I'll bet they also raised the fee for a points race to their member tracks

Apparently NHRA revenues were down by 14 million from 2008 to 2009. In about a year it will be interesting to compare those numbers to 2010 and speculate how much of a factor it was in raising prices.

The funny thing about this whole thing is that NHRA is self-insured! All that premium money goes directly to them. Jim

Cool!! They should set up a west coast headquarters in SoCal, maybe in Glendora. Buy a piece of dirt down the street, maybe in Pomona and build a dragstrip.

It's too bad IHRA doesn't have the financial means to pull a bunch of major tracks away from NHRA and give them real compitition.More now than ever NHRA will never be riper for plucking than they are now.
Someone mentioned that the addition of the two new board members are versed in the field of real estate and that possibly Compton is trying to deal the organization.Maybe someone with vision will buy it and breathe life back into it.

Maybe then I could afford to get my engine puffed up for next year.It's sitting in the garage in the dark, like a mushroom.
