THEY can't even display a qualifing show set to run at 1am ...ON TIME ... it was almost an hour late. And consider that NHRA pays them 10 MILL per year ...for this kind of treatment ?....

Sometimes things happen. They're not out to screw the drag racing fan. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

At least we don't have to put up with Chris Economaki. He may have been a great sports announcer, but he sucked balls as a drag racing announcer. Think Paul Page only more idiotic.
