He's just the wrong guy for the job, and terribly uninformed. Wrong names, times, facts and so on. About being able to make it through a segment, that's my point. There's no need for most of the blabber.
Would you guys rather see a segment on a technical issue related to the car, or what we get now. There are countless shows on television now that are just tech stuff. How it's made, modern marvels, how stuff works, and so on. These shows all have good ratings, and I'd bet most of us watch them. I wish they would add that dimension to the show. You could walk up to any crew chief and ask him to blab about anything, and it would be interesting and real feeling. Setup, contrived unrelated BS smells like a sit com to me. IF they want to capture the feel of the event they need to shoot that stuff, and stop trying to be unnecessarily creative. The race can, and has sold it's self in the past.
Please keep'm coming guys. It may be in vain, but I won't stop trying to contact them until someone at least acknowledges what we're saying.

FYI, here's alink to a short write up Paul Page did about Mike Dunn, read it, see if you still feel exactly the same

Read it and thanks. I'm glad Page respects Dunn,and that Dunn and he get along so well, but he's still the wrong guy for the job. The fact that he knows he's the fall guy for Dunn makes it more apparent to me. It's not an issue to me of it sounding cruel because Page is poorly suited for the job, just a point that the show would be much better with someone of Dunn's caliber. NHRA in my opinion has no need for an admitted "setup guy". That stuff is for the tonight show, and sit coms. I would prefer to either hear more from Dunn, or an intelligent, insightful exchange between Dunn and another like him.
It's not the end of the world to me if Page stays, just knock off the shtick. I really want, like most I think, for them to get back to racing related stuff since that's what they're sent to cover. As for it being a tough gig, well it's the pinnacle of the sport, it should be, and deserves the very best.
