I agree and as much as I hate to see these huge salaries come at our expense, it can only get worse.

Greg.....Drag racing is a non profit buisness (for most)......LOL.

This is not about how much the board make, folks. It's not about the fact the NHRA makes a profit. It's about how the organization is structured and how it operates.

Read the brief/complaint as it was filed, and remember that the guy who filed it, held the job of the woman who the complaint was filed with, for ten years. He's not just "taking a shot", he knows what he's doing.

Sounds like maybe Mr. Anonymous is looking to cash in with the IRS under their whistle blower policy.

Terry, I have great respect for you, as well as many others on this board. You guys were fortunate enough to have lived the heyday, I was not. You guys have made 1000's of passes to my 100's. But, I built my car to travel with and compete, not to sit in the garage. If I had 30 years of Stock Eliminator racing under my belt, I may feel the same way. I dont agree with the increases, double standards, afhs as well as several other things. I'm not going to bracket race locally and I dont have the IHRA alternative at this moment.

If NHRA is operating illegally, we, the racers, can only hope for the best of what will happen. I dont want them to fold, pass on more increases, etc. But, I do want to race and will continue to as money allows.

You can see where I'm coming from, cant ya?

Somehow I doubt it.

Really. What else could motivate someone to file such a complaint.

Seriously?

Have you looked closely and carefully at how NHRA has been run for the last 30 years or so?

You think monetary compensation is the only reason anyone would want to see something done about that?

My hope is that the outcome of the investigation results in a changing of the guard back to people that are doing it for the love of the sport.

If it were to be deemed a for profit who would become the owner?
