"NHRA drag racing is poised for a bright future. We are committed to deliver an even more exciting, interactive fan experience on and off the track. We are confident that our future programs and strategic initiatives will reach out and attract new fans, sponsors and racers. Further, I want to emphasize that our grassroots participants and programs will continue to be NHRA's foundation and strength, which distinguishes us from all other sanctioning organizations"
Tom Compton- Nov. 2, 1999

He seems to have changed his mind since then about the "grass roots participants".
"strategic initiatives" read: ENHANCMENTS that make me more money!
