I gave up a while ago on that.
I cant take that MORON PAGE and it is actually a blessing to only listen to his crap for the 30 seconds or less of prostock coverage.
No number of emails will do the trick.
They are to stupid and care less.

Between the poor coverage, Paul Page and being preempted, I have all but quit watching ESPN2 and ESPN. While I did send them my concerns, part of the blame is on the NHRA for their focus us the noisy leaking nitro cars. I would rather watch the super classes than fuel cars.

The NHRA is really missing the boat by not highlighting the ProMod cars.

I would love to see NHRA on a real car oriented network that would show more racing content and less filler crap.

not on the west coast schedule cheerleading and NCAA womens special on 2, pba bowling and a dog show on ESPN regular. I gave up long ago and act as if it were 10 years ago when you had nothing about qualifing on tv.....just like today.

...and I'm glad promod is not a regular class. Just another mini fuel car and we have enough of those already.

I am not even sure the NHRA coverage qualifies for red headed step child status. I dont even bother anymore, I am so sick and tired of hearing about Force and his entourage and family.

For me the fuel cars are just a ohh look at that, prostock the cars are getting hard to tell apart. And with so many racers in different classes let see some stories on them that the average guy can relate to. I like John Force but come on already.

Never understood what dog shows & spelling bees were doing on a sports channel.

it's not really espn's fault as it is nhra's fault. that is the 2nd rate deal that nhra negotiated with espn. nhra doesn't want to spend more money on securing the air time. just my you notice that nascar or the busch series type of racing gets their secured air time?

I only watch Prostock and it really ticks me off when they interview top fuel or funny jockeys in a small window while the prostocks are running
