one size fits all business plan / mentallity is a sure thing if failure is the desired outcome.
