IMO, NHRA is mad about the television exposure Street Outlaws are getting.

Here's an example. Kingman Street Drags in Kingman, AZ. I believe it started in 2001, they ran around 9 races on main street Kingman. It was well advertised at the NHRA tracks & other media. While it got plenty of exposure, but only got a little television exposure at one of the ending events.

There was plenty of NHRA racer's/vehicles participating all them years from CA. NV. AZ. & I'm sure other states.

While it was very popular, it wasn't close to Street Outlaw's popularity.

We were racing on the street, practically in NHRA's Headquarters' backyard. Did they do anything about that, not that I know of! Same situation, but way less media exposure. Sounds pretty hypocritical on NHRA's part.

This is just my opinion, not that it matters.
