From what I have heard, there will be no televised coverage of the BG divisional.

Who makes these decisions at NHRA? They surely lack imagination and understanding of racers and fans! The largest majority of racers going to the US Nationals will be racing at Bowling Green the week before. They don't even give us live timing from BG let alone TV coverage! They even provide live timing from Montana and TV from some place in D1, but none from BG where most of the racers are racing prior to the Big Go at Indy! NHRA are you nuts! Fans and Racers want to know what's happening at Bowling Green! NHRA who within your less than hallowed halls makes these Dumb Decisions?

Poor network strength? Low bandwidth?

They have often televised and had live timing in the past form BG; it is more likely some one made a decision that it wasn't necessary this time.

No offense to D1 or D6 racers; but the week before Indy; most of the racers going to Indy in Stock and Super Stock are racing at BG. NHRA to expand there brand and keep their few existing customers satisfied should be live streaming from Bowling Green this weekend as well as furnishing live timing.

Sad situation. Very disappointed with NHRA.tv.

This is what NHRA posted at the beginning of the year (Feb 10th) for which Lucas Oil races would be streamed. Didn't show Bowling Green then. Not every division got the same coverage (Div 6 got 1).

It's obvious that most of us did not pay attention if we saw this way back when! Why would you live Stream Epping right before Indy when you know the most cars 115 vs 71 stockers will be at Bowling Green and every educated racer would be interested in how guys and gals are doing before going to Indy. The majority of cars at BG will be headed to Indy were a small percentage from D1 and D6 (they are at least live streaming D6) and they show live streaming for D3 of course it isn't happening). I can not understand the decisions that NHRA makes.

Don, I seem to remember BG having a particularly weak internet signal.
Possibly why no one wants to be involved with streaming out of there.

By the same token, I know D3TV used to live stream out of there and I watched it with no issue, But maybe you are right.. Bobby more or less raised the same thoughts..
