It's odd that the NHRA is "non-profit" given that they (1) put on 23 national events that draw quite a few people, (2) sign major sponsors who pay major money to advertise, and (3) return such crummy monetary awards back to the racers. How can they NOT make a profit you ask? One way is to pay huge salaries to a select few at the top, run an inefficient, government-like operation that blows money or accumulate a large slush fund....my guess is the first one; the huge salaries. There is a legal difference between a "non profit corporation" and a "not for profit corporation"

It appears that the professional part of the org is separated from the little-guy amateur part....am I reading it right?

Now we get the 100 dollar tee shirts,get to see corny commercials all over the air waves and also get to pay out the nose to get in the track,The vendors at the track will be hit for more money,the parking goes up,and if its not profitable ,no racing in your area.
Also the little guy will have no chance because of the money it will cost to participate.Basically its going commercial like nascar did or selling out if you like that term better.
Garbage advertising and initiate the if you talk bad about us screwin you ,you get fined or banned.
You know how its went in the past when his type of sale/merger goes down...........probably try to get em on unleaded 93octane too
