First it was Warren Johnson ripping NHRA management on the ESPN broadcast of the race from Maple Grove and now it is veteran drag racing journalist Jon Asher bringing out the heavy guns. Asher pulls no punches in his evaulation of NHRA top brass these days in this cutting story on CompetitionPlus.com.
Asher has called for heads to roll before, but this latest editorial effort is as pointed as one will find from any drag racing source worth its salt. Asher has not been the most loved of guys by the NHRA as time has progressed. He’s, never afraid to share an opinion, or direct his audience toward big problems looming on the horizon. Asher has the unique ability to maintain an even tone while cutting management to ribbons.
