That isn't a big surprise. It just shows how far away they are from their core business. I used to think that the decision makers didn't care. Now I am afraid to say they actually don't know what racing is. We can only hope that the overpaid execs that are there now move on before the whole deal goes sideways. Maybe some people with passion and understanding about racing will have a chance to save it. At least the grass roots associations are there so we have a place to race if the current regime crashes the association into the ground. I wish it was better, but I fear that it is not going to get better before it gets worse for us as NHRA members.

OK, I'll volunteer to take Compton's place. I'm retired, drawing a pension and have insurance so I can work for cheap. (Notice I didn't say free) Know class racing and have been there, done that. We need to get back to the basics and promote, make the pro guys pay to play. They got it or can get it. OH! don't drink much so no worries there. lol

I don't know what Tom Compton is doing these days but I would rather have Peter Clifford's job.

If you have not seen this article it is a good read. It talks about some of the issues raised here and also reveals why the Hemis don't run well under the new rules.
