NHRA is not regulating anybodies off-track behavior anyway. They are regulating who races with them. Fully within their rights. And street racing is stupid. Cars are much faster than they were when NHRA started, and there is much more traffic. Fifteen seconds flat was not a real slow street car back then. In 1962 I held the track record at the Tulsa North Airport track with my '56 Chevy at 15.10, 92 MPH. You can buy new pickup trucks faster than that now. Cars weren't all that fast when Wally may have raced on the street.
