So...................
 

Two of our elected representatives to the SRAC resigned (I don't blame them, either). Anyone ever hear anything about NHRA even trying to find "replacements"?

Alan,
Doubt that NHRA is very interested in finding replacements for them. That is probably one of those things way down on someone's to do list. NHRA has bigger problems. Like how to squeeze the dollar on everything to keep the payroll going. Sign of the times, along with the hole they dug themselves with the trip to the HD Partners world. They spent alot of money trying to look good and make that deal a success. When the chips fell there was no one but NHRA to pick up the cost. They might have spent a little more than they should have. You know, some bean counter looking ahead at future cash flow, that hasn't materialized yet. Then they got their pocketbook washed at the Water Nationals. I would play the odds on them concentrating on only the most profitable programs/issues. Why else would they up the entries, shut down the 2 guys doing the AHFS, I bet that saved them less than $1000 a month, & cut Divisional payrolls. I've been told that Now they have taken a few bucks away from the chassis certification guys on each certification. You know the money you spend on chassis certification. Part went to NHRA & part went to the NHRA guy doing the work... He gets less now. At Least it didn't cost us racers more. I Sure hope they can come out of this without putting too many enhancements on my pocketbook. I'd like to see the pro's pitch in instead of getting a ride on my pocketbook.
Just a few of my thoughts. Sorry, just A little venting & exercising one of my rights that our great country was founded on.

Re: So...................
 

Just how much money do you think they would spend replacing those guys?

Re: So...................
 

Well,, it was really a rhetorical question. Something to make some people think. I heard about the AHFS deal too, Adger. That isn't all I heard, either, but I had not heard about the chassis certification.

Re: So...................
 

So does this mean there is no one doing AHSF ? No twice a year adjustments ?

10 cents in "Yang" money !

Re: So...................
 

I heard NHRA threw the job onto 2 guys that work in the Ivory tower in Calif. that know NOTHING about stock or S/S and asked the guys who used to oversee it to help the 2 new guys out. The word is the 2 guys who used to handle the AHFS told NHRA to get F##ked.

X-TECHMAN, Who are the new guys? Who are the old guys, Tom

Re: So...................
 

I dont know the names of the new guys in Calif. and I wont mention the old guys names. Trust me.....It has happened. Its called "Cut Backs" like less pay for the tech crews and 3 less people to run the divisionals.

Terry, I don't think it was all about money and cutting costs. I think it was at least as much about absolute control. Glendora did not have absolute and total control over all of it, especially not the data. They do, now.
