Getting new people into drag racing is what has to happen for the survival of the hobby we all love.
It seems to me that there is another thread (the new licensing rules) going that shows the NHRA is finally realizing this also.
Is the show fake? I don't know. Is it going to make me race on the street? No. Just because others do things that are in the grey area of the law doesn't mean everyone will.
Here in Oregon I can now get stoned out of my mind and it is ok in the eyes of the law here. The Feds on the other hand say it is still a bad thing. Sort of the same thing.
