Yeah, and you're all welcome. Just go as far south as you can here. You'll find it. It is really lonely down there too right now...

Glenn had the decency to respond to my email almost instantly with an unexpectedly personalized response - i expected a canned message.

basically he compared Hogan to several NFL players who were convicted of various crimes and allowed to continue to play. he also said that he would consider taking action if a federal judge were to indict Hogan for any of the allegations against him.

I feel that its kind of missing the point as Hogan's legal issues stem from driving and that is what he intends to continue to do (dangerously) professionally, whereas the other athletes didnt murder or maim anyone doing something that would call their abilities as athletes into question, therefore making them eligible for suspension or expulsion.

it sounds like they need to hear from more people. I know that the feeling shared by thousands of enthusiasts like us is that Nick Hogan should not be allowed behind the wheel - at least until he takes responsibility for what he did - and it needs to be made public, loud and clear.

Maybe some motorsport publications and blogs should be made aware of the situation.

dibs. maybe if he is indicted he will need to liquidate it for legal fees... or maybe not since the Hulkster seems plenty capable of shielding him from reality.

This is what i got from Glenn Woods , typical corporate response...
Glenn Woods wrote:Well Tom, lets look at other athletes and their problems that have a greater impact on fans and the media as well as young on lookers. Michael Vick: In Fed Prison, will play football once he gets out, not banned by the NFL......Ricky Williams: Look at all of the drug charges and suspensions, yet, he is back in the NFL playing.....Ray Lewis: Accused of killing a man in Atl., beat the case in court, no suspension from the NFL......Pac Man Jones: Convicted of Attempted Murder, Did time, allowed to play in NFL, nobody picked him up, so now he is a wrestler..... I could go on and on for days, we have not eve tipped the iceberg on Baseball, Basketball and even hockey..... We had a player in Atlanta, Drunk, Driving his Ferrari, wrapped it around the telephone pole, killed the passenger (his best friend) did time while recovering, now plays in the NHL, but not in Atlanta...... Nick has not even been convicted of anything yet, Nick has not even committed to running a the season this year.......So why all of the fuss over a maybe or a could be??????? If there are drivers out there as good as Nick, they need to attend a qualifier, or attempt to buy a provisional.Nick went to his first event using a FD provisional and finished 4th, he earned his liscence in 2007, finished in the top 16 in points so his license is awarded for 2008....... What Nick does outside of an event we have no control over. I am sorry that he injured his best friend in the crash, I feel for Johns family and hate for that to happen to anyone, much less someone we all knew. When a judge rules against Nick, if that is the case, that is when the Drifting Organizations have to step in and make their decisions.

kay, looks like he just copied his response to me (which i guess could have been a copy itself) and doesnt give a damn about the issue.

i guess more people need to let him know how they feel.

reminder: while you can tell them that you know there are loads and loads of people out there that share our opinion, please do not affiliate your statement with Nico, leave it individual.

if you would, please spread this to other forums as well so we can get enough of a response to warrant serious thought on the part of the Nopi staff.

i guess you could say part of it is fame and accountability. add your standard mix of, "if that guy cant drive for ****, why is he getting sponsors and cars?" thirdly there's the sense of righteousness at work.
