While I did not get a chance to meet Mr. Clifford at PRI, I did speak with a couple of NHRA officials. "Oh yeah, we got your e-mail. You made a lot of good points."

.... and? Nothing. That's it. At least they acknowledged receipt this time.


I thought the interview was pretty telling when Clifford said he'd had ideas to improve NHRA for 18 years. And they're just NOW seeing light of day? That's life within a corporate behemoth. I heard much the same from another NHRA official. People within the organization that could actually make a difference have their hands tied.
