No matter which side of this issue you stand on, the NHRA should not have waited 3 years to take action on this.
And I would think that there would have been better ways to approach it. Because right or wrong, the reaction to the NHRA's actions has been overwhelmingly negative.
They may well win the battle but lose the war on this one.
Master, again and still

I think part that is false. The show HAS got many people into the ideal of at least having some type of hot rod that befor never considerd a car/truck anything more then a way back and forth to work. I have a neph. That now wants to buy my 69 satellite tubb it and put a procharged hemi into and take to car show. Mostly because of the street outlaw show. Which up to bout 3 weeks ago (because of me) he had never even heard of the show. Im sure hes not the only one...
You're missing it still. I did not say SO's does not bring new people into the hobby, I'm sure it does.
The point is, our hobby (hot rodding, racing, modifying cars as we wish) is always under the threat of "something", beit laws that outlaw nitrous systems in street cars, laws that forbid engine swaps or vehicle modifications, etc. The glorification of street racing only serves to further burnish the opinions of those that would love to continue to push their anti-racing/hotrodding/whatever agenda on the rest of us.

The letter cited the rule.
I posted the letter the other day, it states no such rule.
The rule cited pertains to actions at NHRA events which clearly S.O. is not.
If NHRA can state Street Outlaws is in violation of their rules then every single wife beater, felon, DUI is just as guilty and must lose their license as well.
Can't have it both ways.
A felony might not be a issue BUT having a legal license does so if you have a DUI and found guilty and they pull your license then its a issue

Sure they can. They make the rules, they enforce the rules, they can interpret the rules as they see fit. They are judge, jury and executioner and are rightfully so.
The offenses you state are ridiculous and have no bearing on the sport of drag racing whatsoever. None of those things, however heinous, reflect poorly on the NHRA as an organization or violate the ethos of the NHRA.

Please cite what laws Street Outlaw participants have broken where they are filming?
The show is shot with the full cooperation of local police and town officials.
NHRA can't have it both ways. They can't dictate what people do in their private life no matter how distasteful.
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand NHRA's point of view. They however miscalculated backlash from racing fans. I have already sent a letter to them and the local tracks stating why I will not be attending any events at NHRA tracks this year.
All I am saying is about the license issue... not all felonies take away your license.. you posted wife beaters... I dont think the NHRA cares.. sure they may not like it.. but it does state you need a legal drivers license

You missed the point- NHRA is trying to punish members for behavior performed outside of NHRA events.
In this case the members in question are doing nothing illegal.
No I didnt miss it.. and I think they over stepped their bounds but I also understand that they dont condone street racing and in the show its "portrayed" to be illegal which can promote illegal street racing which NHRA is against .... just saying
