Dave,

I missed your post while typing my last post. Len's job performance is a different issue but I would like to ask a couple of questions since it has become part of this theard. I'm sure there is some official response to these questions.

I'm glad you have had a positive relationship with Len. I'm glad he is doing some good things. But he drops the ball on way too many important issues for us. When Len came to work for nhra he made a very strong point during all of his early meetings with us. He said that Tom Compton told him that he knew he had a lot of unhappy customers in the Sportsman ranks and that it was his (Len) job to make things right. Len stood before several group meetings and said that he answered only to Tom Compton and that nothing would change for Sportsman racers unless we voted on it. I told him that we would hold him to those statements and he boastfully said I hope so.

Can you tell the difference between racing now and racing before Len came? Are we happier now? Yea, I know we can always race some where else and I'm doing that but I still have a lot of friends who race nhra as well and I'm going to race with them too.

And why won't Len answer any of the tough questions? Maybe he is between a rock and a hard place, but he can still be honest without coming out here and cherry picking the threads and then adding some nhra spin and heading for cover. I'm out here taking a hammering over this thread because I believe strongly enough in our sport and its traditions to take the pounding, but this guy just hits and runs. Len get your butt back out here and tell us the truth about what has been going on with the ahfs!!!!!

A couple of questions he can answer and won't. Who made all the changes to the ahfs without publishing them first which in turn hurt a lot of unsuspecting racers? And if the changes were improperly made to the ahfs why hasn't nhra corrected the problem by readjusting the illegal adjustments and going back to the ahfs version that we all agreed would be the way we would regulate our performance? I have heard that they are now going to publish a new version of the ahfs - at least we should know what will happen for a few weeks into the new season.

And finally, since he answers only to Tom Compton why didn't he follow the wishes of the majority of the racers and stop this -1.15 under business when it first came up?
