The same feeling here Ed, I almost turned it off after 30 minutes, looked like the same old worthless ESPN program with a couple new faces doing the interviews. And I would have turned it off too if I wasn't interested in seeing how Fox was going to handle the show coverage. By 45 minutes into the program, I knew anything I had any major interest in wasn't happening. They wouldn't have had time left to show it
.
The general consensus from the Friday breakfast table racer guys at the local dive this morning was that Fox could have spread out the coverage of ALL the classes a lot more, not just focus on the alcohol guys round after round. (Yes, we know they're fast). Super Gas--which admittedly is not my style, got about 15 seconds of coverage without an explanation as to how and what they're doing in the one race they showed, Comp got practically no coverage, S and SS got more interview time with Fletch than anything else they showed. And how Erica Enders Stevens got such a lengthy segment in the latter part of the program is still puzzling to me. Isn't she a Pro driver? Isn't this a "Sportsman" program??
But we all agreed we're willing to give it some time. Still watching for now.
