Re: Online Petition
As someone who was closer to this situation than most, I would like say a few things. The week before he answered his charges (of which he was already aware of ) he sat at dinner with us like nothing was wrong. Like many others I considered him to be a friend. In the months prior to that most of the people that were on his e-mail list were "looked at" or investigated. Having 2 younger kids who had direct contact with him was also a concern, and asking my 10 year old son if there was ever any inappropriate conversation or "touching" was a talk I don't ever want to have again. I agree with John and his overall safety message and that NHRA will do nothing, but this matter is far from over. For him to show up like nothing ever happened after beating/buying the "Justice System" and also his "Miraculous Recovery" from illness is insulting to say the least. Those of us with kids consider races to be family outings to be freely enjoyed by all attending, not spend the weekend nervous and wondering. His appearance at ANY race or related activity is repulsive and should not be allowed. If this man tries a comeback and NHRA does not act, we will have to use other pressures. I do not use his engine/transmission or chassis builders but if I knew they facilitated his return I would never use them again. For those of you that do, a phone call is in order. We can only hope that he stays home in his self imposed "prison".
