Ritch Bowers D3 Tech Director retiring
 

I have been asked by Ritch Bowers to post this on Classracer.

NHRA Class Racers,

With a little tear in my eye I want to inform everyone that my last day working full-time for NHRA will be December 23. Over the past 20 years I can say there is not another place I would have rather worked. My Wife Deb tells everyone I don’t go to work, I go to play. I want to thank everyone for your friendship and support and I hope to see some of you at the races in 2016. I hope that through my years of work at NHRA I have helped promote, elevate and improve the safety of NHRA Drag Racing. I feel like I have been fair to all racers that I have dealt with. Drag racers are a great bunch of people. Some of you have been almost like family as much as I have seen you during race season. For tech questions call the Indy NHRA tech department at (844) HOT-ROD1.

As I had said each week in my Tuesday Tech Question to the NHRA Tech Inspectors for the past 8 years.

Yours for a bigger, better and safer motorsport.

Ritch Bowers
NHRA Division 3 Tech Director

Good Luck Ritch. Hope you enjoy retirement. It will be a hard "habit" to break being involved as you have with the greatest motorsport we have.
I have enjoyed working with you.

A real good man that always did more than his job description! I always found him to be fair, firm, and friendly. Never met anyone that did not like Ritch.

Thanks and good luck.

Ritch,
Thank you for your years of service to the Division 3 racers. You have always treated me fairly and with the utmost respect. For that you earned my respect, always a pleasure to deal with you and proud to have raced under your umbrella. Wishing you the best in your retirement and a very Merry Christmas!
