The state of NHRA
 
I just read on a friend's Facebook page that the facility/operations manager (not Don Robertson) at Gainesville Raceway is now out of a job. This person responded himself and confirmed this. Another person stated (so don't take this as fact) that NHRA needs to cut around $4 million off of the budget for next year and all full time employees left are taking a cut. No mention was made concerning the board of directors.

Maybe NHRA is now feeling the real economic conditions the rest of us have been feeling.




Hey Dan Moore, you're #1. :D

RIP Mark Graham

Maybe they have enhanced some of they're employees right out of jobs.

Why are they cutting anything? "Most economists" know that they need to spend more money, and raise entry fees and ticket prices.

:rolleyes:

Giving up the lavish life in California and moving the whole operation to Indy would save a bundle.

I live in Kalifornia and I can say for sure it is not a lavish life style.

Tony: I think he's referring to the lavish lifestyle that Compton, Gardner, etc are enjoying due to their over-inflated paychecks, not necessarily where they live at. From what I understand, the cost of living is much more expensive in California, so naturally it would be more cost effective for them to move the head office to someplace like Indy.

Just for kicks I did a search for the most affordable places to live so they would know where to move. Not sure how old the list are but here it is anyway.

Top 5 Most AffordableCities
Minot, N.D. (I am sure this has changed they are next to a oil boom and lost 4000 homes to flooding about 1/4 of the city)
Killen, Texas
Arlington, Texas
Grayling, Mich.
Topeka, Kan. (probably best for NHRA pretty centrally located)

The Least Affordable Cities
New York, NY
San Francisco,CA
San Diego,CA
Los Angeles,CA
Boston,MA
