Yes, NHRA likes money....
But, NHRA cannot be associated with anybody who promotes street racing. Fake or Real, doesn't matter. NHRA doesn't care about a youtube video with 5k views. They care about a group of people, who NHRA is associated with, actively promoting an idea that is directly contrary to NHRA's very existence. Would you want an American citizen to keep his Citizenship if he went to fight for ISIS? An extreme example, but on the exact same lines. This is the first time NHRA has done this, and its only because its directly contrary to their mission. I cannot see this going any further into DUI's and other arrest, unless you get on National TV clearly representing affiliation with NHRA and promoting drunk driving.

Hi,
The best way to tell how people will act in the future, is to look at the way they have acted in the past....
I am happy the you feel comfortable with NHRA doing the right thing like a benevolent dictator, but I look at NHRA as having no rudder or direction
The only reason that NHRA might be associated with street racing and Street Outlaws is because NHRA wanted to be associated with Street Outlaws because of the press and coverage this dust up has caused......
Street Outlaws doesn't give a crap about NHRA, all they care about is ratings....
Maybe NHRA might learn something. But I doubt it
On another note...
I have come up with a plan to increase the quality of the NHRA Executive Staff...... Prior to being hired they must be able to state the firing order of any engine………How many would have job right now....Don’t get me wrong there are many smart and talented employees at NHRA but they are hopelessly outnumbered by higher up Executives, who make policy and don’t have a clue…
I race NHRA because it’s the Big Leagues and now they are acting bush league……….
They should mark the years with a BW and an AW, because when Wally passed away it turned into a different NHRA....
