I'm pretty sure IHRA is not a Non Profit organization.

I'm glad all of us recognize the rights of others to speak their mind. It's important.

One point on the subject of who owns what in drag racing. The sanctioning bodies do not own the sport of drag racing. I should add that I have never read/heard anyone say IHRA owns the game.

A couple of brief tests to help determine who owns what. First, would the racers still be heading out to the tracks this weekend if nhra disappeared from the planet today? Answer: Yes. Second test, let's say all the racers decided not to rejoin nhra. Would the racers continue to race and nhra be out of business? Answer: Yes.

nhra depends on us and our goodwill to keep them in business. In other words nhra's existence depends on us and not vice versa. They are here to serve our needs and not the other way around! Somehow we have allowed them to reverse the relationship between the racers and the organization that is here to serve us.
