So NHRA threatening to remove privileges due to the fact of putting on a show scripted and acted out for TV entertainment on personal time is ok. If so read my thread above this one.

Although many of us may not agree with the rule changes and policies from NHRA, the association was created to provide a safe place and environment for racing.

Like Sammy said, every time there is an accident or crash involving the loss of life due to racing in the streets, the first statement used by the news media is "Drag Racing".

It is interesting that after NHRA issued the admonishment, an accident takes place with the loss of life in which one of the participants of the show was charged.

This show can also instill the advent of street racing by irresponsible parties, especially here in the Pacific Northwest were the import clubs do racing in nearby residential streets with the risk of taking the life of an innocent driver or even a close family member.

I can see NHRA's liability issue if a racer is wearing an NHRA logo on him on in his car. Doing so in the court of law can be construed as implied endorsement by the entity if the show producers have not signed a release of liability with NHRA.
Why isn't Honda, Ford or GM in a law suit from a accident. Why are they still allowed to race on a NHRA track? These cars that are being bought off the showroom are just as fast as race cars on the track and have the logo right on the front of the cars. By some of your guys standards this should apply.

If Vin Diesel (Fast and Furious) or Nicholas Cage (Gone in 60 Seconds) wanted to show up at a National Event, they would probably be asked to be Grand Marshall. Just sayin'.
