NHRA Headquarters

[Gone Dead Train]

Did I miss something? I thought NHRA was moving the headquarters to Indy, instead they are just
moving from Glendora, down the street to San Dimas. So they must of sold the old building. Did they
buy in San Dimas or just renting? Here is there new address

When it came time to move, NHRA called on a high-powered friend of the sport

When NHRA moved its headquarters in late October from its longtime location in Glendora, Calif., to a new building in nearby San Dimas, it called upon Russells Moving & Storage, an associate sponsor on Cruz Pedregon’s Funny Car and of Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, to get the job done at...

I know this has bin ask before. What about Camping World Marcus Lemonis. Has NHRA, Fox or any of
the great freelance writers done a interview with Marcus and ask him his thoughts on coming onboard
with the NHRA (was it the Gator's back in Sept 2020) or is it a secret?

The return of the Dragster Insider includes the tale of the missing firesuit, memories of John "Tarzan" Austin and Dal Denton, and moving on from one NHRA home to another.

This doesn't really give a location, but was all I could find.

Jim, all the so called experts on the internet said they were moving to Indy. They bought the Glendora building in 1986 so I'm sure they made very good money on the sale and are now renting in San Dimas.

Thanks Mike. I'm pretty sure my mind isn't blown all the way. (not yet, but getting close)

there was some discussion of NHRA leasing back some of the space in Glendora if it was sold. Either that didn't happen or they decided to move somewhere else. I don't believe they intended to move everything to Indy. They just found themselves with more space than needed in Glendora and needed an infusion of cash

The bigger problem here is "When you rob Peter to pay Paul" you are on a slippery slope and selling real assets lowers your net worth. Unless it is already sold the days of paying above asking price in the greater L.A. area for commercial property are basically over. Businesses do not downsize because they are doing great and it is almost for certain "Automation" has not taken over with this Crew of Geniuses leaving them with all that extra floorspace. By the way Glendora and San Dimas are about maybe 4 1/2 miles apart and San Dimas is about 4 1/2 miles closer to the Fairplex (Drag Strip). It doesn't look like they are getting away from the Strip anytime soon. Another way to look at it might be that renting or leasing probably could be expensed better for a "Non Profit" or "Not for Profit" whatever it is tax wise and Bracket Field is right there for both the Offices and the Track. It's small but still can be used.

Roger, little confused, what does the location of the NHRA offices have to do with running Pomona? They only use the track twice a year.

Just because they are only running two races a year right now dosen't mean they only go on the property for those two events.

Yea, it pretty much does however for 30 years they were in Glendora and it didnt make a bit difference so I'm pretty moving to San Dimas had nothing to do with the location of the track.

You are very possibly right but the location certinly did not deter from their decision and it maybe could be an advantage. I was just thinking of scenarios that could (not would) be reasons for the move there. It is also possible that once NHRA figures out the Tax and Legal (as well as monitary) advantages vs disadvantages of being headquartered in Indy vs Ca they may still move there. Since they appearently didn't buy they are in a position to stay or go if they want to. Drag Racing is always going to be overshadowed by Indy Cars and Short Track racing in Illinois Indiana which puts NHRA down lower in the pecking order of associations there for what it's worth.

You think Indy is in Illinois? That explains a lot.

Could it be they stayed close because most of the employees and/or management working out the Glendora headquarters live near Glendora which is minutes from San Dimas? Regarding the supposed need to be near Fairplex at Pomona...they have two races in Vegas as well but they don't need to move there.

Guess I had a Senior moment. I raced there 4 times in the past but must have forgot my geography this morning and put it in the wrong state or mybe my computer just misspelled Indiana . I know it has a hard time with Indianapolis.

Oh Cliff, I posted this link and another one when I started this thread. You are going to get the reposting cop upset
