Why do they Even Put a start time for Drag racing on ESPN2
 
Seriously. I would bet 9 out of 10 times its put off at least a half hour if not longer by little league baseball or tennis.. Watching Drag Racing on ESPN2 is like running in Stock Elim. You never really know when you are going to run, but you had better hang around just in case they call you to the lanes, and if the important classes are on the track well you will just have to wait longer.

There thats my rant for the week.

All the bitching and moaning won't change a thing.Let's concentrate on getting the org. to be more responsive to the needs of it's members,pro and sportsman.They've been responsive to the fans needs for a long time now.I think it's our turn now.

Pothole

What are you getting all worked up for. Its only the pro
crap they are screwing with. WHO CARES If it was the
sportsman they were messing with then you should be pi$$ed.

I don't waste my time watching that crap.

X2 I watched Sunday for the first time in a few months and was reminded of why I don't watch much anymore. Paul Lee turns on the win light against Ashley and all they can do is replay her run to figure out what went wrong with her car and give her an immediate interview. I'm sure Canidae is glad that their driver takes out a well known driver in an upset only to get a short interview later in-between rounds of FC. It gets kind of old seeing the Force's portrayed as the "$20 Million Dollar Team That Could".

At least with DVR I can fast forward through the same six commercials and useless gum flapping that goes on in between rounds, stopping for the occasional Warren Johnson interview. Plus, I can set my DVR to go up to a half hour over the scheduled end time so the recording doesn't cut off because off a little league game. Although I didn't mind watching some of the women's softball players that ran into drag racing time a few races ago.
