I thought NHRA was a non-profit organization!

Outrageous salaries for incompetent management does not qualify as "profit".

Boy, am I proud that I rejoined NHRA last year.

Tax and spend. But, remember to be grateful for what they do for the sportsman racer because "It should be noted that these fees, even as increased, do not cover the costs for sportsman programs. NHRA will continue to subsidize costs to provide these programs."

Remember at a Nationals they have a "show" They can fill the stands. They can fill the pits with more .90 cars. It is the Points meets they run purely on car counts of paying PARTICIPANTS. Dont attend one of those in Mass and they would feel it. .90 cars should respect any boycott also as their entry is the same.

Dick,you would be putting more of a hurt on the individual tracks than the organization.Just my take on it.

I though Herb Jr (or someone else with track management history) commented on this once previous that the ones that suffer from low car counts at points meets are the tracks themselves. That was the reason given why some tracks no longer host divisional events.

thanks Good info. about the Tracks suffering the most. They unfortunately would be collateral damage.
What good would it do to Boycott a nationals? Show is there, Time to kill would be filled with T-Shirt shooters. Less cost of tech. more Room to park spectators. I dont see a real option that would get attention.

That's true, that the NHRA fee comes off the top , and anything left goes to the track.
