Your comment was the following, Starting a new organization is really impractical unless you have a silicon valley billionaire handing out $$$. Fixing NHRA and its lack of vision and standoffish culture makes the most sense.
Well, I know of one billionaire who also happens to own 8 circle tracks plus a number of drag strips who about 5 or 10 years ago wanted to purchase the NHRA so maybe there are others who might also be interested.
I agree with you that it will take someone with deep pockets to play the game.
I also remember when this same billionaire wanted to start another stock car association and made a statement saying I will offer a million dollars to the winner of each race I have and then will see where the racers go!
I must admit I am hoping the NHRA makes some needed changes to the way they are running the show before someone else starts running a better show and paying more money to the racers.
