If they found that article off of FB than that article stated:
If NHRA was to file for bankruptcy, such n such would happen.

IF being the main word.

Out of Curiosity, how does a nonprofit file for bankruptcy? Wouldn't they just close.

They would have to liquidate all of their holdings and pay outstanding debts. The rest of the monies would be distributed among the shareholders (members).
The only outstanding debts that I could think of would be the B.O.D.s salaries, property taxes and insurance. If the NHRA isn't racing then why hasn't the B.O.D. taken voluntary lay-offs along with pay reductions?

Putting out a fuzzy statement can be a precursor of things to come. And NHRA was/is still interested in buying Maple Grove. Without a sanctioning body, Stock Eliminator has a new mystique when all the cars line up on a back road and race. Can a wheelstanding SE car still wheelie on a low/no prep crowned asphalt road? Will 2021 be the new 1950's-60's?

Excess funds would not go to members. Per by-laws and state law the funds would have to go to another tax-exempt organization.

Bankruptcy isn’t always liquidation/closure. There are reorganizational bankruptcies, which allow an organization to restructure debt under bankruptcy protection.

Does NHRA actually pay any property taxes?
