NHRA regulates off track behavior.........

jwsamuel · 03-09-2015, 06:26 PM

If a drag racer gets caught molesting a child, would it be okay for NHRA to tell him to stay away from the track? Or would that be a case of NHRA regulating off-track behavior?

Just wondering what, if any, off track behavior os okay for NHRA to block from the races.

Darrell Alderman was suspended by NHRA for a year, regarding his substance abuse issues.

Actually, two years, Jerry (he sat out 1992 and '93) for cocaine.

This is no different than other major sports leagues (NFL, NHL, MLB etc) that punish players for off-field legal/behavior issues. I don't see any issue with what NHRA did.

I would ask him personally to quit drag racing completely.

I agree. In an environment that children are present, the person should be allowed in the premises.

Its IHRA but there is a loser out in NC that is banned for this exact reason. And I agree with it.

Yes, he's on the suspended list "indefinitely"

I agree. So then, the question becomes what off track behavior can NHRA (or IHRA) use as a basis for barring drivers from racing?

Sexual abuse? I think we would all agree with that. Spousal abuse? Dealing drugs? Drunk driving? Robbery? Street racing?

Overall in society, companies, organizations, media, and the public seem to have forgotten we have a legal system to deal with these issues. Some might argue, but the US legal system is the best in the world. (Just ask Amanda Knox about the Italian system).I would just like to see us let the courts/legal system play out before any organization or our employers think they need to take action. Take the recent situation with Kurt Busch for example: He has been through the legal system in Delaware now and was not charged. He is free and clear to go on with life, but the know it all people running NASCAR have him on some sort of BS reinstatement program. Why does NASCAR feel that is necessary when he has done nothing that warrants criminal prosecution?
God forbid if any one of us got into a bad situation, wouldn't you all just like to have your day in court as opposed to having a few people at NHRA, the media, or someone like the NFL Commissioner decide your fate when a jury of your peers finds you did nothing wrong?
