NHRA claimed the issue was their comp numbers and NHRA stickers being seen on TV. I'd bet several watchers don't even know what the numbers mean, and stickers can be blurred. It would have been easier for NHRA to ask Discovery to blur numbers and logos. If they can blur butts and boobs on naked and afraid, logos should not be an issue........

Chief with some straight talk !!
And this quote from the people who did the interview is exactly the sort of thing that makes the NHRA's collective head want to explode:
"We love the show and what it has done for the drag racing community in general. You guys are bringing grudge racing into the spotlight, showing a lot of people a side of drag racing that was not often seen. I think it’s great what you guys have done for the sport."

Which begs the question, why then aren't they blurred?
Usually the way this works is the owner of the trademark pays a fee to have their trademarks displayed or they get blurred. No free advertising on TV.
The other scenario is if the trademark can be used to promote the show somehow, then the money flows the other way or the TM holder signs a release giving the show permission to use it ie for mutual benefit. No release, blurred logos.
One phone call from NHRA makes the logo get blurred so?

Doc posted on the bullet, that nhra approached Pilgram Productions in season 2ish wanting a cut of the pie and Pilgrim told them to stuff it, GTFO.
If true, it's a woman (nhra) scorned type deal. Nice retaliatory actions.
If that is true it kinda blows their it's all about anti street racing position out of the water.
Just another hooker didn't get paid pi$$ing match.

All that NHRA would have had to do is send the letter saying that they NHRA disproves of promoting street racing and that the racers should remove the NHRA decal and numbers from any of the race cars. Simple enough. I think every one could see their point. Now it's blown all out of proportion , were going to pull your license, were not going to let you run a NHRA tracks, were not going to let you run at NHRA tracks even if you don't belong to NHRA. That being said, what about CHUCK? I think he's the guy that wears the KICKER shirt all the time. Is KICKER a sponsor of his? do they { KICKER ] promote street racing? Just a though, who else wears the same shirt in each show.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I see this as a attention getter on the SO guys. If I had gotten this letter from NHRA I would not have posted it on the interweb. I would have just sent it to my laywer. Seems all of the internet nuthuggers are doing just what they want you to do, TUNE in and get them more ratings.

Read Murillo's interview. These guys knew this was coming and chose to ignore it.
