Racing is racing, it changes. It went form the beach to the track in Daytona. Cars get faster, rules change. deal with it. There are still plenty of classes you can race in. If you are strickly talking about TV coverage and only showing the top 3-4 catagories what would you like them to do? The have to edit it down into a managable time period. Not a lot of people can sit thru and watch a complete NHRA day. At the end of the day it's still guys and gals in cars w/ big enigines going really fast. It takes a lot of skill to pedal those cars down the 1/4 mile or 1000 feet as it stands. The fact that JF is on all the time is becasue maybe he's the kookiest guy in the pits. He always has too much too say it's an easy interview. As for the lack of Dodges, it's an effect of the current economy and the lack of any real product to race. Don't like it watch poker or girls soccer....

Do you guys get coverage of 3 or 4 catagories?? here in Australia we get coverage for one catorgry only, our fuelers, top slammas, our pro stocks & nitro bikes, thats prety much it, zero sportsman racing yet as we have the biggist feilds at any meeting & we are charged a fee for the tv coverage weather like it or not but never get to see our classes racing or hear any results,

you guys seem to have it pretty good



They show T/F dragster, T/F funny car, Pro Stock and sometimes they toss in Pro Bike. Usually tape delay so they can edit out all the track clean up and compress it into a 2 hour window.



AND then they have a seperate show that airs usually about a week after the race is over that covers the Sportsmen classes. SuperComp, Comp etc. That show is usually an hour so not a ton of coverage but at least it is something.
