you guys have no clue really on what's going on. All the NHRA said was if they keep Promoting illegal street racing they will lose their licenses. They just need to distance themselves from this unreality tv show that's promoting something illegal. The SO guys can keep doing what it is they do they just won't be able to have a nhra lic. Most of them don't anyway so for them its no big deal. Also if they really cared about their lic. they would have gave those letters to their laywers NOT POSTED THEM ON THE INTERNET to get social media buzzing for more attention. Why is this so hard for most of you to grasp?

For the guy with the quick solution of not racing NHRA you obviously do not have a real race car or you would have never made such a stupid statement. Besides all of the screwed up stuff you feel they do they do bring insurance, track safety, racer safety, race car safety to the front. They also have enough clout to keep your street cars from getting run over by the government.

I really wish some of you would think before making kneejerk replies on the internet.

THIS^^^

I do promotional stuff with the "West Coast Super Cops"... So, I would take the stance that NHRA takes. Trying to make Illegal Street Racing glamorous to kids is wrong.. Enough problems already with the video games and "Fast N Furious" crap. Not to mention texting and driving..

Anyway, here is a good read from Mike Murillo..

http://www.dragzine.com/news/heads-up-racer-mike-murillo-address-nhras-letter-to-street-outlaws/

When asked what he thought about the letter, and what it said, Murillo responded: “I think what they’re doing is wrong, but it’s not worth it for me to give up my NHRA license.” Murillo hates to take that stance, because it appears he’s caving in to the NHRA, but there’s too much on the line for him. Murillo has too much invested to risk losing his license.

“I just hope they can come up with a resolution where people don’t lose their competition licenses. It’s not fair to the guys on the show. The racing on the show takes place in a closed environment — there’s no crowd, EMS and fire are on the property; it’s not right to rip these guys’ licenses because of a reality show,” he adds. In other words, it’s not what everyone thinks of when people say street racing.

It does take place on a public road, but the roads are shut down for the night while filming takes place. “If they were truly out street racing, I would 100-percent agree with the NHRA’s stance,” Murillo says. He told us the show even has tech officials who look over every car before being allowed to participate. “The racing is real,” Murillo says, “but it’s TV. It’s way different than what people think of as street racing.”

The NHRA is OK is you're a "reformed" street racer turned "legit" (like at least one of their former Pro Stock Champions), but doesn't want any perceived connection made between street racing and the NHRA in any form.

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.

I only read far enough to see this stupid post. I say stupid, because you have NO CLUE of what you are speaking on. Every one of these cars meets safety specs for the ETs they run. They also race in a "controlled environment" with a full safety crew and medical personnel on site. Every car was safety inspected and stickered, by get this, an NHRA tech guy. Now while I have personally chided some of the guys for being out "testing" without all their safety gear on, that does NOT fly on the actual "race night" when the full production crew is on the controlled site.

And these cars are raced on the track at times, as they ALL test at tracks at various times, to gather data. You don't think they are fast, that's your opinion, which I will state is also WRONG.

Also I feel sure I can speak for the guys on the show, by saying they could care less what "some" bracket racers think of the show.

As for NHRA..........these hypocrites should get their OWN house in order, before they even attempt to criticize someone else. It's just a grandstanding ploy, because the show is kicking their butts in the ratings. Seems to have backfired on them.

If you can't find the email address on your own you might want to rethink sending them hate mail.

No sense sending an Email as it will get dumped with the other 10K.
