While I don't disagree, a lot of the enmity is due to how NHRA has treated so many over the years. Alan, Dave Ley and his wife, Gloria, Redman, and Wesley Roberson, among others, aren't just "personnel", those people are our family. Some of those people literally broke bread with us in our pits, shared water and other cold and hot beverages with us, and spoke with us regularly. Because they too love the sport, and they love us, as well.


NHRA has simply discarded so many who gave their lives to this sport we love, to make things better for us, the racers.
