Jim,

the key word you used in your last post is "accused".

The court of public opinion, media, commissioners, employers, or whoever seem to have started confusing the term accused with guilty. If you are proven guilty, then you are more that likely guilty. If you are simply accused, that in no way means you are guilty...until proven so by court, company investigations, etc. My problem is that too many organizations jump to conclusions based upon someone's opinion, media pressure, or are just on a power trip and assume you are guilty just because you are accused.

If the guys on Street Outlaws were employees of NHRA, it would be one thing, but they are customers of NHRA. As a matter of fact, people who are members of NHRA pay to do so, and since NHRA or IHRA certainly do not pay us to race, why do you think they can tell someone what to do while not at an official event? I am not condoning street racing in any manner, but it seems as though NHRA has brought more interest to it after they made the poor choice to call out those who were participating in the show.
