Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

The thing that pissed me off even more than his total celebration in Lines face, was the comment that he made me mad by taking away the pole. Thats pretty ballsy. Just shows you what a JERK OFF he is. Who the **** is Greg Anderson?? Hitler?? He is a paid employee just like Line and the rest of the team. I hope he never wins another race again.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Has anyone found this on youtube yet?

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

If you have ESPN3,you can still watch it there.I just watched it tonight.Words can't describe how silly he acted.Its not like he hasn't ever won before.Hopefully,he never wins again!

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Yea, seeing how about 100 pros showed up to try to make the fields and about 670 something sportsman showed up for a go at the big show..Damn, wonder how much cash the NHRA raked in from the class racers? All the negative crap seems to slow me down on the two class cars we are building...Seems like it is too much of an uphill battle.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

With all the sportsmen racers and family and friends if everybody wrote and emailed nhra and all the sportsmen sponsors maybe things will change. With better race coverage brings more fans and money.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Keep Dreamin!
I like the positive attitude though!

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

I just spoke with a good friend of mine that covers NHRA on ESPN. He said the finals of all classes will be on the Lucas show this weekend.

Thanks,

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Are you going to be at E'town this weekend for the Lucas Oil points race?

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

I am working on a survey/questionnaire about the current LODRS coverage and it will be about 5 or 6 questions. I'd like as many people as possible to do it and it should only take about 1 minute. I am going to send the results to ESPN and NHRA in an excel file. If Ken lets me, I will post the link on here and it will take to you the survey.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

I wish Line would go get WJ's program back on track and drive his car...poetic justice right there.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

All he said was that he was mad at Jason for taking the pole? Whats wrong with that? Plus the celebration? Nothing wrong there either, the dude was happy because he won. Hopefully your not a racer if that petty stuff bothers you?? Bottom line Greg did his job and Jason didn't.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Greg Anderson's 'Q' rating,,,,,,likeability,,,,took a 'big hit'.

Next time,,,,a small slice of 'humble pie' please.;)

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

I disagree bigtime. It was Indy, The man was happy and fired up. Totally nothing wrong with that at all. Jason needs to man up, quit being scared, and leave on time. Low ET of the meet and gets a FAT L in the final. NO EXCUSE!!

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

My 2 cents. First off I LOVE Drag Racing!! I promote Drag Racing!! I invite all my friends and relatives!! I've PAID for friends and relatives to go with me just so they could experience it for themselves! Only a couple have ever gone back. Even with added exposure on ESPN I doubt it would increase the fan base more than what the true fan or racers and their families could do, it would only make us die hards happier(I'm all for that)! It's all about the Nitro, and that's ok as long as they can bring the sportsmen racing with them for the true drag race fans.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Please, the guy knows how to win. Was a sportsman champ and a Pro champ. Gregg just has no class. Line wouldnt do that in an interview.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Anderson is an *****, always has been, always will be. Jason has all the class in that team. Jim

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

I don't think that the marriage between Jason Line and anderson will last much longer.

The Line Family and Jason have way too much class to be associated with anderson.

Congratulations to Jason on your Runner-Up finish at Indy and it might be time to move on.........

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Hey Headchopper if you read all the posts on this topic all drag racing fans agree that Greg Anderson class was pretty ****y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would make Greg Anderson's day if Jason Line was to leave summit Racing and went to work for W.J. or better yet Victor Cagnazzi racing!!!!! I'm Racer also I bracket race snowmobile that is faster then anything you might have (8.60s) but maybe not also.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

That would be insane! Whoever gets to drive a Summit car is going to be in the hunt on raceday. That is one well oiled (financed) operation.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Nope SC Dragster here running 7.90's off the stop. Bring that snow sled on! Jason will not be leaving Greg anytime soon. Why leave? So he can go back to running a 13 second stationwagon? As stated above he has one of the best Prostock rides out there.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Hey Chopper, I think that snowmobile will take you in a heads up.:eek:

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Your math isn't very good if you think 8.60's outruns 7.90's. Case closed.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Hey, in this world of "new math" and Obamanomics it might be possible.:>):>)

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

With 6 HOURS of coverage I thought sportsman coverage would be there. They filled in the between rounds of the fuel classes with so much BS that I tuned out. These fuel racers must really think the drag racing world revolves around them. Personally , I'm sick of the fuel cars , sick of Mike Dunn and the crew , sick of ESPN and the emphasis on fuel cars. I tuned out off and on throughout the day and EVERY time I tuned in it was fuel cars. Boring , ugly *** fuel cars ( at least the funny cars anyway ). I really hope this category just dies and goes away soon.
Pro stock is almost as boring any more.
Pro Mod is cool , Super Stock and Comp are always cool.
One of the reasons I prefer the heads up deals ( NMCA etc etc ) so much now is the variety and break from traditional NHRA style racing. The NHRA is an old , archaic sanctioning body that needs a complete overhaul. I rarely attend anything other than sportsman racing at the national events ( thurs ).
Antron Brown , Tony Shumacher , Force etc etc ..........get over yourselves..............plenty of guys like myself aren't impressed with your "circus" cars . Please just go away..................FOREVER.
ESPN , to all of you who covered the race at Indy , you could have had a nice blend of sportsman coverage with the Pro classes , which was EXACTLY what I assumed you were going to do..................instead you proved once again that you assume the world revolves around fuel cars...........and for this , you suck...............yes , you really do.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

Not to snap you back to reality, Joe, but why did you think there would be any sportsman coverage during the Full Throttle show? The "suits" at NHRA are paying ESPN to showcase the cars that the sponsors want the public to see, namely those loud and flashy fuel cars! So yes, as far as the people footing the bill are concerned, the world does revolve around Top Fuel and Funny Car. And as long as the sponsors are happy getting their logo's in front of John Q. Public, it's going to stay that way. If the corporate-types don't care that the program that they're paying for is preempted by high school baseball, do you really think that NHRA is going to care either? Have you ever seen a NASCAR show start late? They've moved NBA games to accommodate NASCAR!

Let's see what happens this Sunday with the Lucas Oil show, provided it's not programmed to follow high school lacrosse or bowling. If we get more than 30 seconds of Stock and Super/Stock coverage, I'll be thrilled!!

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

That was the worst ESPN NHRA show ever. 3 hrs. of drag racing streched out to 6 hrs. How many times do we have to see the Terry McMillen blow up? Total BS interviews. I can't believe I watched that crap when I should have been out working on my car. I can't believe they have Paul Page anouncing a sport he knows very little about. Or the Gary Geold stupid questions over and over again.

OK, I'm done.

Re: Thanks ESPN your rotten to the core
 

All reasons that I miss Diamond P, Steve Evans, Dave McClelland, and the TNT crew that supported them. Moreover, I miss "Inside Drag Racing"...ironically which used to be on ESPN....they value us as much as corporate America seems to value "MADE IN THE USA"!!!
