Yeah I know... I grew up on Woodward and I did my
fair share of illegal street racing back then... I
also quit doing it after I lost my license... now days
I wouldnt even think of doing it.. I have a lot more
to loose now days
I did it every night of the week. do I do it now, well, a supercharged BMW idiot thought he had something for me a month ago, right in front of the police station I smoked him

Very true, but after many close calls at a young age and seeing the bad things that can and do happen street racing, some of us grew out of it. I watch the show as a way to get my racing jones satisfied in the off season. The first time one of these dummies gets killed, and it will happen eventually, I'm out. I would rather see them do it on an unprepared race track, there are plenty of those around, JMO.
I'm also not a big fan of how the NHRA treats us like cattle and siphons money out of it's members for no value, but I see and support their point in this instance. Again, JMO

This is NHRA's way of trying to get back the piece of pie they feel they have lost to street racing. Their tactics suck, they can shove it in their a$$ IMO. America is a country of freedom last I checked, and yes our government would love everyone in Prius's, the NHRA wants everyone only to drag race at their tracks period. That is socialist CONTROL mentality, you can do whatever you want as long as it is within "law". If wasn't for outlaws this country wouldn't even exist.....we would be answering to the Queen or speaking German or Russian.
Mopar to the bone!!!

We still have a big issue of street racing in Detroit at night.. and with the streets lined with people.. there have been times when a hand full of people were killed and injured when the guy lost control of the car and mowed down a bunch of people.. thats when the cops show up for a week or so(usually they just move the races to another location)... but it seems that every summer its the same thing

you cant fix stupid. people lining up down the street is not something we ever did. You must admit, the intelligence levels are on the decline, and Im stupid
There was enough people that they lined up a couple
deep.. and always trying to look past the guys next
to them so they get out farther and farther.. then
if something goes wrong they cant even get back quick
enough with people behind them.. the few times I went
to watch I put a good sized tree between the car and
me... but it got so crazy I quit going down there
(the shootings that went along with all the stupidity)

wow 5 pages maybe its just a pr stunt lol
I said earlier that I won't be surprised if this is worked into a future SO storyline.
The show has been on for 3 years and they are just now raising objections?
Me thinks they doth protest too much...

I did my share of street racing.... 12-14 second cars, not what is out there now. Thats the difference folks. It's easy to wad up a 7-8 second ride..especially on the street. That and there are plenty of people who can't drive what they bought or built...just look at the Hellcat. I watch it...because it has cars...but I don't agree with the premise. At least not at my age..lol.

I don't really have a "dog in this fight"...I've never had an NHRA license and doubt I ever will. Years back we used to do a good bit of street racing but it was never when there were a bunch of people around. From an outsiders point of view I can't see how NHRA can dictate what you do when not at an NHRA event. I like watching SO when I catch it...once you sort thru the BS it is entertaining. I can't honestly tell you the last time I sat down to watch the NHRA. The few friends I know that do race regularly all complain about the enormous amount of money and BS that goes on. Again from the outside looking in...if I put you on the trailer this round and you can buy back in only to race me again that to me looks like a money grab. If I'm wrong straighten me out...again I'm on the outside looking in and this is what I've seen. 
...FAFO...

BUY BACKS are a track thing... the NHRA has nothing
to do with that and as far as I know they DONT have
buy backs at any NHRA event

Having had the entire side of my Ram taken out and my wife injured by a street racer running a red light, I support ANYTHING, ANYONE can do to try to put an end to this crap.
