NHRA and the "Bo Butner rule"?

[Bruce Noland]

Knock off all this lousy demagoguery! A person would think this board is full of whining little Trumpets. NHRA can not by law or by its own charter engage in any form of political advocacy. NHRA must control every word on the grounds of it's race tracks to avoid losing its's not for profit status, and that includes what is written on the side of our cars. In my 72 years on this planet I have never seen such whining from grown men. Many of you guys are so damn paranoid that you can't understand that there are important rules that NHRA must abide by if it wants to stay in business.

It's ok to knock the messenger but how about debating what I posted. Stay on topic.

Kenny,
I respectfully request that this thread be moved to the Lounge or other.

I believe that Bruce is correct, in that NHRA has the right to do this at their ballgame.
Now, the question is, will it include these fake, communist backed political outfits ,that try to disguise themselves as advocacy groups.. We shall see.
This is where Goodyear went wrong, and it cost them.

The way it is going, we will have to take RFC off our cars so we don't hurt some POS snowflakes feelings.

Nah most of us nonreligious types don't really care. In fact most of us support the idea of believing whatever you want.

I am not sure that an individual racer's promotion of his candidate of choice falls under the Department of Treasury's guidelines that you are referring to for non profit organizations. The Department of Treasury has provided some clarity on what they consider prohibited activities and I don't see where someone like Butner's car or anyone else would put their status at risk according to their guidance.

Please clarify within their guidance that you think their non profit status would be at risk or where this would fall.

Bruce,
