I could be crazy, but it seems to me that someone could put a pretty good drag race TV show together just by traveling to a different track each weekend, picking a sportsman class, and doinng a show on it......
"Today on The Sportsman, were at Woodburn drag strip and we'all be bringing you coverage of Super-Pro...."
They could do some between-round interviews, a focus segment on the class and typical cars you see in that class. Perhaps a profile of the reigning track champ in that class, so on & so on. The racing would be pretty similar to the pinks all out format, it would work best if they just showed up and ran it very loose, to try to capture the typical action from the day. Seems like there's more good action to be had there than some of the stuff we've seen.
I know I'd watch it.
