I would love to know the answer to that myself!

In 1987 when NHRA was granted their 501c6 they said they had 4 classes of members. A lot of organizations have different classes of members some with voting rights and some without. It makes sense to me to have people who participate in divisional and national races to be the ones who vote for a board. No other member would be as affected by things done by the organization as people who participate in these races. I don't think people that don't race or only bracket race would have the interest that divisonal and national racers would have. The bracket racers would be represented by their track owners and the track owners could speak for their racers. People that don't race at all shouldn't have a voice in how the organization is run. I'm not talking about taking a vote on day to day issues. This mebership model is how the SCCA is run with the voting members voting for a board of directors. The board would set a broad policy of how the organization should be run and hire a professional to run it.

I think this would be a helluva lot better than what we now have.
