Does anybody really listen?

Billy, the fact that Glen replied to my son, no mind called him to discuss the subject of his email, says it worked out better than we expected and they are really listening. Further, Glen closed their conversation by telling my son to call him anytime to discuss any issue he might have. Based on how Glen handled this email, I feel they are really listening and more important listening to the right demographic for their future.

Ed, I absolutely agree with you about Glen replying to your son in such a personal and timely fashion. I hope that this will be the new normal for NHRA dealing with it's membership. BUT........ it has been my experience over the years that people like Glen don't last long in the NHRA and/or they don't have any real capability to make any changes or decisions. I hope that I'm wrong and Glen is the face of a new, improved NHRA but after years (and years) of disappointments I think that I have a reason to be skeptical.

I'll just say this.. maybe this guy Glen is the new Len Imbrogno.. for those who remember Len, he was the NHRA guy that looked out for Sportsman Racing, back in the day.. Len really went out of his way for us, and always made staging lane appearances to introduce himself, and to discuss personal racing concerns.. He was a great guy in my book, but apparently was not going with the grain of the upper eschelon, and disappeared.. hope this doesn't happen to Glen, if he happens to be cut from the Imbrogno cloth...

Cromwell and another gentlemen came out to those parked at the NASCAR track going multiple trailers to say thank you for sticking it out in tough conditions.

He came off as genuine in his appreciation of the racers.
