Larry,
Have you run across the document that alludes to the vote in which the general membership turned over the decision-making process to the Board of Directors? We voted to do that years ago, and that's probably the reason this thing is the mess that it is, now. The fox is watching the chicken coop....... and, has been ever since then. Bill

We are a long way from yearly membership being $2 a year.
Bill, I sorta remember something similar. Seems like after the M/P protest at Indy, NHRA laywers must have gone over the incorperation papers amd saw a possible problem. I think that fall NHRA sent out a proxy to solve their problem. If you didn't send it back, NHRA got to vote for you. Wish someone would go thru the official records NHRA has filed in LA county and find out what rights we acually have. Looks like Larry has a good start. |

I'll try to dig up some of my old research on this outfit. I have some of their charter stuff and legal materials that were given to me by a California non profit lawyer. It's been awhile but I seem to remember him saying something about challenging the take over by Wally & Co.

We have a copy of the tax return (Form 990) for NHRA for 1992 and 1993. We also have the By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation plus a few other forms. The reason we have these is that Larry got mad at NHRA in 1995 after he had been running the little red Chevy pick-up truck for a year (before AHFS). In that year, the truck had been given 30 horsepower and the index dropped 1 second ( not a tenth, but 1 full second). So he wrote and requested these forms. He was so pissed off that he didn't race for about a year, but then I remember a talk he had with Stan Perry something to the effect that "it's their ballgame and you can stay mad if you want to, but if you want to do what you truly enjoy doing, just suck it up". Those were not the exact words, but he got the meaning! So we have been racing ever since. We still have all these forms and I will bring them with us to Memphis this weekend if anyone wants to see them. I don't think Larry plans on doing anything with them, but after all these last increases in fees, it just brought back some bad feelings.
Look us up at Memphis if you want to see these. Patsy |
