Same here.. the show has been getting better each
time.. I liked some of the camera angles back with
ESPN better

Pedregon is still a work in progress, I guess, but yeah I really miss Mike Dunn.
I agree with Mr.P, ESPN's camera work was better.
Also seems like FS1 has condensed the runs - cutting the burnouts, the crew chiefs checking each other, and the kind of details I liked seeing. Now it's kind of like pass after pass with really basic, entry-level commentary.
I've actually been bored by FS1's coverage.

I much prefer the coverage on the road-racing & F1 broadcasts.

They did condense a lot of it... I liked some
of the other stuff.. they only show the burn
outs in the later rounds(like semi finals and
finals) and some of the interviews in the pits
but they arent interviewing Force every 30 seconds
EDIT
I'm not into the after the racing awards stuff either..
put more of the racing/burnouts anything and ask Bob
said.. the remarks by Tony can have you lost for a rookie

He's really the master of the obvious.
His comments on funny cars today had my wife shaking her head.
"The funny cars don't really look funny anymore. The bodies are made of carbon fiber. Which is fibers, made of carbon". No, really?
Then says, "the strength comes from the weave".
But no follow up. If one wasn't already knowledge about carbon fiber, they'd have no clue why he was talking about weave.

The production is getting the hang of it. Was like they listened to us complain about NOT showing the clocks & ET.
Would love to see Dean Skuza around the mike.............

$99 for live streaming will eliminate the crap and make your life better.

No, I have not spent the $99 and don't watch racing on TV (allergic to commercials), but I sure like the live streaming I see from other, non-NHRA events, even though PDRA was a bit of a cluster this weekend.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
