I thouhgt it was odd that the announcers would say that Pro Stock was no longer"normally asperated" instead of saying no longer carbureted. I would have pointed out they are now mandated to run and use elctronic fuel injected by NHRA work

I thought Fox Sports was an upgrade. The video sucked. They don't show all the passes of any class. Tdofus made his first mistake (of many)in the first 5 minutes. IIRC the Force family did NOT win a Championship last year, yet we got another full dose of that crap.

Pro Stock was milquetoast at best. They look stupid without the scoops. They were down 4-5 MPH and the big wheelies didn't happen.

Didn't it start late, Sat night, due to motocross coverage?

Supercross was split on 2 different channels briefly last night because of a dog show competition that ran late on FS1.

The NHRA finals are on at 5pm EST on FS1 today, I'll be tuning in.

I liked it, but am not a Tony fan for sure. Coverage is still miles ahead of when we had to wait 6 weeks to see it on Wide World of Sports.

The dog show ran late first, but that didn't really affect the drag racing. SX went long.

You would think with all the poop NHRA was flouting about how great the coverage was going to be, it was a let down for me.


And still no Pro Stock wheelies!

Coverage is lousy at best....Announcing is bad also. Drew Skillman was called Erica Enders among many other inaccuracies. I am sure the owners of some of these cars will be contacting FS1 as to why the driver was only mentioned not ever shown after all it is advertising.....It's gonna be a looonnggg year.

Same boring racing. Different network/reporting is all that changed.

Tony is as bad as I'd thought he'd be.

Bruno is an idiot.

Dave R needs to lay off the energy drinks.

Empty seats on race day. Again. Still...

Do you think this is FS1's first sporting event?

It sucks. Put on your big boy pants and call it what it is. Crapola.

And just like I said, not a damn thing done to PS did a damn thing for PS.

Then we have useless babble from the booth with Sportsman racing in the background waiting for the pro finals.

Those are the sportsman late rounds. Show some coverage, give the winner and runner ups 15 seconds of time. Instead I'm listening to Erica rehash last year. Blah, blah...

I guess I'm an optimist and think Fox will get better as will the PS cars. Hell at least it's on. Bottom line, you don't like it, watch something else. That way you don't have to bit@h about it.

I agree with Justin.... At least the Pro Stock cars look better without the big scoop.

THat's why I'm on the web. I turned the crap off.

It's great to be an optimist. I have no problem with it. But you can't lie to yourself.

As I posted many times and was lit up for it, no hood scoops, EFI and short wheelie bars didn't do JACK for TV coverage, or, evidently spectators either, as the stands look the same as always when PS runs. It won't take 8-10 races to figure out the NHRA didn't "fix" PS, they just put a bandaid where they needed an amputation.
