Bobby, I just heard from him this evening. I hate we are losing him.

Really nice person. Walked thru staging lane and greeted every racer

Like Dale Ham used to. Nothing like our last one, who I never met. Think I saw him in the tower once. A guy that resembled the picture of the Director I had seen, anyway.

NHRA has posted for the position...

I nominate Wesley

that is a good person for the job chad i like that.

I like the idea of Wesley as well, although I find it extremely unlikely. In my opinion, I think Dale House would be an equivalent of the same director that we had previously.

I would think this time, that they go with a fairly young person (35-40) that can mature and be in the position for years to come. I would love for Olan Gotcher to be the director, but I think age is a factor in that decision.

A name some of you may know, Nick Duty, grandson of Larry Croft, is probably going to be in the running. He has a marketing degree and turned around Northstar Dragway. Also, Larry and Nick were headed to Thunder Valley this year to turn around that place as well. Nick would bring a fresh new look to the scene and bring some fun back to the races.

Just my opinions.

"... a background in racing operations a plus"

REALLY why isnt that required ??? ... yea it would be a plus if i was hiring.

good luck division 4 with your new director, he has a degree in sports admin, and has been working for the local single A baseball team promoting, marketing and managing the team... by the way he has never been to a drag strip... but he is in charge.

REALLY ???
