Redman petition

Alan, you know very well the NHRA is all about the family, specifically the JFR and DSR families but a few others to 'spice' up things...apparently you build a huge youth following by letting them smell nitro in the pits, selling them T shirts, etc. There must be a connection to the instant gratification mentality that runs rampant today and of course we know that's not an identifiable demographic amongst the sportsman ranks. Don't have a clue as to the NHRA hierarchy but there must be some family connections regarding hires within the IT department, marketing, etc. so based on all that I'd have to say they are very family oriented.

From all appearances Redman and his ilk are too closely associated with "our" family rather than the NHRA family, hence his persona non grata status.
