That is just like a racing organization we know a little about.

now Adger, that is a pretty broad brush. I have served with and continue to serve for some local charities that are staffed mainly with volunteers including the board members. I agree there are some out there that serve themselves more than the community. do the research before donating. Always look at the overhead costs when considering a contibution. the real issue is that NHRA has grown into a business that is way too top heavy and only is able to stay afloat because of the breaks they get as a non-profit. i wish they would flush the upper management and start over. the only problem is that they would probably call themselves a church, take more tax breaks and give compton another raise!
