Dick I think you miss the point. How do "they" own anything? Did "they" invest their own money and buy or build NHRA? If it's their business how can "they operate as a non profit 501 c6 corporation which clearly states that you can not operate as a for profit business? I think when then rocks are finally turned over some things may change.

Dick,
It is thinking like this that has enabled this organization to scam both the racers and general public. "They" own nothing. "They" is a 501 (c)(6) not for profit corporation . "They" have been sucking off the public dole for more than 50 years. "They" have certain rules that "they" must adhere to in order for them to continue to suck off our tax dollars. And "they" aren't playing by the rules and therefore "they" will receive a very rude awakening for their illegal policies. I hope you understand now. That even "they" have rules and that there are agencies charged with oversight of these rules. These agencies can produce a terrible bite if alerted to the facts.

Switching to IHRA solves what?



NHRA was taken from its members.


So, if someone takes something from you, your solution is to let them keep what belongs to you, and get yourself something else?

Steve, Jason and others....yes we vent because its* important to us. A forum to share views empowers the "once-manipulated-masses" to challenge the ivory tower....although there are multiple agendas, its* worth fighting for....we have few victories, mufflers being one, there is a shared passion for it*

*uniformly enforced written rules within a class structure, so that racers across the USA can expect fairness when gathered together to drag race (INDY, US Class Nationals, Sportsmen Nationals etc).....there is an aura of shared pain and sacrifice that only class racers can understand

This is not in the cards. Some wouldnt switch even if hell froze over. Plus the travel distance involved.

Terry,
You need to get off this kick about racers switching to IHRA. You can bet your bottom dollar that racers would go IHRA racing if the big dawg bites the dust. In other words: Racers are going to race. They cannot resist the impulse to race.

Why do you guys keep doing this if all it does is tick everyone off all the time? One thing about stock racers, you all seem to be eternally pi******* off, all the time, about the injustice of the week whatever it is.
