Maybe they should come out east and do some running...
Refer back to what I said about costs. They have to get through how many cars to get that money? That fuel and nitrous isn't free, right?
I think they've got a good thing going and there's no reason to mess it up just because some starched shirt opened a can of worms.
Like I said they can get side action if need be. In the last episode the dude with the truck spent a ton of money on the dyno to get it right. I doubt one night at the track is going to set them back much more.
I don't know, even if I had a fast car, I don't see myself dragging my butt out in the middle of the night to run down a narrow street w/ another car 3 feet from my door and some dude w/ a flashlight right between us. To me that doesn't describe smart or fun.
I'd much rather see those guys at a track running it the entire 1/4 mile w/o all the drama.

To post one statement instead of hundreds of replies. no I did not get a letter from NHRA. Because I let my license go 10 years ago. The only time I heard from them was when it was time to pay up! They always looked down their nose at us small people that just loved to race so i got away from them. It's a business for them. They have safety obligations to uphold but in the end it's all business and that means BIG MONEY! You guys need to understand it use to be about the people and getting them off the streets. Over the years it has changed to how dobi get
More than my 800,000.00 dollar salary before bonus's. It's marketing and power. Hundreds of millions of not billions of dollars are made in the car industry and they have a finger in the pie. So it saddens me that the 800,000.00 income isn't enough. I thought that there would be classes created for people like us because the little people out number the big people. But at the end of the day the big people is where they get their money so little people don't matter. This is part what has made me who I am. The little people will suffer from the big people pushing them around. I do understand their stand point of get off the streets I really do. But when it cost me 1,000.00 plus to go watch an event for three days I'm out. Can't justify it. Some people can and will and that's why they make 800,000.00 a year. So congratulations to the high ups of NHRA on their accomplishments.

Street racing it is with Farm Truck and Azn"s VW. Even that the cops are in on it. ever try to put a video camera in a cops face durning a traffic stop? I did the street racing thing back in the 60"s when there was no track to go to, a lot of us did. When a local track [ 60 miles away ] was built that was the end for me, but as the street outlaws do, I did go out and test. 
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I was watching I think this show called "Americarna" w/ Ray Everham as the host. He was with Don Prudhomme racing a couple of old street rods side by side down a two lane road. I guess they're only Human. As far as NHRA on the tube. I'll watch sportsman racing (stock, super stock, comp, etc.)all day long if it was on TV.

And all this time I thought NHRA only cared about John Force.....Seems there just jealous that Some Street Action is getting better ratings then themselves....Street racing is like rock and roll it will never die.....
Everything gets better ratings than NHRA!!! Don't they actually have to pay ESPN for there production cost or something like that?

[I mean really the biggest bet was $3500. If these guys are so good and fast why not show up at an NHRA event and take the trophy and some serous cash home?
How much could they really make at an NHRA event? I honestly have no idea but know costs have to be higher and suspect the purse for a single win isn't near $3500.
Never forget, they are also paid just for being on the show. That's where the money is.
Some of the pay outs around here on Friday and Sat-nights can get pretty high. Especially for the OPS and Real Street cars. It's 1/8 mile so it's right up their ally. These are heads up events Capitol Raceway has regular top ET payouts of $3000. And of course there is plenty of side action, if one were to need it. May 2nd they have a "Top of the Hill" showdown, $5000.00 top ET class. Maybe they should come out east and do some running...
Mr Yuck I am going to poke you a little. In your words you said " And of course there is plenty of side action if one were to need it" That's illegal and you should be banned from NHRA right????  These guys from Street Outlaws are laughing at NHRA right now. They don't need NHRA. 
Oh I don't think NHRA has a leg to stand on here. Unless some of the guys are in some sort of series, and even if so as long as they cover up any NHRA logos/numbers they should be able to do what they like. As far as side action, that's been going on longer than I've been alive. I had a guy buy me a Chilli dog and large iced tea, said he just won $250 on me.. I know what goes down at the track. If those guys want action, they can do it at the track as well. Although some of them might have a hard time passing the NHRA physical I'm guessing.

Kudos to NHRA. They do a lot of things that don't make much sense. But they had to do something here. To say this is a rights violation is a stretch. It's a privelege. And I highly doubt NHRA ever takes the action to suspend these guys. Even if they do they could still show up to most anywhere and still race. NHRA brass won't bd policing every member track. Too, this wasn't an off the cuff decision. I'm sure they experienced a lot of political pressure as it "appears" they support illegal racing. Ford, Chevy, Mopar, AAA, etc... You think they don't have pull in this decision. Be safe this year.
