Atlanta dragway

[Greg Hill]

The difference between nhra and a true non profit, be it a charity or a non profit business, is that management should have the best interests of the organization as the main goal. The nhra is desperately trying to keep the fuel circus alive so management can continue to draw big salaries from the organization. Nhra should of moved from California to Indy 10 years ago. They have cut expenses at the level that affects sportsman racers much more than they have at the top. You could hire a top notch president in Indy for 200k. The management is living their nice SoCal lifestyle when almost all of their members and customers are east of the Rocky Mountains.

A true non profit business should be transparent to their members. When times are tough they should talk to their members and customers and do the things that would generate more support. Instead they are secretive and condescending. I would tell you that over the years nhra management has done tremendous harm to the organization. Think back. Eliminating Modified eliminator, pro stock truck, cutting the tech staff until there are not enough folks to work a National event or even a points race. My buddy Jim Schacter is right, they have no plan to make drag racing better, or increase participation or just make members and participants happy. They are sucking the *** of the fuel show until it gives out.
