If you want sportsman coverage then turn on ESPN3 and the live audiocast and go at it. I sat there and watched all the sportsman action on Monday afternoon from my computer and loved it. Unfortunate that the Stocker lost the motor in the final round which bumped the pro's up to the front but, when you watch ESPN3 and NHRA Audiocast together it's like watching it on TV. The Audiocast is about 5 seconds faster then the ESPN3 live feed but, it's the best thing going on out there for the sportsman racers. If you guys think that NHRA & ESPN are going to put sportsman racing into a 6 hours long program then you need to wake up, it's not going to happen. Was I a little mad that they didn't leave the ESPN3 feed running till the end...yes but, that's what DRC is for. I think we've become too pampered by all this technology that we forgot where we were 10-15 years ago when we had to call 1-800-NHRANOW or what ever it was to get just the final round results then wait a week to actually watch the race on TNN. Now if DRC doesn't have the results up in 15 minutes everyone is bashing the site and telling them they suck. So thanks to all the internet news sites out there that give us the up-to-date drag racing coverage that we need!
