I dont really get why this is a news flash. We all know, or at least we should know, that the only people that are interested in class racing are the people that participate in it, and the throttle stop classes, and bracket racing have ruined sportsman racing to the spectators. Look up in the stands at a points meet some time, noone is there for a reason. The only time that there are people in the stands is when the fuel cars run, not for PS, or bikes, they are all filler for the fuel classes. I dont race cause I want to see myself on tv, when I am its cool, but its not my drive. I am there cause I want to win. If you want to get mad cause they didnt show the finals, when they have a 1 hr show scheduled on 9/11 @ 5pm to show the sportsman, than go for it. The only reason that they show the hemi final is because Mopar pays for that. It is true that NHRA is second to anything else that is on, it gets bumped for volleyball, little kids baseball, bowling, etc. I know where we rate in the realm of spectator sports, its not going to change. Go to the races to race, have fun, and go home.
