Street Outlaws on Discovery....

[EZ Nova]

Funny, I've been a member of Yellowbullet since day 1 on an invite over dinner with Monty BEFORE there was even a site. Now that site is huge and I think the biggest car/motorsports site on the web at this time.

YES I have talked with Chief, Shawn, Dom, "daddy" Dave, Doc, GO TEE BO ad Monza on YB. There seem to be just normal, down to earth type of guys with the typical hang ups that we all have or go through. They have said the ROADS are closed, there is safety and fire on scene, BUT the races are full on racing, not staged. YOU WIN, you WIN!

What the Nazi Hot Rod Association is going after them for is WAY outside the mandate of the NHRA lic and conduct mandates are. The LIC is to run on THERE track. You can run IHRA and they accept the NHRA lic of most cases. BUT funny, NHRA will not usually honour the IHRA lic.

I see track LEAVING the NHRA and either going "outlaw" or IHRA for a while. With the ever rising cost and fees Associated with NHRA, I'm surprised the IHRA isn't jumping on this as a way to win over racers and tracks.

There is NOTHING on the NHRA lic that says you agree NOT to street race. People are saying that and that street racing is illegial, therefore they do not want to condone it. Well guess what, how many of the NHRA lic holding racers have DUI's, Fraud, stealing, sex charges and been CONVICTED! Yet they still have lic to race. It's a joke that NHRA is either:

A. playing this up to get MORE recognition for both the show and themselves to help there numbers,

B. Seriously butt-hurt that these "country bumpkins" from Oklahoma are feeding it to the GRAND Nazi-HRA in there own backyard, AT THERE OWN GAME.

Maybe all these up-coming show should just BOYCOTT these tracks to, and go race solely on IHRA or outlaw tracks.

They keep that up and NHRA WILL be history ...

Me thinks Plan B. The rumor is NHRA has put the screws to a number of tracks with NHRAs "my way or the highway" attitude and way of doing business. The rumor mill here in San Antonio surrounding the San Antonio Raceway is just an example ... lately, that deal has hushed up big time. Haven't heard a word as to the "receivership" situation clouding that great racetrack's future.

I thought all the discussion with SAR was involving IHRA? When did NHRA become involved?
That track REALLY needs to be reopened. We are stuck with Little River or Houston, and I aint driving to Houston!

For 2013 NHRA had $ 99.2M of revenue, $ 98M of expenses for a $1.3M gain. Comptons compensation was $869k
For 2012 NHRA had $ 98.3M of revenue, $ 97M of expenses for a $1.2M gain. Comptons compensation was $709k
For 2011 NHRA had $ 98.0M of revenue, $101M of expenses for a $3.4M loss. Comptons compensation was $745k
For 2010 NHRA had $104.0M of revenue, $104M of expenses for a $ 12k loss. Comptons compensation was $712k
For 2009 NHRA had $107.7M of revenue, $108M of expenses for a $600k loss. Comptons compensation was $701k
For 2008 NHRA had $122.5M of revenue, $121M of expenses for a $1.9M gain. Comptons compensation was $772k
For 2007 NHRA had $121.5M of revenue, $116M of expenses for a $5.6M gain. Comptons compensation was $745k

So, over the last 7 years this organization has experienced a $22.3M (18%) decrease in revenue, an $18M decrease (15%) in expenses, but the CEO compensation has generally increased. You can see the compensation moving around with revenue and gain/loss, but in many corporations - the CEO would be on the way out with this type of leadership, but the recession provides a safe context!

Ah, I see. Thanks for posting that, Marlin. That's interesting. Based on your knowledge of the NHRA, what is your opinion of the complaint? No big deal, or are people in Glendora sweating this? Further, what might be the connection, if any, between this complaint and the rumors of NHRA's attempt to sell the Pro classes (which, it should be pointed out, are unverified as of now).

Perhaps Compton &amp; Company are looking to abandon this ship before the music stops. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but the timing of the letters to the SO guys coming out at almost exactly the same time the sale rumor hits are curious. Maybe just coincidence, but odd timing.

Next -- bailout!

Jeff -- the track switched to NHRA sometime in 2009 ... then at a later date (don't know exactly when) they switched to IHRA. Later, the rumor was they were going back to NHRA and that is when the train seemed to jump the track. There appears to be a be a crapper full of legal goings on now -- haven't heard anything for about a month. The last word was that the folks holding the paper tried to sell the place -- no one bit.

I agree with you -- it is a nice facility (Less than 10 miles from my home) and needs to be opened back up regardless who the sanctioning body is.

You have idiots like that everywhere. The majority of REAL and safety oriented street races happen between 1-4 AM on a deserted road with none of the spectators in front of the starting line.
