You would have to have been an idiot or in a coma to approve an amendment like that.If it was for real I can't see it being legitimately being voted for.Sounds like a banana republic election vote to me.
How about we vote on it now.Fat chance.

Ed, if you notice the letter they sent out sounds like it is just a formality that the state of California required. I bet most members didn't even read their copy of the bylaws.

I just wish there was a practical way to make those overpayed idiots in Ca. accountable for justifying their salaries and decision making process.

So how can this be acomplished? A vote isnt allowed. Sound familiar !

Congratulation Greg

I tried to do reseach on this about 10 years ago. Very few knew what I was talking about.

Here is what I think caused the reason for the vote

I think Wally's lawyer pointed out NHRA had a problem. If we only had the internet back then.

Contact Jon Asher at Competionplus. It was either him or Steve Collision (RIP) that had some information.

The above article about the demise of the modified classes cites "Poor Local Following" at the grass roots local tracks. Does this mean that stock and S/S could be next?

Re: Looking for a ballot.
 

Terry, when they killed Modified, I'd bet we had 10 Modified cars showing up at the local track for the Combo races. Some of them were real killers, Cotton Perry and the "Pocket Rocket" were among the regulars.

"Local participation" was just more smoke and mirrors.

A lot of tracks do not even host a weekly show for Stock and Super Stock. We have the semi regular Combo races at Bowling Green, for which we are extremely grateful, but gone are the two Combo races every Saturday night at Union Hill.

Does no one remember voting on this? I was not racing at the time. Let me know.

Re: Looking for a ballot.
 

Greg, I was a crewman at the time. Younger and almost as broke as I am now. Just another kid with a wrench in his hand, and a taste for fun with fast cars. I didn't have to be a member, I was not driving. So that money was spent on gas, fast food, and girls, instead of a membership.

Re: Looking for a ballot.
 

I remember voting on it. I read the ballot and remember being mad about it. I called a friend who was also an NHRA member and his reply was "NHRA is going to do what they want anyway." But I still voted no. Unfortunately there was no class racer forum to get the message out about what was going on at the time, so many racers probably just checked off yes, or threw them in the wastebasket. That is why you may have a hard time finding a copy of a ballot.
