NHRA and the "Bo Butner rule"?

[Fireofficer5]

If it had been the other side some of you would be coughing up and crapping blood from enlarged prostrates and trying to boycott something.

Who cares, we all know whats going to happen.

When that happens, ill did the holes and spread the lime.

It is their sandbox. NHRA has the right to control all of this - sponsor signage, stickers, graphics, etc. Says so in the rulebook. Just as the NFL, NBA and NASCAR have the right to control what is going in their arenas. Those 3 are making a big mistake, IMO, by ceasing to be an organization for the conduct and well being of their respective sports and becoming a bunch of SJWs. They allowed and condoned their participants to do this and now they are up to their neck in alligators and the conversations there are about everything but their respective on field/track activities. .

As strongly as I feel about this climate of division and who is right and/or wrong, I completely agree with NHRA. Maybe they need to limit the size of stickers or graphics if they are going to allow any of this. I hope they remain neutral, avoid any "declarations" of support for either ideology, limit their political involvement to issues directly effecting drag racing, and just stick to being a drag racing organization. I'm all about being fair and if one can do it, so can the other. The right way to keep one out is to keep all out.

Just remember, if one group can make a big presentation, so can the other. I don't want to see NHRA turned into the dumpster fire that NASCAR and the stick and ball sports have become.

So who knows where the political views lye. Sad time for our country these days.

Trump 2020

I am a 73 year old lifelong Democrat, a hardcore fan since the age of 15 who attends 4 to 6 NHRA events every year at both the National and Divisional level, and a Navy veteran who served for 4 years on a nuclear submarine and 2 submarine rescue ships. I am not an environmentalist; if climate change is happening at all, it is happening due to natural causes. There are many Democrats who don't believe in the radical left; I am one of them.

Well, the NHRA directive is about to be tested. A stock Eliminator car here in BG has Trump/ Pence on both doors in LARGE letters. Also, a prominent super stock racer has 330 TRUMP decals on the way...this is turning into a slippery slope....

Sounds like you more fit into what most republicans believe. You should think about making a change. Glad you enjoy our sport and support it. I thank you for your service to this great country. You would be welcome at my pit area anytime.

I don't get why people are so upset. Why is it so important for people to be able display a Trump/Pence sticker on their car at an nhra event? It's not like you can't still support their campaign.

[TOSTO RACING]

Because everyone is tired of the bull**** whats good for one isn't good for the other. People are so afraid to stand up and say what they feel BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY MIGHT HURT SOMEBODIES FEELINGS OR AFFEND SOMEONE BOOO HOOO who gives a **** if people don't like BO'S CAR THEN DON'T ****ING LOOK AT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its his choice to display what he wants on his car and a damn good display it is !!!!!!!!

Its a sad day when you go to a workplace wearing a T-shirt with an American flag on it and they say you can't wear anything political here? WAIT WHAT, its an AMERICAN FLAG ! Last I checked this is still America !

Yes I'm pissed this **** has got to STOP!

TRUMP INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!

Sept 2 the Phoenix council are getting together to determine if it's ok to paint BLM on one of our streets. I did my civil duty and sent to council a big NO. Goodyear tire does not what Blue or All lives and NHRA does not want Trump signage. So if it's fair for those groups then it's fair us in Phoenix to not allow this.

Most of these city councils have shown how really spineless they are by caving to the mob mentality. I'd be surprised if they didn't allow it. Probably worried about backlash if they don't approve it.
