Dan - might you recall when this occurred?

Early 1980s.

Back when that vote was sent out none of us ever dreamed that NHRA would ever become what it has or that the sport would develop as it has. Sure wish I had the opportunity to do that vote over. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

But we can all bet that most of the people at NHRA who were responsible for that had the current level of control they have in mind.

The only person that I could imagine being there at "that point in time" would be Dallas Gardner.

Kinda sad really...
Not what NHRA was created for, for sure.
Like all things, the money corrupted it...
