Ya know Don, there's a few of things that I can agree with here BUT, at some point in time, I wish that someone would clarify the definitions of a couple of things for me;
"NHRA as a business";
being a card-carrying (and paying) member of the NHRA AND an active Racer;
Am I a business associate? I'm obviously physically and financially involved in the "business" by being actively involved in the show.
Am I an investor? I'm obviously financially (as are you) "invested" in guaranteeing NHRA's ability to put on a show which whether NHRA believes it or not, we are a part of.
Am I a private contractor? After my initial investment to be "involved" in the production of the show am I not repatriated/paid for being "involved" in the show?
Am I a sponsor? By having an NHRA decal and other NHRA inspired "signage" on my car not only for the show that I'm putting on but 24/7, am I not publicizing the NHRA business model?
Where I'm really going with all of this B.S. is, you're really not referring to me or any other Racers on here as "customers" are you?
