Help Fix What's Wrong With Our NHRA

[Don Sofranko]

Its funny to some, but a vote to quit going, is a real vote. I quit without sending a letter or complaining. It just seemed like the thing to do. It also seemed like the organization was just plain screwing the racers, raising the costs, lowering the return available, messing with extra charges, etc..

Around 2003, I was in the lanes at the Indy divisional, at 10PM, on a saturday night, waiting for one time run. It occured to me that I could have used the 500 dollars or so spent on the event, to board a southwest plane, get a room on the beach, and actually get 500 worth of fun for the money. So the car went up for sale, and that plan went into effect. Now I don't even give them a dime a year (except for going to some divisionals to watch my pals).

I have people asking me if I am getting the racing bug again. I usually say, "the pain doesn't equal the gain". Or "not enough to start the pointless spending again". Some people can't seem to find another life outside of racing, and I understand. Letting the clutch out is hard to replace, but a good roller coaster isn't too bad.

send your letter and sign my name on it, I will agree with Pat

Don,
I love roller coasters,but they are no where close to letting clutch go,I can't believe you would even think such a thing,LOL

This is a joke so take it that way, The problem with NHRA is same as US goverment everyone that knows how to run them the right way is here on this web site,or fill in blank on location..LOL
but in all seriousness that is somewhat a fact,I see decisions that goverment,big corporations etc. make and wonder how could anyone with any common sense make some of these decisions they make?

I agree with Pat's letter.

I remember 20-25yrs ago the popular phrase was, "that person cannot do his/her job so we will just promote them and get them out of the way" Well guess who is in charge now!
