Another failure to lead - John Asher editorial

Julie is obviously much more knowledgeable, experienced, and prettier than I am. She noted the issue of difference is primarily that any profits by a "not for profit" can be used for their stated organizational objective. In other words the profits can and should be used for motorsports safety (or something to that effect) and can not be used for things like supporting the second amendment or abortion which are unrelated to NHRA's mission.

John and Jon, respectfully, this is contrary to your statements "They're free to run their businesses any way they deem necessary" , and "or virtually anything else".

What got us to this point is my interpretation of the article that NHRA should be doing more, like the "for profit" organizations. NHRA is unable to donate a million dollars to an anti Coronavirus activity, but Walmart can. Therefore, my comment that one can not compare them.

BTW, I never worked for a "not for profit". I retired from a Fortune 500 company.

Best regards,
