March 13-14 IHRA Nitro Jam Mardi Gras Nationals To Host Trio Of Special Guests :

.....Tina Pierce has been racing for six years. She drives her 2000 Chevrolet S-10 on the streets of Oklahoma, then brings it to the track to race. She has won several awards at her local track and also appeared at Hot Rod Drag Week 2014. Pierce did very well, finishing fifth in the Unlimited class and fourth in the Heads-up Shootout. Tina was the gatekeeper (No. 10 spot) on the Street Outlaws television series. Ironically, she was forced to leave the show because she was pregnant with her second child at the time. Pierce continues to race all around Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas. The Street Outlaws star will be the special guest of Crower and will sign autographs and make exhibition passes in her pro truck.

NHRA sends threatening letters and IHRA invites them to a Nitro Jam race....go figure.

If a drag racer gets caught molesting a child, would it be okay for NHRA to tell him to stay away from the track? Or would that be a case of NHRA regulating off-track behavior?

Just wondering what, if any, off track behavior os okay for NHRA to block from the races.

Darrell Alderman was suspended by NHRA for a year, regarding his substance abuse issues.

Mike Carr · 03-09-2015, 07:03 PM

Actually, two years, Jerry (he sat out 1992 and '93) for cocaine.

This is no different than other major sports leagues (NFL, NHL, MLB etc) that punish players for off-field legal/behavior issues. I don't see any issue with what NHRA did.

I would ask him personally to quit drag racing completely.

I agree. In an environment that children are present, the person should be allowed in the premises.

Its IHRA but there is a loser out in NC that is banned for this exact reason. And I agree with it.
