Giving up the lavish life in California and moving the whole operation to Indy would save a bundle.

I live in Kalifornia and I can say for sure it is not a lavish life style.

Tony: I think he's referring to the lavish lifestyle that Compton, Gardner, etc are enjoying due to their over-inflated paychecks, not necessarily where they live at. From what I understand, the cost of living is much more expensive in California, so naturally it would be more cost effective for them to move the head office to someplace like Indy.

Just for kicks I did a search for the most affordable places to live so they would know where to move. Not sure how old the list are but here it is anyway.

Top 5 Most AffordableCities
Minot, N.D. (I am sure this has changed they are next to a oil boom and lost 4000 homes to flooding about 1/4 of the city)
Killen, Texas
Arlington, Texas
Grayling, Mich.
Topeka, Kan. (probably best for NHRA pretty centrally located)

The Least Affordable Cities
New York, NY
San Francisco,CA
San Diego,CA
Los Angeles,CA
Boston,MA

NEWS FLASH: Anyone still having a full time job at NHRA the first of the year will be taking a 10% pay cut. This is not hearsay...it came from an NHRA employee who hopes they are not on the hatchet list.

So Compton takes a $71K cut in pay.He's still getting 10 times what he should be paid for running NHRA.Put people on the board who will do the job for way less than the current bunch of prima donas and lawyer types.

This is from Jeff Burks article in Drag racing on line. One NHRA executive asked me privately why my readers and the racers were interested in their tax return and did I think it was any of their business? I replied, “When you force competitors and team members to join the NHRA and they send the sanctioning body around $4,000,000 at year with no control over what is done with that money, I think they have a right to know where their dues are being spent.” CR
