New Division one Director

[Paul Merolla]

Anyone else curious about the high turnover in the DD ranks this year? Coincidence, or no?

I believe its just a matter of circumstance/coincidence.

D1 and D5 were directors with 25+ years of NHRA life, believe they were ready to move on, just happen to be in same timeframe. Although Rob will still be involved in mentoring the new DDs.

D4...sudden firing of previous DD, so Mady was promoted to DD after those events.

D7...Mike Rice was promoted to Sr. Director, basically he will be acting race director of all Nationals Events to drive consistency at those events across the nation. And also relieve some of the DD responsiblities when they have national events in their own division.

Can't wait to see what kind of entertainment they bring in to the divisionals to draw spectators.

Maybe “No Prep” would be a good fit….

My close friend Larry Hill (all five foot twenty inches of him) experienced some NO PREP at the St. Louis double divisional a few weeks ago. Maybe Larry will chime in as I always appreciate his banter on the forum .

D6 DD stepping down as well, no replacement named yet that I'm aware of.
