Nhra national technical director

Glenn Briglio · 10-20-2021, 12:36 PM

Who is the Nhra national technical director? I emailed Lonnie Grim because I was told he was the man. He emailed me back and said he will call me. Haven't gotten a call from him. So I called Nhra in california and asked to speak to Lonnie Grim. They didn't know who he was. I said isn't he the national technical director. They said no he isn't and they didn't have anyone by that name that works there! So anybody know what's going on at Nhra??????

Lonnie was present and conducting business as usual in Bristol this past weekend.

Glenn, that just shows that the NHRA doesn't even know who their own employees are!

This is laughable.

You sure you didn't call IHRA? Lol

Is anyone here really surprised by this?

MR DERBY CITY · 10-20-2021, 08:39 PM

Lonnie lives in Arkansas. I am sure he is based there. Not surprised that the person on the phone from NHRA has not heard of him. Said person probably thinks that Danny Garcia is still the National tech director.

Danny does still work in division 7 but he isn't calling the shots. Just a nice guy working for NHRA still.
