As I've have previously posted...

Peter Clifford, CEO makes north of $1,000,000/year as he should at the helm of a company with $90 million in revenue.

I've seen all this stuff before.
What I'm trying to find is who are these people who call the shots for what categories we're allowed to race.
in.

In other words (going back a way) Who decided that Jr. Stock was over with and we should be forced into S/S or Pure Stock?

Who decided to do away with Modified and replace it with S/G?

Who decided we needed Pro Stock Truck ? ..That didn't end well for NHRA. I would assume that got the big boot shortly thereafter.

Who came up with the Import gig? Guessing that guy fell to the same fate as the previous person.

I'm hoping Bobby Bennett will reply to this thread.
Or maybe someone else with knowledge as to how this deal works

So at first, I was only going to say something about how I thought Ned Walliser was the guy taking credit for the weekly FSS "pulley parity" adjustments.

But while fact checking myself, I stumbled onto this from 2018. You can interpret it as you see fit. At a minimum, maybe it answers one or two of Mark's original questions!

I still wonder who the non- promoters and marketers of the Lucas series are ;-)
