Angry Re: The IRS and NHRA, you gotta see this.

NHRA simply becomes a private corporation, we become "customers" rather than "members", and Compton et. al continue to receive their inordinate amounts of pay, and we continue to have no say in how the organization is run. What other company do you have a say in how it is run, simply as a customer? Chrysler? Nope. Cargill? Nope. Mars (M&Ms)? Nope. These are some of the largest private companies in the U.S.

How, you ask, will NHRA be able to continue to afford to pay these ridiculous wages once they have to pay income tax as well? You guessed it, more sportsman racing "enhancements". NHRA will just raise the prices of everything to compensate for their lost revenue. They've done it before and we've never done anything about it. Why would we now?

So, though I want to have a voice, and I want to see these a-holes held accountable, it still may not be in my best interests as a drag racer to see this happen (though it WILL be in my best interests as a tax-paying citizen).

Should be interesting to say the least...
What difference does it make ? You (The Members) have no say already and the entries, Insurance, and enhancements just keep going up anyway and the potential for a return just keeps coming down !
Show me and others on this forum what would be different????????????????????????.
