Well , there is something to be said for "skantily clad " women jumping around angrily smacking balls...........

To the best of my limited knowledge, NHRA buys time from ESPN and is routinely bumped by network execs for other events like cricket or cheerleading. In defense of the cricket match, it was the equivalent of a World Series final game watched by, sadly, way more people than a Lucas Oil Sportsman race. Some people have no taste in entertainment.

The fact that no one watches drag racing is one of the reasons I decided to get out on the track. That's where the fun is.

I bet they do not broadcast the final game of the world series in india

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

Set the recorder for the ESPN Lucas coverage per the on screen guide, was less then thrilled to see it recorded rugby, cricket or something other than Sportsman Drag Racing. Not sure we will attempt to view any more.

The ragheads should have flown a plane into the side of espn headquarters. I live in New Orleans can anybody tell me where the nearest Effin game of cricket is being played at? They showed every miserable minute of that ****t down to interviews of bench players until every one of those smelly bastards walked off the field. Espn SUCKS.

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

Georgia and Florida both have more Premier League Cricket teams than you would think. The game originated in England and wound up in India and Sir Lanka in essentially the same way baseball wound up in Japan. War and colonization. There's a reason all those guys spoke English.

Feel better? Me neither. Speed did a better job.

Any network is going to show what gets the better ratings, they are a business after all. Face it, we are a niche market so all the ranting in the world isn't going to change that.

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

Set it to record the show after and then you should get the most of it.. If not then set it for the two shows after... If it goes off on time just erase the two you don't want... If you want to see it you will figure a way. If not you can continue to complain about it.... JMHO

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

You are welcome; KMan does a good job editing it all--no ads etc. He also has all the qualifying too! Hopefully; he doesn't get booted off YouTube..

Yes, I think that was Rutledge in the air!

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

Does Kman post any sportsmen stuff? Did a quick scan but didn't notice any

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

He does have some ESPN sportsman stuff. It seems like ESPN rarely covers top alcohol dragster/ funny car/ super stock etc (maybe as fillers) but they will show some eliminations. You can get complete sportsman races through MotorMania--

This seems to be linked through my favourites but you can search YouTube for it..

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

"ask and you shall receive" KMan just updloaded some sportsman stuff from the Gator nats--
If you go to 35:45 mark stock finals start, there are probably some guys on this message board who were on national TV!!

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

That's great! I watched it live but it's still cool to watch it again

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

Looks like it's on after the pro coverage tomorrow night at 11:00 pm eastern time.

Re: NHRA on ESPN
 

FYI: ESPN will not air Nascar next year, it will move to NBC. So makes me wonder if ESPN will have anything with NHRA in 2015?
