Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
All th NHRA management cares about is top fuel and funny car. The whole bunch is incompetent and greedy. They are ruining the organization and are going to walk away with lots of money and nothing left for the rest of us. Everyone should demand change, from the pro's to the sportsmen to the track operators. You can't continue to operate in the manner they are doing and expect results that are good for the organization. The NHRA's first and foremost obligation is to provide a safe place to race.

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
I was watching on ESPN3.com. They made an announcement that the Pro Stockers would be invited back to complete R1 if they wanted to. If not they had two winners from the first two pair and would bring them back to run the final round if necessary. WJ just ripped NHRA, again, on there also.

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
There is a small town local racing radio show. They talk about NASCAR mainly, but even those guys made a comment about how greedy NHRA was in cutting out the 1320 foot track prep for the Prostock cars.
It is really time to fire anyone above Division level at Glendora and start over. New blood with a love for Drag racing and a basic I.Q. test to get a job. These guys in Glendora forgot they are an association!

Re: Seattle - First Round of Pro Stock...
Jim you are right on the money. Close the offices in California and sell the property. Move everything to Indy, build a new building on the property at raceway park. Give the div. offices more responsibility and dramatically downsize the central office. Pay the president around 250k and make the board consists of racers both pro and sportsman, track operators and industry folks. Make the organization accountable to it's members. The present management and board is interested in one thing and one thing only, money. And I don't mean money to make the organization better I mean money for themselves.
