Sad Nhra has forgot about a lot of the things that got them where there at

The Nhra circus doesn’t need clowns, seems it has its own upstairs

It's not a secret that the nhra executives are doing everything they can to protect their fat salaries while slowly sucking the life out of this organization.

Graham Light would have done nothing to protect Gittings job. Light oversaw some of the most egregious changes to the sport over the last 20 years, before retiring. And the amount of money this group has squandered over the years is mind boggling.

You can tell a lot about the management of any company or organization simply by how they treat their employees. This is a pretty sad commentary and makes you wonder about how they feel about racers, particularly if they aren’t perceived as contributing to the bottom line.

I could tell a lot about the management at NHRA when they terminated Bill Floyd. I observed Bill during my many years running NHRA and he was a TRUE friend of every racer. I know everyone in D 3 misses Bill very much...

True MJ. I'd just like to add that he is missed throughout NHRA, as well as particularly D3.

Unbelievable..so the history of the Nhra starter Is canned on a phone call and replaced by some truck drivers?
I think Wally Parks is rolling over. Mayb Nhra suits should take a field trip one day to the Nhra museum

And yet, people still attend NHRA races. Nothing will change until the participants quit giving them money and chase the Wally!
