Yes, there are many professionals in NHRA drag racing. However, I would think that the only "professional" event would be the SpringNats; although most of the field are amateurs, the pro classes are the dominant part of the event.

In my Firm, the people at the top are the ones who are least backwards about asking "dumb" questions. It's the new people who are scared to ask for fear of "looking ignorant." Always appreciate those who want a clarification, a "warm fuzzy," or just want to re-learn something they had forgotten.

And, as a college instructor, I'd already be toast if I felt i needed to "know everything," because I don't. I've seen far too many instructors in all fields make that mistake. I make sure that the students know they have the responsibility to challenge me at every opportunity.
