NHRA Please Read

Jim, I guess a lot of us don't want to see the management of NHRA run it into the ground. They are making decisions based on short term greed and keeping their lifestyles the same without regard for what's in the long term interests of the organization. For myself I will not run any National events this year because of their actions.

Sure looks like a thread that could have started a week ago though doesn't it? The same complaints for 11 years. Unfortunately I don't have answers for either side.

Greg: Isn't it interresting to see other persons views, and how they vary.(Especially, self employed business owners vs. employees). My point is plain and simple; you CAN do something about it...Don't support it. Don't go. But, don't persecute the people that do. It's their right. This is America. Secondly, you think this is something "NEW"? In 1982 I was on Ken Veney's Alky funny car crew. We won the Gatornationals, Ken's last National Event win as a driver. Wally Park's himself, walked into our pits to congratulate Ken. Ken said, something along the lines of....Wally, In 1975 I won such and such a National event, I won $25,000.00 plus contengences. It's 8 years later and I get $10,000.00 and much less in contengencies. What's up with that? .....Wally Park's answer --- God as my witness --- "I know, I don't know how you guys do it." - Somethings never change. JB

No one here is persecuting anyone Jim. There may be a few no name individuals (AKA idiots) saying some stupid things and making personal attacks that no one else listens to, but no one here is persecuting anyone for doing what they want.
