I believe you are incorrect. NHRA wants nothing to do with the show. and I applaud them for that. NHRA was created to keep racing off the street, and they need to uphold that standard. Flying NHRA decals, numbers and class designation (T/S of coarse) while street racing on national tv (fake or real, doesn't matter) is detrimental to there brand. end of story.

The way I see it. Paul Walker dying saved more people from dying. It saved at least 1 family being plowed into at 100+ MPH. It brought a wakeup call to people who thought street racing was cool, by killing one of their idols. He made like 7 movies in that series. It was pretty much his whole acting career. He glamorized it, and then got to experience first hand what multiple people did that were inspired by him. end of story.
