IHRA has a pretty big pond too...I would think they could come and swim in that.

MR P Body.. Hey Mike didn't know you when I was racing boats back in the ( old days ) 80's to early 90's..Raced in MI and a lot in FL...You'd be surprised that a lot of those street racers wouldn't step foot in the drag or offshore boats,, just like I don't want any part of their street racing..NHRA should get their own house in order before telling others what to do..PICs a couple of my old boats OK for some reason I can't load more than one pic sorry

I don't care for the show, the only real draw is the cars not the drama.
What the show does do is this, its gets people interested in racing. I am sure there has been many car covers pulled off that haven't been touched in years just because this show rekindled some interest.
In the end I think the show is a positive for US the racers as it causes interest. NHRA could have handled this differently, and I am sure they are wishing they did.

As far as NHRA even making their statement,,I wonder what they would say if someone accused them of being the reason people are street racing??? I bet they would have said "we weren't aware of any such thing". NOW,,it's obvious they are aware and not happy with it!! I agree with another poster,,need NHRA stickers on those cars along with the other 'contingency' decals some are wearing,,and T-shirts and other 'plugs' that get sneaked in there!! ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

If the NHRA pulls anyone's license, let's start a CrowdFund to support a lawsuit against the NHRA. As has been mentioned, the races on S.O. actually have local L.E. approval, so they are not as outlaw as either they or the NHRA would have us believe. It would be interesting to hear what the courts would have to say about that. And besides, the NHRA should not have the final say. What is it with all these organizations getting ahead of law enforcement? NFL, NBA, etc, all suspend or worse BEFORE there is any legal resolution. What happened to innocent UNTIL PROVEN guilty? In the case of S.O., there may not even be a real case of criminal street racing. Isn't that a decision for the local cops? Here's my $20 to go after the NHRA if they suspend anyone's license.
Master, again and still

its the same on both levels.dangerous for sure.but as with any sport you accept the risk.the late lee shepherd was killed and thrown from the car not wearing a belt.the nhra brass have no say whatsoever on your personal freedom off their sites.that is discrimination.its okay to be a convicted felon and drag race.whats the difference?both are breaking the law on their own terms away from nhra.maybe they need to change to nkra...north korean racing association....what you do at or away from their events is two different worlds.period.why on earth would you have to follow their rules and guidlines away from a race or event?thats communism at its best.as americans,there isnt a chance in hell we will stand for that.....

So those of You whom are so selfrightous about watching the stupid contrived 'street outlaw' program feel better? In my opinion the show is pitched to the stupid who believe that drag racing is all about racing (or crashing) on public roads in Oklahoma. Talk to real Bracket Racers,.. Most feel the show is weak and staged and phony as to any real race value. If those cars are so unique or fast or ???? Have them go to a track and time the damn things or have them actually compete against other 'fast' but safety certified real race cars. This plays to the non-reality shows the public lsps up. You guys keep bad mouthing NHRA all You want but Your premier 'nostalgia' races like the March Meet aare at NHRA Tracks as the track safety is there. How many ambulances You have out there in Oklahoma or anywhere else the morons race? The is s a hollywood made up [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] series the dumb have become addicted to,... nothing more. How many of You critics of NHRA actually race? Boats need not answer but I know You believe You are the worlds authorities on everything from Your comments.
You really believe they don't have safety/emergency equipment on the set of this show? Just because they aren't shown on tv, I find it very hard to believe they would take that chance.

I am sure they have a ambulance and safety people on site, They also are NOT on the street as they say, The area where they race is closed to the public, Do you notice they do not have any spectators other than the car owners and their crew/family on the set? It is a TV show! these cars are NOT street cars, they have slicks, rollbars, huge motors etc..They are full blown race cars. NHRA is BORING who gives a rats behind over Top Fuel and Funny cars where 1/2 of them don't even make it to the finish line. NHRA treats the slower racers like crap.If you don't like street outlaws don't watch it. Apparently Discovery Channel has lots of viewers or it wouldn't be on the air
