NHRA Please Read

[CFM]

Sources (current & recently released employees of NHRA) have informed me that NHRA is in a terrible CASH FLOW CRUNCH.


OH Bruton, got a minute.....

Good post girl! But as I stated in another post, they will not allow their bloated egos to listen to any of the "common folk". Jim

Sally: you touched on one very important subject. " It's their Ballgame." ( It's their Ballpark, It's their rules, it's their Bat, it's their Ball, it's their Refs, and it's their Prices.) No one is holding a gun to anybodies head to go race NHRA. ( Except maybe in South Carolina.) If you don't want to race with NHRA ... DON'T. Plain and simple. Race IHRA, race local Brackets, don't race at all, go fishing, but for God's sake, EVERYONE, quit bitching about it. This is still America, and we still do have the right to choose. I will choose to race,( maybe not as often), Wherever, whenever, I want to, and my budget will allow. JB

I can't believe that they eliminated Dale's position. Is he still with NHRA? such a great person. Just was him at the Houston nat's. guess I should quit working for NHRA now, but they just gave me a pay raise, only b/c minimum wage went up.

Jim, I guess a lot of us don't want to see the management of NHRA run it into the ground. They are making decisions based on short term greed and keeping their lifestyles the same without regard for what's in the long term interests of the organization. For myself I will not run any National events this year because of their actions.

Greg: Isn't it interresting to see other persons views, and how they vary.(Especially, self employed business owners vs. employees). My point is plain and simple; you CAN do something about it...Don't support it. Don't go. But, don't persecute the people that do. It's their right. This is America. Secondly, you think this is something "NEW"? In 1982 I was on Ken Veney's Alky funny car crew. We won the Gatornationals, Ken's last National Event win as a driver. Wally Park's himself, walked into our pits to congratulate Ken. Ken said, something along the lines of....Wally, In 1975 I won such and such a National event, I won $25,000.00 plus contengences. It's 8 years later and I get $10,000.00 and much less in contengencies. What's up with that? .....Wally Park's answer --- God as my witness --- "I know, I don't know how you guys do it." - Somethings never change. JB

Just thought I would see if the event at Atlanta is filled. In the heart of "Southern Drag Racing" according to NHRA Competition, not one of the fields has a full field. Some are only 50% and 70% filled. This is Tuesday lunch time and the event begins in two days.
