Late to the party... but that Street Outlaws show is Stupid with a capital "S".

The NHRA was created to give street racers a way to race safely.

The NHRA has never come down on street racers on such a scale in the past because it has never been made as public as the Street Outlaw TV show, which has created an "in your face" type situation.

For the NHRA to remain silent about it would give the impression that street racing is done with the NHRA's consent. They really have no choice but to oppose it in some manner.

In my younger days I raced both ways. But if I had to choose between attending / participating in a "Street Outlaws" staged-soap-opera reality-show "race" or an NHRA event, I would stick to racing at the track.... and it wouldn't bother me if "Farmtruck" wasn't there.
