NHRA and the "Bo Butner rule"?

To what exactly are you speaking of? I know there was a big to-do about the lack of TV coverage on Bo's car, but have they released something officially and i haven't seen it?

Also, if you look at page 58 in the current National Dragster, theres a picture of the car in question in the Finals.

Some reading for anyone wanting to argue the First Amendment in this situation:

"Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

- - - - -

"MYTH #1: Anyone—even other private citizens—can violate your First Amendment rights.

TRUTH: Often, we hear someone accuse another private citizen of violating his or her First Amendment rights.

If a radio talk show host threatens to cut off a caller, we might hear, “What about my right to free speech? What about my First Amendment rights?” What’s wrong with that question? The First Amendment only applies to government actions. In other words, it protects the citizens from the government. A private organization, like a radio talk show, cannot violate another private citizen’s First Amendment rights."

In addition to everything you say, there is also no First Amendment right to say whatever you want without consequence.

Think you guys are missing the nonprofit part of situation. Same reason NPR can't blatantly say who one should vote for.
I don't think NHRA wants to pay corporate taxes.

What do I know, I'm Canadian.
