NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv
We went to renew our contract with Warren for 2021 and was told that NHRA is rolling the Points meets streaming in-house next year and Warren is out. To top it off, if you want the free coverage us sponsors paid for in previous years you can subscribe for a fee, payable to NHRA TV.
Live national coverage is a big time loser for NHRA and they expect to supplement instead of learning how to negotiate a deal. Time for a change starting at the top. |

Re: NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv
Just another enhancement I’m surprised it went on for free that long

This is terrible news. I don’t always get to watch the full time live but will go back and rewatch later at night or the next morning. Warren did a great job with these events.

Re: NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv
I think we all knew it was coming sooner or later, Warren did a great job especially for the sportsman racers and us old retired guys that don't get chance to go to many of the races anymore. I for one won't be buying NHRA TV I tried that twice and both times it was terrible unless you want to watch the PRO guys. Thanks to Warren for all the great shows you put on for us sportsman racers . Best of luck !

Re: NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv
Remember, NHRA is all about the money. They answer to all the corporate conglomerates now. It is no longer about the racer, its about the dollars and keeping the T.V. people happy. Why else would they not show some sportsman racing when there are delays? No No, let's show some interviews instead of showing other race classes. Racing is what EVERYONE wants to see right? They are so out of touch with their members, but they sure don't seem to care about that any more. So sad.

Re: NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv
This is horrible news. Warren did a great job and is a great person. I guess NHRA just couldn't stand being outdone.
Good luck to Warren and sorry they are doing this to you. P.S. I met Warren when he was at Pacific Raceways, I believe in 2018. Great guy to talk with and very knowledgeable
