Re: Street Outlaws on Discovery....

The problem is that NHRA is doing exactly the opposite. I understand they've been threatening to pull the sanction from tracks that allow outlaw and grudge style racing. Doesn't quite fit with the "NHRA wants to stop street racing" meme, but goes well with my "NHRA wants their cut of the action" theory. Sending threatening letters to Murillo\Lutz\Andrade, et al, isn't new behavior on the part of the NHRA, but it blew up in their face because these guys decided to go public.
Anyway, I'm not condoning street racing; it is dangerous and that's why I don't do it anymore. My outrage has less to do with street racing and more to do with the NHRA's hypocrisy. That said, I do enjoy the show and I'm looking forward to next week. I've been jonesing to see Chief's Goat and Murillo's notch get down for a while now.
