FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

Just watched the "Pro" show. Over an hour of B.S. between semi & finals. Got to be able to do something better than the interviews, pit coverage & brain numbing conversations.
Hey Fox, you would be amazed at how much the public would appreciate it if you would at least show the finals of each of the Sportsman categories. Ratings will go up and it's not like you don't have the time. My $.02

FS1 sucks they said a month ago IF there was time they would show all the sportsman final. Their a joke.......Just like espn walking around kissing Forces ***** and crap like that.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

They should get Tony and force together for an extended interview, would turn into a cat fight again.

Would be so nice to see the sportsman finals during the waiting time.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

They could show the semi-finals and finals since they are hot lapped

Oh but that would require knowledge of the sportsman classes - which neither of those guys know anything about

Tell me I am wrong - I need a good beat down

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

...plus when they have their "Sportsman" coverage, they only show TAFC and TAD. Really?

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

I agree with the post above. When they said they were going to show some Sportsman coverage, I thought, "Wow; this is different". Even called my wife downstairs to watch, only to find it was TAD and TAFC. It escapes me how, when probably 90 percent of the people who drag race (and watch drag racing on television) are sportsman racers, NHRA and the networks can't provide even a little coverage. Who do they think watches the stuff?

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

Hey Brett your .02 is dead on!!!! The problem is Fox and NHRA don't give a damn about sportsman. Would've been cool to our friends win live on TV. Oh that's right I gotta pay $99 to do that because I don't pay enough already monthly to my cable provider.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

I don't see much of an improvement from ESPN to FS1. I just can't justify wasting an hour of my time waiting to watch the finals. Adding the late Sportsman rounds would change my opinion.

It would be nice if we had a method of communicating this to FS1 or NHRA.
Thanks, Ron.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

You do have a way of communicating it. NEVER think that you don't. What's the saying, "write your congressman..." It's real easy now with e-mail. BTW... I sort of agree with everything written on these posts.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

I just sent my email to NHRA.

Motor Mania is free and has a lot of coverage and commentary. Div 3 runs a broadcast with commentary from the tower, and free.

the head mucky muck for the NHRA TV is KEN ADELSON--- he is the top guy all the other production staff report to him..---FED 387
PS call the number for the ALL ACCESS and cancel your subscription : reason you are not delivering or broadcasting what you are advertising. You are only showing TAD/TAFC and no other classes I WANT A REFUND. If you paid by credit card call your card company and dispute the charge.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

John, you are correct. I just sent my post to Fox & NHRA.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

According to a story on NHRA's website almost 1.3 million people watched the show on Sunday. The most to view the show in 14 years. Peter Clifford is very encouraged by the numbers. Looks like the powers that be like the way it is going.

Re: FS1 Las Vegas Show
 

I have to disagree with this comment, and you must not have watched the same program I watched….

I was able to watch the NHRA All Access program for the first time this weekend and thought it was great. Watching the Worner Brothers race in the semis was awesome and it doesn’t get much better without actually being there.

You are definitely getting what you paid for. The ability to watch a live drag race, without attending the race, is pretty incredible considering the price of entry.

Even more so, to be able and go back and watch previous races; there was nothing out there, via ESPN, YouTube, people’s personal footage, etc., that was even close to getting the round by round action like this, while also being able to watch it anytime you want after the race. Our racing partner, Jerry Hancock, was able to watch the entire Las Vegas race, round by round, from his home. Even the interviews they did with the Sportsman racers were shown, and to me, that shows progress.

The FS1 Sportsman show could use some improvement, but all of this is a step in the right direction for both fans and racers – forward.

I merely was telling the poster who to contact at HRA to complain to about his displeasure with the program I was not agreeing with his opinion of the show that he viewed merely providing contact information. FED 387
