Just like every BIG organization, they always loose the true path. As per the recent issue of National Dragster- why doesn't the NHRA fix the D.O.T. problems that racers face? Why don't they fix the IRS problems for racers? Why does NHRA payouts stink? Promotions of local or national events is poor. Why does NHRA keep renewing their contract with ESPN? Are they really promoting drag racing or just themselves? Street racing is not safe and illegal. This shows has many followers. These are all potential racers or spectators. Use it. If you remember "Big Willie" from LA, you know that he was a street racer and worked hard for a strip in LA. NHRA embraced him in addition to all the racers that got their start street racing and had great careers. So what's the problem?
