Pat got 99% of what we get......nothing, the only answer I ever got out of Glendora was from Pat in Tech. Very few get answers, they dont have time to answer letters. There to busy filling their Golden Parachutes.

Every time I have had a question or concern it has been addressed by Graham Light , Peter Clifford or Tom Compton in a very professional way .

then why would they ignore one of their brightest, most profitable, most well respected track owners?

What needs to happen is for the members to get their voting rights back. The members could then elect a board that could hire the CEO and other top management people and set their salaries. I think a board should be made up of sportsman racers, pro racers, track owners, and maybe sponsors. They should fill a term of two years with a maximum of three terms. Elections could happen every two years along with a convention for the members in a nice part of the country. The organization should be run for the benefit of its members. I think track owners, sponsors, and people who hold a competition liscense and race three or four times a year should be eligible to vote.

According to the 2009 tax returns $4.4 million was collected in membership "dues". At an average of $60, this equates to over 73,000 members. Track owners, sponsors and racers maybe comprise 10% of that? So, if the organization is to be run for the "benefit of its members" then how is it equitable to exclude the largest block of people from voting?

Mr. Joffrion---Excellent well written letter to the NHRA mgmt. I find it inconceivable that they would not give you the courtesy of a reply even if was only "we got your letter ,will look at it, get back to you soon". But on the other hand I'm not surprised I think they have lots of things to maybe worry about NOW but not so in 2008,least of all a letter from "another disgruntled racer/track owner,whatever" about how the NHRA is being run. They could/should have at least sent a form letter acknowledging receipt of you letter--Well when the IRS agent/agents show up to look at the "books" you can bet there is gonna be a lotta *** kissing going on there--Comp

Be careful of the toes you step on today because they may be connected to the *** you have to kiss tomorrow. A pretty good policy to adopt in my opine.
