That's what we're hoping for, Tom!

I just wish it would start on time, because it's on after the US Open Woman's Tennis finals!:rolleyes:

OK Danny, I might have sounded a little over the top but let me try to explain. My two kids pretty well drained me of most of my Drag Racing money. My daughter got her Masters and an RN and landed a great job at The Mayo Clinic. All that in 6 years. My son, however, went 7 years to a school of "higher learning" and all he got was a great back swing! Do you have any idea how many starving pro golfers there are in this world? Jim

Did I mention I hate golf?

What kind of a name is Stiggy?

OK, so they gave us 30 minutes out of what was supposed to be 90 minutes of drag racing (including the Super Master Top Comp stuff that was to be after the Sportsman show. Didn't miss a lick of golf or Baseball Tonight! Thanks for nothing ESPN! You SUCK! Jim

And before you ask....yes, that's how I really think.

I always thought that a golf course was a terrible waste of land that someone could have built a drag strip on instead.

Hey Guys I got good news. Go to ESPN3.com Hit the replay button and you can see the whole race. All classes, even a super slow mo of the stock final.

Lew Silverman 09-11-2011 10:16 PM

Re: Sunday on ESPN 2 5:pm or 6 PM or maybe 7:20!
 
I can understand NHRA and ESPN not saying or doing anything about the atrocious coverage given the Sportsman Classes, they already have their money. But what about the sponsor's who shell out big money to advertise their products in this bad economy? Why aren't they mad as hell! What happened to the 20 minutes that was chopped off of today's fiasco? The 15-second clip of the Hemi-Shootout couldn't have made MOPAR too happy! All-in-all a very poor product from ESPN, staying with a format that hasn't changed in years! And this was, we kept being told, "the most important race of the year!!"

BTW - explain to your neighbor, who knows nothing about drag racing, why the car that crossed the finish line first didn't win! Think he knows what a "break out" is?

They spent more time interviewing Alexis DeJoria then they did on the "real" sportsman classes! And their next show is the AAA Nationals, NOT Charlotte!!

Lew
Total disgusted with NHRA drag racing coverage on ESPN!:mad:
