Jack,

You need to talk to a lawyer in addition to the police. NHRA remembers the pro stock law suit!

Woodro Josey · 11-14-2008, 05:09 PM

Jack, these guys are telling you right. Call the Sheriffs office and tell them you need an officer to come out and file a report. Could be your parts may show up or somebody's *** will be in a sling. But, i kinda agree with some here, Gainesville has the best Garbage service at the track and they aren't that good! Jack, maybe your looking in the wrong direction!

Amen! Mike sent me to pick up his water bottles one day at Columbus. I know their is a big diff between bottles and engines, but I received the same treatment. I was so mad I was seeing stars. The only thing NHRA is concerned about is the money they receive.

Hi Jack,

It looks like the "Kara" that you spoke to is an expert on sales, marketing and hospitality.

Looks like she is doing a fine job.

This is what I found on the Pomona website:

Maybe, if we all emailed Kara about this situation she would step in or put someone in charge to help out with Jacks situation. I know I did. Here's my email( I hope it is correct)

Kara, One of our devoted racers is having a issue at the Pamona race with parts from his car that appears was removed by the cleanup crew and NOBODY wants to help him get to the bottom of the issue and get his parts back. Is this really the way NHRA wants to be reconized as , when all he's been getting is the run around from everyone( track people, NHra people, etc...) Someone needs to step in and help a racer out, this is a very bad mark on NHRA.

Hi Jack,

The New NHRA guy in charge of security is Rob Johnson. (Ex LA cop) His father was a drag racer, Wes Johnson and ran in super street and super gas. A lot of the super gas / super street guys know him.
They did a story on Rob a few months back in the National Dragster.
Maybe he can help.

Jack Matyas · 11-14-2008, 10:28 PM
