[Alan Roehrich]

I wish the man no personal ill or tragedy. For the human part of his plight, I consider him to be just that, a human, and hope that his personal life improves.

However, I'd like to see him and his ilk gone from NHRA, and yesterday would not be soon enough.

As far as the apathy of sportsman racers to the lack of his presence in the day to day operations of NHRA, it seems to me that most sportsman racers have resigned themselves to the way NHRA is treating them, and it makes no difference whose face is put on that. First and foremost, they want more than anything to race, and they wish NHRA would treat them the way they should be treated. So, they race, and they make the best of the situation as it stands. I can't really see where it should matter whose face NHRA puts on it.
