Re: Whose interests does NHRA represent?
It's nothing personal, it's just business.
A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more money than a hundred men with guns. The NHRA is a successful operation. You hire the best law firm and accountants that money can buy. Capitalism at its finest. |

Re: Whose interests does NHRA represent?
I'm wondering why PRO doesn't complain more, or squeeze more purse money out of the NHRA cash cow...as it looks to be. They race for chump change relatively speaking, and they have the clout that Sportsmen will never have. They certainly have access to the tax return figures, yet they seem content for their purse structure...or not.
It would seem that Schumacher, Bernstein, et al would be all over the amount of cash that NHRA execs were packing away (shouldn't the Headquarters be in Bell, CA?) Just seems..... |

Re: Whose interests does NHRA represent?
Randall, when I saw on the news, the other night, the story coming out of Bell, CA my first thought was NHRA and how similar the stories could be.

Re: Whose interests does NHRA represent?
nhra is a not for profit organization but it is very interesting to learn that most people think it is a for profit business.
