While I know this is a waste of breath, I'll post one last time and call it a day.
Maybe, just maybe, the site was trying ot get a little more laid back and allowing certain things to be posted. However, when it was brought to their attention about the possible "endorsement" aspect by a member, then action had to be taken. NOT because one members opinion is worth more than another, but because it made the board go back to enforcing its own rules.
Then, because street racing is illegal and potentially dangerous - not just for the participants - the video was pulled. And yes, so are clear marker lights and using NOS on the street and using 5 points on the street, but 1) no one is going to get killed using clear marker lights 2) NOS itself is not illegal and 3) it's reasonable to use 5 points on the track.
As much as some folks are stirring the ***, most realize the seriousness and the potential liability of a street race gone bad and an unsuccesful marker light install are not the same thing. The world is not black and white and this site has drawn the line in a shade of grey that they feel is appropriate for the members and the sponsors.
You may not like the decision, but it's really just getting back to a statement that was put forth some time ago about not supporting / condoning or allowing posts on street racing. Things got a little looser around here, but after it was brought to the attention of the board again, it does make sense to enforce the rules that are already here.
And no, I have absolutely no input into how this board is run.
