I can understand why NHRA members are upset, but $210.00 is not going to make me stop racing. I know I am in the minority, but I do not know what NHRA's financial position is and do not know what it takes to run an origination of this size.
The economy is not doing well, but racing is not a god giving right. It is a luxury and not everyone can do it. If the NHRA members feel such contempt for Tom Compton and they way NHRA is run, why do they support it? I would not support something I felt was unfair to me. To say you pay money and have a right to complain is fine, but if things do not change, why do you continue to support them? Many have said NHRA has been screwing us for years, if this is so why are you still a member.
Alan, comparing the US government to NHRA is way off base. We all are forced to pay taxes, no one is forcing you to go NHRA Drag Racing. Some of you have some great ideas. You all should get together and try to run your own sanctioning body. If you can deliver everything you want NHRA to deliver, you will have the most successful drag racing organization ever.

I have to pay for a NHRA membership and number so that I can earn track points at the national opener at mission, no membership no race, no race no points, no points I may not win the track championship,no track championship no gold card for the next year, no gold card means I Have to lay out alot of cash to race. NHRA has us bent over a barrel by making us become members to race for our own track point's.
