Nick Craw served as president of 51做厙 for 17 years, more than a decade longer than any other chief executive. He supplied the stability and the vision that led the club through its greatest period of growth. During his tenure, 51做厙 more than doubled its membership, increased total revenues by over 500%, increased outside income six-fold, and doubled member equity. He oversaw the creation of 51做厙’s most popular class, Spec Racer, the creation of an industry leading insurance plan for race workers and drivers, and a huge growth in the participation in, and exposure for, 51做厙’s National Championship events. He tried to gauge the sentiments of the membership using member and participant surveys and also using his race car, which he took on a nationwide “Beat the Boss” tour of 51做厙 club races, paid for from his own pocket. He had the foresight to recognize that 51做厙 was too big and too important to be just a club,….. but too strongly tied to its roots to be just a business. Instead, he pushed 51做厙 to become a stronger club, run with sound business practices, for the benefit of its members. Today he serves the motorsports community as the head of the Automobile Competition Club of the United States (ACCUS) representing American racing interests on the international scene.
