Quote: My .02, Unless I'm mis-reading something here (which I may be)...
When you SIGN a license (be it NHRA, FISHING, DRIVER's, etc.) you are VOLUNTARILY Agreeing and binding yourself to comply with all the rules and regulations stipulated in that "contract"....in exchange for the privilege of carrying that license. The Licensing Party therefore has the right and responsibility to CALL YOU OUT ON IT IF YOU ARE IN WILLFUL or otherwise) VIOLATION OF THAT CONTRACT. Maybe that's not cool, and it's not convenient but nonetheless....they are THE RULES....Am I missing something?
A signature, a man's word, a handshake used to mean something in my day....And if you don't like the rules or can't or can no longer comply with them....DON'T SIGN the [Email]D@MN[/Email] THING! By the same token if THEY Change the rules you are really no longer bound to them...unless they re-issue an amended contract for you to sign.
If you don't like the rules, or feel strongly that they need to be amended, then Man up and fight to change them. Don't blame the agency for "singling you out" by reminding you that you are stepping across a line you agreed not to cross.
I'm NOT TAKING THE NHRA's side on this, I'm simply stating that it is a License, and with any binding contract people need to think about things before they sign into them. Can you (are you willing to?) live up to your end of the deal?To me it's the same as signing for a loan, or (getting real old school here) shaking hands with someone on a deal.
This is all fine and good and I agree.
I haven't seen the language contained in whatever section sub section and paragraph number that NHRA seems to think these guys are in violation of but if it specifies illegal racing activities then they the NHRA are SOL if what I am reading here is fact.
From what I can gather here (I haven't seen the show. I'm not a fan of fake reality ) these so called street races are actually held on a closed course ie the street is closed to the public so that would make it a de facto sanctioned by whoever owns the street, event. So much for illegal street racing.
Now if the language is like NASCAR's catch all clause "actions detrimental to stock car racing" they MIGHT have cause to punch your ticket but I think they would have a hard time showing what the detriment is.
