New Division one Director
They ( the NHRA) announced today that we have a new Division Director - Craig Curdie - he comes from FELD Entertainment after ten years there where he headed Monster Jam and worked with Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey .
Comes as a surprise to most of us in D1...........Anyone know anything about him????

Bean counter, let the cheating commence! Actually I wish him the best, I know I would not want that job! Hope it works out, but I must say someone with drag racing knowledge would of been a better choice

Re: New Division one Director
They never said he was part of the drag racing, maybe he was, i don't think so, i don't remember seeing or hearing anything about him, i was a touring pro-am racer for many years, until the circus ran it into the ground, and again, i really do wish him the best of luck.

Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey. The irony is palpable.
Hoping for the best...

Wish Craig all the best, but this kinda says it all. Good luck with the NHRA circus. Division Directors need to either be racers themselves or, at least, understand the needs of his/or her local racers.
