I liked seeing all of the Trump stickers on the cars today. Great way of telling the NHRA they overstepped their authority.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

NHRA has been enforcing this for years. I can't tell you who or what it was but it was at Pomona in the late 80's early 90's and a bunch of sportsman racers were reprimanded for the decals they had on cars in somewhat of a campaign / protest.

Maybe someone else remembers what it was?

The protest was for the unwarranted firing of Division 7 Tech Director Cloy Fitzgerald. Yep, I was one of the many and yes they were not happy with us.

Next time Scott, please don't include the date, it make me look old. Come to think about it, I remember seeing you in that parade!

No Biden does not care about Drag Racing or even any internal combustion engines except those on HIS limousines and Planes. That is why all racers and people who like to have the freedom to drive should vote Trump.

Honestly it was a pretty loud and clear statement. Wonder if NHRA says uncle or pushes back.

actually it wasn't, With around 3% percent of the nearly 900 cars on the property sporting the decal.

That's a nice answer to a question nobody ask. Fact is the big boys were running them, the one's with stroke with the NHRA.

the TRUTH and the FACTS are most of "the big boys and girls" weren't running them.

Agreed. But until conservatives get down in the dirt, like the libs, they will continue to lose. Conservatives propensity to "take the high road" has and is a losing proposition.

That I agree with.

Most of the cars I saw on TV yesterday had the sticker. Good enough for me. It was a noticeable appearance on TV and I hope it sends a message.

I'm a little confused as to why people think the racers are sending a message to NHRA. Those cars with the decals were simply doing what was outlined in the rules as acceptable. There wasn't exactly anything rebellious about it. I think people are overselling how much NHRA actually cares about the message as long as it's not going to negatively impact them as an organization (i.e. threaten their non-profit status or get them in hot water with the networks).
