NHRA Leadership question
 

Many of you have stated and we all know that the leadership of NHRA lack the "history" of racing or even being members or workers from within. Who would you like to see lead NHRA and why or why not?

Don Garlits
Don Prudome
Shirley Muldowney
Dick Lahaie
Dale Armstrong
Austin Coil
Bob Glidden

These are retired or not in a permanent position within the racing community now.

What are your thoughts on this cold winter night?

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

All but Glidden are "Fuel Queer's" so nothing would change. If you want change then you need some sportsman people involved. Not all X Pro people.

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

Ricky Smith or Jeggie. Both have run sportsman classes and Jeggie still does now....

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

I'm not sure I believe a racer is the best person to run NHRA.

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

I could think of several folks with a racing background that are very good business people that could lead nhra. Several of them could include The Teutons Jeff and Joe, Dave Wertman, Larry Hill, Mike Beard, Pat Jeffrion, Carl Weisinger, and the list goes on. Could be several people with a knowledge and business and should include both. We have seen what suits that are bean counters only have done. We need people that know and love the sport as it was, not what in has become.

I vote for Pat Joffrion, make Wesley tech director

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

My vote would be for:

CEO:Bill Bader
Head of Racing Operations:Larry Morgan
National Tech Director:Billy Nees

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

I'll go with Pat and Wesley also.

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

Anybody that races could not be a leader. Every decision would be second guessed as slanted towards something to benefit friends / family or self.

Re: NHRA Leadership question
 

Agreed, with Lynwood Dupuy as race control.

Greg

by the way: did ya'll know that Pat and Lynwood are CPAs.
