I know this crap has been said before, but this time it is for real.

Also as usual no one provides any proof........

true this time...Powerade series and NHRA tracks sold, NHRA stays as a 501c non-profit as owner of non-professional series, ND mag, operator of events, etc.

see press release at:

http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release...ease_id=259432

I'm told sportsman will stay in the mix...only time will tell...

I wonder when NHRA will make an announcement on their website????

Tom P · 05-30-2007, 06:18 PM

Yep it's true, i saw the NHRA officials email sent to Dave Wallace.

A hundred million in cash, who actually owned NHRA anyways?

Jack McCarthy · 05-30-2007, 06:39 PM

Sounds like the time to move. Who is willing to offer up for the non-professional side? Odds are that the remaining NHRA will do what it has to (slice, whack, bastardize, modify) the existing format to be "more profitable" even though they are a non-profit. We are in for more rude treatment as they work to "enhance" non-professional racing.

It's already up, about three different pages worth.

Now we get to see if the company that bought the pro side takes a dump on us. I'm betting we get to BOHICA.[:-veryangry-:]

Bring "AA" classes to NHRA Stock Eliminator!

Well...

There are more questions than answers, but from reading the release...

NHRA Pro Racing will make the call on future sportsman participation at the Power Aid events

The money received by NHRA wasn't that much

HD Partners was chosen over what other investment partners???

Wally Parks said the Power Aid series could now grow unhindered? (Huh?)

I dunno...
