NHRA's Response - Summernationals

[Dan Fahey]

Thanks Guys:

I look at every problem in my business as an opportunity.
That attitude has always paid off too.
Things get solved when opportunity meets preparation.

As a President of my company it is my job to fix what broke, make good better, and sleep with good conscience.

In business and family when a problem arises many times I am the last person to know about it. Just the nature of things.

Have been reading lots of griping about NHRA this and that, yet nothing seems to get done.

We are NHRA Members, we are a UNION of Racers.
Know a lot of you hate that word but get over it.

Our objectives are simple.
Safety, fun, fair treatment and dignity at the tracks.

Side Note:
I remember when tracks were never prepped and seems that VHT though makes tracks consistent can also cause maintenance issues and inconsistent traction of if not correctly used.

Back to Topic:
NHRA is a business and its Leadership is a large complex organization trying to seek a balance with fans, players and gripy people.
Just like any other sports organization.

Believe me sometimes it is not fun.
I have Reffed Soccer Games from Hell...in fact recently.
Despite calling the best games of my life there is no pleasing those that want to win and have all the calls go their way.

Back to our Sport.
We have the right to petition our NHRA Leadership.
However there is no leader or team of advocates, that I know of.

Who advocates for us now, because IMHO it does not seem to be NHRA?

Think IHRA is trying hard to working well with racers.
Yet most racers are NHRA centric and not migrating to IHRA that seems more pro racer.

We the members of NHRA want them to be successful.
I know they are trying to do their best. They are not monsters.
All of us have a lot in common especially regarding our investments and theirs.

It would be to our advantage to organize, challenge NHRA and IHRA professionally and not be adversarial to help them manage their organization.

Now back to work...
