NHRA Decisions

[Mike Gray]

I think this fits the racers relationship better -

“The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done.”

OK then.............................................. .............ummmm, the "independent contractor" would be whom? The NHRA being "paid" by the Racers to supply the Racers with a place to race or the Racers being "paid" (yeah, that's a joke) by the NHRA to supply the NHRA with a show?

As much as NHRA tries to frame it otherwise, we are simply the customer. And NHRA pretty much has a monopoly on the market.

IMO in today's market we're no more than inventory to the NHRA!

NHRA pays you (purse money lol) to be involved but they don't control (to most extent) what or where you decide to race. Kind of goes along with this -
Am I a private contractor? After my initial investment to be "involved" in the production of the show am I not repatriated/paid for being "involved" in the show?

My most recent research of the online version of the Rule Book I soon realized that much of it's content was authored by Corporate Lawyers and would guess that Billy's questions can be answered somewhere within the Rule Book.
