Neil Britt, who led NHRA’s National Dragster magazine and the NHRA’s publications department for more than a dozen years through the 1980s and 90s, has passed away. He was 77.
Britt joined NHRA in November 1983 as director of publications, and helped the organization’s weekly magazine grow in size, circulation and advertising revenue, the NHRA said. He also led the creation of the Daily Dragster, which debuted at the 1988 NHRA U.S. Nationals, and later championed the creation of the NHRA.com website in 1995. Britt was promoted to vice president of publications, and later to senior vice president, before leaving the NHRA in 1997.
