However, it is not a right to belong to NHRA, race at an NHRA event, or participate in the NHRA in any way. Private organizations do this kind of action all the time. Ask Michael Vick, Ray Rice, Pete Rose, Mike Tyson or any other of the many sports figures whose activities in their private life has affected their role in their respective sports organizations. I'm with NHRA on this one.

PETE ROSE BELONGS IN THE HALL!!! Sorry had to be random

When being in a TV show gets you banned from racing with Nhra there's something wrong.

I happen to agree with NHRA on this particular instance, but their credibility stinks.

One of the lines that they post in their letter is that they don't want any detractions from the "family atmosphere" of the sport....yet they had no problem with Courtney Force posing in the buff for ESPN the magazine (yeah, I know, it was to show off her position as a 'athlete') when we all know it was a deal to sell tickets and support the Force-Schumacher show.

They need to become more "Dedicated to Safety" and less about "Championship Drag Racing".
