Not to start a s***storm, but since there is so minimal "corporate/mainstream" broadcasting currently available of stock and superstock racing, the only decent source for video is what you racers post. Within the big corporate realm, what am I missing?

I love the videos you folks post!

WANKERS!!

What if a fan posts that has a restricted area pass or even from the stands?

What's the penalty here or if it's a racer doing it? I got in trouble a fews years back with me 'hood cam' in Sonoma, (everybody loved that one) then it got put into the rule book the next year condemning video?????? At the time I was told it conflicted with ESPN, I said, well show some real action from the Sportsman, obviously corporate BS!!!

So exactly what does this mean -

The NHRA Rulebook, section 1.9 and 1.10, pages 25-26, cover this and related subjects. To sum it up, shooting video at the track other than for competition/analytical purposes is strictly prohibited.

If I read this correctly, I can take video of MY vehicle for competition or analytical purposes, as long as I follow section 1.9 and 1.10 of the rule book, but I can't share it with any one. Does that about sum it up?

"Any reuse or retransmission of any video taken at Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series events without the express written permission of the NHRA is strictly prohibited!"

Translation: our most valuable franchise asset is racing footage. YouTube is a mortal threat to that asset. Don't you dare put your video on there.

Very smart move to get ahead of this in the age of everyone with GoPros posting "extreme in-car" footage and the like. From a corporate sense, I mean.

No different than the NFL, same business model. Footage pays off forever, the gate money is one and done.

Come on don't we have any lawyer racers on here? Sportsman video is video footage of racers who paid an entry fee to be there so in turn, shouldn't you need the racer's permission to video instead of sanctioning body? How can it be proven that all who watch the youtube videos aren't watching them for analytic purpose? The videographer (is that a word?) posting the videos is not getting paid by youtube so he is not really doing anything wrong?

We aren't taking precious footage of the full throttle series so go ahead and sell that crap on DVD. Maybe they know my DVR can't keep up with sportsman racing because high school girls lacrosse gets broadcast over half the episode it so I am forced to purchase! Very-well, I'll give you 50 cents for the last 2 minutes of each sportsman broadcast. Send me my dvd!

On the other hand, the "broadcasting services" webpage they posted hasn't been updated since 2006 so I guess they figured they needed a quick new way to make some dough and some eager exec came through.

It's not too late ---> http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/n...tsmancoverage/

Talking Re: Video at NHRA events

This is not really new. It's been on the back of a spectator ticket for years that any pictures/video shot is the property of the NHRA.

Guy I know who works on a small time fuel team took pictures of Antron losing the wheel a few years ago and posted them on a motorcycle board we are on. NHRA made him take them down and got all the copies of them.

No different than shooting video at a concert or ball game.

I went to a baseball game a few years ago I was shooting some videos. A guard aproached me and said if I didn't stop they would confiscate my camera.
So this is nothing new. Just legal mumbo-jumbo.

Just another dose of NHRA putting a bad taste in the racers mouths...so now we have nothing to look forward to except their crappy website while a race is going on....best part was seeing videos from random folks at the race.....just looked up the NHRA cell phone app....WOW !!!!!!...read the reviews on that one !!!!.....not one good thing to say and some posts are from fans demanding their money back...I for one am enjoying not spending with them more and more....they are so out of touch with their core audience....what more will NHRA do to drive us away.....time will tell !!!!

Ps.....Had a blast at the East Coast Stock/Super Stock Association race last weekend !!!

This would include guys like Rob Jackson who does a super job with videos.
To me this is petty considering NHRA does not show any significant "little guy" sportsman classes on TV. Just another example of NHRA's "attitude"
