NHRA Articles of Incorporation from 1951 and amended version from 2009.

I see in the 1951 filing that officers are to be elected every three years, but by who? Is there any paperwork available that confirms that the right of the members to elect officers every three years was revoked?

Unless the charter gives member voting rights, it would be the board of directors that would elect the officers.

As far as discrimination, the one avenue that maybe viable is the pros get free admission into national events and sportsman have to pay.

Pros don't pay an entry fee like we do but they have to be a "space rental" fee. It's not a free ride.

I was told the pros pay big bucks for their spot rentals and all their support vehicles. Been like that for a while now.

There was a thread about members signing away the right to vote for board members. It happened supposedly way back in the 70's I believe.

Lawsuits are fine and dandy if you have the financial resources AND backing of the membership. Sadly you can't get three racers to agree on any given issue. Everybody has an agenda. The only way to beat them is voting with your feet. No one shows up enough times they get the message. The best scenario would be to drag them down to the point they lose enough money to make them bail out and have someone stepup who has a plan to save the sport. It will take plenty of moolah and determined parties to bring the sport back to any degree of health. I still say we're not in a car culture society us older guys are familiar with. Some change is needed but that's where the agendas step in. Nomex underwear fitted, flame away.
