NHRA Leadership question

So, if the organization is to be run for the "benefit of its members" then how is it equitable to exclude the largest block of people from voting?

Thanks Julie for a dose of reality.
The LAST thing you would want is NHRA to be put in the hands of the racers.More math.
+ or - 4,000 S/SS racers(number taken out of the air) -:- by 73,000 + roughly 5% of the membership.I don't know the amount of super category racers,but if they're about another 4,000 then that's still a bit over 10%.So to get what we want,screw the fans and bracket racers.
All this talk about putting who we want in is moot anyway.If they are by a miracle equal to the parting of the Red Sea,removed from their positions,I'm sure they will hand pick their replacements.
Remember the devil you know and the devil you don't know.
