National event chaos?

My question will be in regards to stacking. And lets use LRP as the example. !

With no stacking, Its going to be like Indians circling the wagon train, the wagon train being LRP and of course us racers , the Indians !

A **** load of racers will be circling the track until 0 hour when they open the gates .....or parking in the streets and the law shows up !

Seems like a messy deal to be !!!

This deal sounds like a complete lack of respect for the racer (customer) by the Association. So many changes without thought of the consequences for the racers. I think I'd crap my pants if either of the HRA's changes being made actually benefited the racer! Jim

Since NHRA is broke and their solution affects the Sportsman racer it may be time to look into getting our voting rights back. It is pretty apparent the NHRA Board of Directors, that we gave our voting rights to, are not taking care of business in a manner that keeps Sportsman racing healthy. SRAC needs to represent us on the NHRA Board of Directors with our vote instead of just being around to provide our lip service.

I'm sure in favor of having MY vote back!
At the very least, our SRAC members should each have a vote on the board!

Has anything in NHRA,s business structure (other than the attitude) changed to where it would make it not possible for us to want and get our membership voting right returned? Many of today's members weren't even born when it was "signed" away. This must be looked into!

Billy,
My guess is that since the membership voted to cede control to the board of directors, the board of directors would have to vote to cede control back to the rank and file membership. Not likely to happen. NHRA is obviously being operated far outside the spirit of the original charter, if not the letter. I suspect that once control was ceded to the board, the charter was modified to make it nearly impossible, if not completely impossible to revert back to the way it was. It would probably require a long, difficult, and expensive legal battle, if it is even possible. Perhaps the best option is probably the IRS investigation into violations of the not for profit charter that Bruce told us about. Alas, that went silent a while back.

NHRA operates under a 501(c)6 non profit charter requiring it to act specifically and directly in the best interests of the rank and file membership. As such, it would probably be necessary for a group of members to retain counsel and prove that they have standing, and then that they have grounds to claim that NHRA has acted in conflict with the best interests of the rank and file membership, and then provide evidence to support that position. It will be neither cheap nor easy, nor is there any certainty in getting the desired result.
