most everyone that has commented has had a bit of cynicism.. for the wrong reasons.. just blame the lawyers.. if NHRA had not said something, it would be much easier to possibly win a large settlement in a frivolous suit..Thgink back to what we call stupid lawsuits.. each one , win or lose costs you and I a penny , nickel di9me, open, space, personal right, or racetrack... a motorcycle custom part manufacturer many years ago was sued by a fool that crashed his bike, the handlebar folded back and penetrated the fool's leg.. Result? lawsuit...The rider's lawyer got the manufacture they sued to settle before trial.. trouble was the settlement was like extortion.. the plaintiff was NOT the manufacturer of the bar.. but it was cheaper to settle before trial.. there are thousands of cases... and thousands of millionaire lawyers as a result..
how about a top fuel car that crashes due to a bad tire? No question.. sue the tire manufacture, distributor, chassis builer and, and, and the racetrack... It happens ... NHRA is using lawyer talk to keep other lawyers away.. and possibly keep them afloat .. without certain things like arangements for affordable insurance etc, we would not have ANY tracks..I have no doubt in my mind if any thing bad happened on that set NHRA would be drug into it.... That is the way the machine works...It is not the first time a sanctioning body has tried what some might call heavy handed tactics.. |

NHRA did not threaten the cast of the show. All NHRA did was say that if you participate in this show, you are not welcome in our races. No one has a right to race in NHRA events and NHRA, like any private organization, has the right to choose who it does business with as long as it does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion or gender.
