What about any NHRA license holder that has a DUI, Domestic Violence, rapist, child porn? Should NHRA right letters and threaten these folks? According to the rule and the way its written these people should receive letters also. You pick and chose the ones you want to punish. If your going by the letter of the rule then go by it not when it fits your cause.

I understand what you're saying, and maybe that's where they take it. I don't know. They are headquartered in California.
In this case, though, I think that they did the right thing. Some of those are known guys, and the cars are real. They had to do something.
Everyone's bashing NHRA. Maybe they should be bashing the guys doing the show.
Talk about money. Nobody on that show would care if it was cancelled if they didn't stand to lose money from the deal. Maybe a lot of money. Instead, they place the blame on NHRA for their own decisions.
I'm not surprised one bit. That's the way it goes today. Blame the people enforcing the rules instead of the person breaking them.
