What's the matter, NHRA, you afraid that more eyeballs are watching their show and creating more buzz on the internet than the almighty NHRA?

i believe what we have here,is a failure to communicate.nhra does not own the world nor have a right to dictate your "freedom" off their property.if they believe that they do.bring it.wally parks started nhra to bring street racers a place to go.nhra is driving racers away for obvious reasons.i guess when you have "businessmen" running the program instead of racers you tend to LOOSE TOUCH with reality.eventually they will run themselves into the grave.i am pretty sure wally has reached warp speed spinning in his grave.R.I.P.....

probably more lawyers doing their part and "protecting" the franchise.

seriously though, with all the reality TV out there, there can't be one legit drag racing one? they failed on the PR department big time.

If any of the " competitors " on the show are licensed as NHRA drivers , that is what will be in jeopardy.
I can see the sense of the posture they are taking , but it does reek of a cash grab.

its nhra's license and their terms,BUT,exactly what does their license have to do with your freedom away from nhra events.thats where the fight will come to a boil.the extent of their "REACH" beyond their property and events.i think this will be an expensive barnbuster.im not a lawyer,but i play one in front of my ex-wife....

What's next? The DMV pulling your license for drag racing at an NHRA track?

I don't see how they can try to change somebody's behavior when they aren't at the NHRA sanctioned track. Does NHRA not benefit from increased or remaining interest in motorsports in general and Drag Racing specifically? I watch the show occasionally - and it gets me jazzed about getting to the track. Never once did it make me think I was going to go out street racing, or even think about it. Just a dumb knee-jerk reaction to a TV show that has ZERO reflection on NHRA Drag Racing at all.

The NHRA has already done their best to make the general public think that Drag Racing is ONLY the pro categories - because that's about all they put on TV. I see people all the time that can't believe I can take something I drive on the street and race it at the track - because all they know about it is the Pro ranks that get TV coverage. They had no idea that there was actually Sportsman racing that less-funded "regular" people could get into. No wonder the sport is dying off. Nobody knows THEY THEMSELVES can get into it!

One thing is for sure.... trying to kill off a TV show about cars is NOT the way to get more participants at the track!

http://www.dragzine.com/news/street-outlaws-participants-face-nhra-license-suspension/

It appears we’re not the only people who watch Street Outlaws on Discovery Channel. Most of us enjoy it because it actually has something to do with cars, but it seems the NHRA isn’t a fan.

We have received news that several participants that either currently have NHRA licenses, or those that have applied for a license, will be denied, or have their license indefinitely suspended for either participating in the show, or inquiring about being on the show. The NHRA says such street racing puts “participants, spectators, the unknowing public, and first responders – at great risk,” according to a document from the NHRA.

slack-imgs.comThe NHRA writes, “The NHRA was founded in 1951 by Wally Parks in an effort to provide an alternative for drag racing enthusiasts who were, at that time, racing illegally on public streets.” That original thought remains one of NHRA’s primary missions, to provide a safe place for people to drag race. The NHRA adds that the show Street Outlaws goes against that premise.

In short, the NHRA stands strongly against any kind of illegal street racing, whether staged, or if two cars happen to be at the same stop light. Not only that; but also the promotion of street racing like what takes place on the show.

The NHRA cites illegal street racing goes against its Section 1.3.1, Participant Conduct within the 2015 NHRA Rulebook. And as mentioned above, one’s NHRA license may be indefinitely suspended if a member is found to be participating in illegal street racing. This is no doubt, a strong stance by the NHRA, but it feels the safest place to drag race is at an NHRA-sanctioned track with the proper safety gear and personnel on hand to handle incidents they’re trained to address.

Show stars Mike Murillo and Jon Andrade Jr. have already confirmed their letters via Facebook.

participate conduct,does that apply away from events?nope.not unless they start doing background checks and the like.thats discrimination.a person with a criminal record can drag race.even though that person commited an illegal act...this could go on forever...
