Why in the world wouldn't NHRA send some of the overpaid Board Members to Minnesota and have a "meeting" with the top brass of the MN-DOT and Highway Patrol.

Doesn't NHRA realize it won't be that hard to chase off a lot of safe vehicles that may or may not be classified as commercial vehicles, depending on who is looking at it.

I have no problem with being legal but let's look at economics for the area first and foremost. Who tows a $40K race car in a $25K trailer with a $75K motor home and doesn't pay attention to safety? Can the Brainerd area do without this event and not feel the "pinch" if a lot of racers stay home.

With the weak turnout for the Seattle event a couple weeks ago, they must have been checking tow vehicles out there too??

This is EXACTLY WHERE the NHRA membership money should go. Not into the Board and management salaries but rather, into communication to allow the NHRA members to get to a race. North Carolina finally got laws passed to exempt most sportsman racer's tow rigs.

C'mon NHRA, we know you read this Forum, how about an answer (errrr, I mean an excuse), while you are mainly concerned with the arrival time of your jet and your Escalade rental SUV to get to the event.

Sick of it,

Jok Nicholson
