If your racing gets to the point where you feel you are being taken advantage of by the sanctioning body or to the point where you feel you can no longer afford to race, then it's pretty simple, you need to pull the plug on your racing operation.

I know for a fact that the top management at NHRA has a genuine concern for all racers who race at NHRA tracks and will do their best to make sure we have a place to race for a long time . as in many business decisions, business make, not all of them can please all of their customers but NHRA still has the concern for their customer , from the very top to the very bottom of NHRA employees.

I was racing at the national event at vegas and it was a very well ran race and i saw all of the top management working hard in bad concitions so we could race, not many top management would do this but NHRA people did.

One thing I have learned is not to worry about situations that i can't control ever it is useless worry

Kenny,NHRA is a NON PROFIT,one stipulation according to the Wikipedia site is that the top people
do not make excessive salaries.From the info posted they are payed way too much according to the guidelines.
Wanna call it a class war?Call it what you want.These guys are slowly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Please Dave spell my name right,you left out the second N.

Ed
From Wikipedia:
A primary difference between a nonprofit and a for-profit corporation is that a nonprofit does not issue stock or pay dividends, (for example, The Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia includes the Non-Stock Corporation Act that is used to incorporate nonprofit entities) and may not enrich its directors. However, like for-profit corporations, nonprofits may still have employees and can compensate their directors within reasonable bound.

Ed, I'm a Bosox fan.

Don,any way of substanciating what you say about the suits making sacrifices?I'm sure all us malcontents would like to see it in black and white,not gray like the rule book.

Kenny,Englishtown is probably the only time you'll see me this year.

Ed F. You should try your refresh button. I corrected the spelling 6 minutes before you posted !

Ed, who decides what is excessive. Ed, you and me are friends and this is not personal. I just think that some members do not know all the facts. If you are right, I will be the first to say I was wrong. But I think we need less anger and nastiness and more respect.

I made the mistake of taking litteraly the comments about everything being doubled. They aren't. Should have taken time to read it all. I'm old and slow, and I'm from Oklahoma. Please forgive me. After reading it, I can't see a problem absorbing the difference. I'll re-up when the time comes and keep running both associations as long as I can keep doing it. I don't really have a preference between the two. I like them both. It appears Div 4 lost a couple of very good tech men. I really hate that.

Ed;

Call them and ask them

Re: NHRA Please Read
 

After reading this thread,I'm wondering if the true non profit status of NHRA , should be questioned ? It must have a board of directors or trustees and who or how are they elected. The employees of NHRA must have to answer to them. If NHRA was set up as a board only non profit , then these people call the shots. Shoudn't we know how this works ,if we all are members of this non profit. I doubt if this was set up so that the members have a say, which would have been nice since this is suppose to be for the racers! I just think we should know more about how this is run before we can understand what is happening. It is a disgrace that we pay to be members,to have comp#,to cert. our cars and pay to race and have absolutely NO say in what this NON-PROFIT(which was formed for our benefit) does. thanks Bob
