You give up all of your rights when you enter any NHRA event

Too bad NHRA can't see the potential,
Many folks see genuine organized Drag Racing for the first time because of good videos posted on sites like YouTube. Then they want to talk about it with people actually involved, get involved themselves then show up in the stands to get a good dose, to the benefit of everyone. |

Hello Everyone. It is true, I asked for starting line credentials today and was given them to video, then when they realized it was video(they were'nt listening?) they stopped me. I contacted the NHRA like I did two years ago when I got permission to continue doing what I was doing, this time they just quoted me All Access. When I asked a couple of questions on what I could do to be within NHRA guidelines I was told there was nothing I could do. I was told and I quote, "I could go on NHRA.com and click on the link, sign the appropriate paperwork requesting permission for an event, and it would then be denied!" I then found out I made Glendora's watch list as of January this year! I'm so proud! So what I'm going to do for this event is post on YouTube unlisted for my own enjoyment, and maybe if my friends ask, I'll supply the link. We'll see. ;-)

Sounds like "overreaching" regulations, just like EPA!

Speaking of which, got this the other day
It was in response to the petition that was on here a while back. May 27, 2016 Dear Mr. Jones: Thank you very much for contacting me regarding H.R. 4715, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter and I welcome the opportunity to respond. As you may know, H.R. 4715 would amend the Clean Air Act to block the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating modified motor vehicles, which can be used for racing and different activities. You may be pleased to know that the EPA announced it was dropping proposed language that would have prevented amateur drivers from converting street cars into race cars. The proposed language was part of a rule introduced by EPA in 2015. Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate hearing from you and ask that you keep me informed on matters of concern to you in the futu Sincerely, ROSA L. DeLAURO Member of Congress RLD/mg |

Rob and All
I am reading this after a busy day of doing something other than racing with NHRA. It seems to me, you are a great media representative. NHRA gets an unpaid genius working for free, and then ban him! >W-T-F< Rob, If they really want to help themselves, and the racers, they would give you an air conditioned suite, and full fiber optic internet. You are as good as they get. I filmed some classic racing in the old days, and can tell everyone, that a camcorder isn't the best way to watch racing. Your sacrifice is most appreciated, I can't believe you do it for free! NHRA doesn't have many paid workers humping it harder than you do. Your quality is outstanding, and they should be kissing your butt, and comp-ing you like a new soda CFO king pin. In today's new media age, everyone is a reporter, but most average Joe's are lousy at that. With video, it only matters if you got the shot. NHRA has a great product in the class cars, but they don't market it. Oh and shame on anyone promoting it. It looks like another year of stupid from the new Glendora, same as the old Glendora! ex NHRA member Last edited by Don Sofranko; 05-29-2016 at 09:47 AM. Reason: spelling |

No sir! Whatever laws (Federal & state) that are in place in the state you are in is what you and NHRA must adhere to. NHRA can not supersede state and Federal law. Your rights do vary depending on the state. NHRA would like to have you think that they are the law makers but they are just hoping you won't call them on it! Jim
