Some time ago, then Pres. Tom Compton tried to "split" the Pros from the Sportsmen in order to make the Pros into a "for profit" business. It would have made the Sportsman NHRA into a smaller but more Sportsman friendly organization. I don't know what ever happened to that but I'm guessing that the B-O-D wasn't going to be happy with the ($$$) outcome.
I agree about the non profit however, it is still all about the money.
Not for the membership or entries would be less and payouts more.
Today it is all about the pro's show and money.
It was just my observations from sportsman racing NHRA since the 1960's.
