I have a question, the PDRA states that they will not charge for membership, (according to a post by Rottin Rhonda on NW Bombers) but in looking at the old DDRA website, there are membership fees, what is it going to be?

Can someone please clarify what role PDRA &/or DDRA are planning? Are they going to sanction events (like NHRDA and NADM), or are they organizations of competitors?
Thanks,
Michael Pliska

Good question Michael, DDRA listed the Woodburn Thunder Truck event as one of their events. I never saw any evidence of them being there, at least last year or 06 that I can remember. Maybe that is going to be the approach the new organization is taking. Not exactly sure what that does however?

Obviously that has worked to their favor (not).

Im suprised that Randy would let a NHRDA affiliate like yourself get on here and trash other race organizations while everyone is just trying to get things in order after the merger. Im sure you are # 1 on the get back to list especially when you start self imploding online, got prozac?

I've heard nothing but negative things about the Manager/Owner of this Organization on other boards, and about the leadership of the PDRA as a whole. Not sure what to think here?

Unless you are in the "group" (Pretty much means you have paid the guy money in the past for work), you won't get an answer, just a joke. He's a nice guy and has done a hell of a lot with building power from a diesel. But he loves secrets. Which in this case doesn't seem like the best move.

I honestly don't think he's trashing anyone. Me, Myself and I think these are legit questions.

Well, whatever, I have no problem supporting any organization who is trying to put on and build Diesel Drag Racing. I want to support them, would love to get some answers.

I’ve had such a great time viewing this thread that I have to sign up. After seeing people’s integrity being questioned I needed to post some FACTUAL information regarding the opposition. I happen to know the mouth pieces speaking for that group. They are being scripted and frequently I’ve watched as their Florida race rep (Chris) hovers over the thread as a new post is produced.
First of all congratulations are in order for the four owners of the PDRA. They went from zero to a huge membership overnight as “the fastest growing diesel motor sport organization in the world.”
However the formation took place, I’m glad to see it and I’m confident that they have the sincere motivation to bring a diesel venue at the lowest cost to the racers. So, hang in there and remember those negative posts are a generated from jealousy and validate the rumors of just how pocket-lining driven that other group really is.
The integrity questions are being bought up by people who obviously either aren’t networked or don’t have enough experience with the diesel race community. I’ll set you straight with the facts: the owner of that 4 year old Washington state race org doesn’t wear white. He’s had a lot of problems with many businesses. Check out the problems with Eastern WA Sand Drags, Pacific Raceways (who didn’t receive promised fees), call them up they’ll tell you the story about it. Also let’s not forget the past purse issues where the winners never received their prize; once again guess who? Not to mention at every event gate fees are doubled and sometimes tripled with all profit going to the race org. How noble…..
Some of that race organization’s sponsors are poorly promoted because the owner of the race org has a shop that pushes a specific vendor’s products. So, sponsors aren’t receiving their full representation.
Last year at the SEMA show I spoke with some of the diesel-related vendors. Although they had praise for the Georgia race organization, they hammered the WA state org because they were given excuses about not meeting sponsors’ expectations.
And, to the Forgone Ford guy, who are you, do you race? If your racing success reflects your knowledge base, you must follow a lot of tail gates.
You seem to be a connoisseur of public records; did you have to receive a top secret government clearance to access them? You have a lot of time on your hands; perhaps you’re not too good with the ladies? You need to get a life.

So researching a subject and having knowledge on it now means you don't have a life.. Alright from here on out if any of you even THINK about knowing what your talking about I am dropping the hammer!
And yes he races quite often. Amazing that questions aren't answered, they are met with slams. You must back the PDRA too? I'm really likin that orginization. But I'll stop there, I don't want to know too much.
And before you get all bent out of shape.. I don't dislike the idea, I think it's great. And I definitely don't have any problems with the people running it. But this isn't the 50's. There are legal things that *should* be addressed. Will they ever be a problem? Probably not, but there is always a possibility.
