I haven't street raced in years but I do watch SO when I'm off. I just turn on my BS filter, like on most web sites. IMO the nhra needs to sweep their own door step. Where was everyone when AJ got his DUI, the nhra didn't pull his license. The last I knew driving drunk was dangerous too, and AJ wasn't on a blocked off street.

Honestly, what do the cars we see racing on tv at a nhra event have in common with the cars most people have in their driveways? Not much with mine. Like some have mentioned I'd watch the stock and SS over the pro's if they were on tv. I like the cars on street outlaws, I can identify with them, the nhra no so much.

Doc (The blue Monte Carlo) said on another web sight that he got his letter yesterday and he does not care what NHRA says.He did use alot more graphic language than that though.

All of these cars have raced at Thunder valley or Tulsa at one time or another. The first time I saw farm truck was at T.V. before S.O. I was impressed. Although I think street racing is not very bright everybody has done it at one time or another if only a few feet out from a stoplight. You think all those SRT's and Hellcats will go to a track to test their power. Yeah right.

NHRA was founded on getting racing off the street. They have distanced themselves from that image, insisted on making the terms "street racing" and "drag racing" mean 2 very different things and are protective of the image that's taken them decades to develop.

It's simple. They don't want their stickers or any identification associating them with any car participating in that crap.

Do you guys work for a company? Do they have uniforms or shirts with their name on them? How would they like it if you showed up on COPS busted for DUI wearing their logo?

Pull the stickers off and stop being a d#$%. I'd throw them out too.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

If you want to legislate morality you cannot pick and choose. It would be complete discrimination to do anything else.

Private organization with codes of conduct, just like this forum. Try to say or do something against the rules here or that goes against the culture and what will happen?

There are paragraphs of legalese in the rulebook spelling out that NHRA owns the name and logos. Teams are only allowed to use it "in connection with NHRA racing and events..." Every company in the world is protective of how their logo is used. It's not rocket science.

NHRA is just helping themselves become more and more irrelevant by this move. No win situation....

Oh and that YouTube video? Einfach Herrlich!

"Non of those events you listed have a single pass worth $3500. Also the race in Chicago was $10,000. How many times does it need to be said there cars are set up for the street not the track."

That can be done at the track and I suspect it has been. PLUS you could end up w/ some SWAG a trophy and some additional cha ching at the track. They hold grudge races almost every Friday night. What people bet is on them. I guess I'm spoiled because I live w/in 1.5 hours of 4 tracks.




Now you have them going to a grudge night which is what they do already. That's not your nhra event like you suggested or a true street event. SMH

It is hilarious.




Actually I'd rather watch the NHRA and did this weekend, they even had the lower classes running on ESPN2 3 or 4 can't recall. Much better than watching Donkeys trying to wreck their 100k+ car on some dark narrow back road for $500. 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?




To refresh your memory. See post above.

Three of the main people on Street Outlaws that got a letter from NHRA has posted on yellowbullet that they do not have a NHRA license and they could not care less what they think.
There is already a facebook page named NHRA sucks, I think NHRA has done themselves more harm than good.

We in Michigan have been terrified that the Amish Mafia will take over the Midwest any day now..

This IS just a TV show staged for your entertainment...Real or not...


NHRA will come out of this looking very
foolish...Or maybe its on purpose to get people to return watching drag racing...


1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
