Can it get much worse for the sportsman racer ?

.......POP.....The sound of another Golden Parachute deploying.
Any new fee "enhancements" announced yet?

It's unlikely anything will change.

I'm sure he'll get a hefty retirement from the "non-profit" association...

NHRA hasn't been the same since Wally died. Just my humble opinion.

NHRA is not the only Association I am a member of that appears to be more focused on monetizing their initial mission and taking care of those at the top, and less on their original intent and taking care of the membership as they should be.

Seems to be the way business is done these days, especially with that much money involved. Frustrating.

Gardner poisoned the well. He was part of the OMS collapse, and brought in Compton too if memory serves me. Looks like he's gonna suck the remaining life out of it now.
