Nhra = board

NHRA equals FIVE people. This group is only answerable to themselves. At this point the only way to get rid of them is if they vote one of their fellow members off the board, resigns, or takes the Wally route and dies.
The only thing they care about is keeping the gravy train they are riding going. Tom Compton making $700,000 a year,maybe acceptable. Dallas Gardner making $300,000 plus a year for a 1 hour work week, unacceptable. These carpetbaggers have tried to sell NHRA once to the HDP and the deal fell apart. They would try again to cash out again if they could figure out how to do it. How long before Gainesville, Atlanta, Indy, or the Museum are on the market. Maybe they are already mortgaged to the hilt and there isn't any equity left in them explaining the drastic measure of doubling the fees.
I think writing letters is a waste of time. They have probably have laid off the worker that would open them and they will just sit in a mail bag. Besides TC is smart enough to know the fallout that is occurring anyway. He doesn't care. For all we know NHRA could be collapsing around him and the Gang needs some instant cash.
What to do?

IDEA #1 Contact your California legislators and have them close the loop-hole in the legislation that permits Not For Profits Corporations to get away with this. Make NHRA accountable to it's membership. Point out that is might even be a revenue source for the state.

IDEA #2 Pat Jefferion needs to get with fellow track owners, both NHRA, IHRA, and Independent, and start a new association for the sanctioning of Drag Racing. One dedicated to drag racing not to a bunch of Pros running NITRO.

IDEA #3 Boycott NHRA owned tracks until the gang of five resigns or gives drag racers and track owners a legitimate power base to promote drag racing, both now and in the future.

I hate to say it but Rich Christionson has done more to promote grassroots drag racing that this Gang has. Their idea of a new idea is to change marketing firms.
