Although many of us may not agree with the rule changes and policies from NHRA, the association was created to provide a safe place and environment for racing.

Like Sammy said, every time there is an accident or crash involving the loss of life due to racing in the streets, the first statement used by the news media is "Drag Racing".

It is interesting that after NHRA issued the admonishment, an accident takes place with the loss of life in which one of the participants of the show was charged.

This show can also instill the advent of street racing by irresponsible parties, especially here in the Pacific Northwest were the import clubs do racing in nearby residential streets with the risk of taking the life of an innocent driver or even a close family member.

I can see NHRA's liability issue if a racer is wearing an NHRA logo on him on in his car. Doing so in the court of law can be construed as implied endorsement by the entity if the show producers have not signed a release of liability with NHRA.
