A number of years ago, then NHRA President Compton was in discussions with someone about splitting the NHRA Sportsmen away from the pros. I guess that the idea was to turn the pro part of the program into a "for profit" business and keep the Sportsmen as "not-for-profit".
Can anyone out there shed any more light on this? How close did this come to being a reality? Do you think that we (the NHRA Sportsmen) would have been any better or worse off had this come about?

I'm just asking questions here.
