Question Re: Who owns nhra ??????

Good question. Who was going to get the money from the aborted sale a couple of years ago? I bet it was going to go to the "members". Yeah, that's it, The "members" would get the money because NHRA is providing it's "members" with a servicing.... I mean service. Jim

Weren't the proceeds of the sale to go into a "trust fund" to allow future financial support of Sportsman and grass-roots racing?

A trust fund that Tom Compton was surely going to oversee and draw upon as necessary to pay various "bills".

The Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws will state how the assets are distributed upon a dissolution. The assets would either be distributed to another tax exempt organization or to the members. As NHRA is a California corporation, any dissolution plan would have to be approved by the State Attorney General's office.

I normally don't wish anyone ill. But this time I pray the IRS does to them what they have been doing to us for years.

Technically there are no members since no member has any voting rights( according to what I read somewhere else)

We need some sort of an organized group to represent our interests,not only racing related,to keep tabs on the way NHRA is being run.I don't know how well organized the pro side is,but it seems they get hosed as bad as us sometimes.And I'm sure some of the pros have connections to people in high places.These guys in Glendora can give the Mafia and CIA lessons in stealth management.
Maybe it's time to organize a new racers group(I hate calling it a union).

Ed I think that's a great idea But we tried it about 12 years ago I think it was the sportsman racers association. And I have a feeling it was like herding cats.

A non profit can get a loan. My homeowners association just borrowed 1.5 million to buy the golf course where I live.
