Several years ago Tom Compton stood up at a meeting with Sportsman racers and said he knew that nhra had not been treating the Sportsman racers very well. He said that things were going to change. Now, why has nhra been treating the Sportsman racers so poorly? Tom admits they have not treated us well and yet nothing has changed. Apparently empty words coming from a man who is running on empty. Aside from the personal tragedy of a man's career running of the tracks. Why should we care is a more important question. And I do empathize with his personal problems but he's presented himself to us as an unsympathetic man.
