Consider yourself fortunate if there hasnt been any issues with NHRA TV. There are issues with subscriptions , cancellations, connections etc.

We all appreciate the announcers. They do a good job all the way around.

The issue is with coverage. Seldom is stock and ss covered from beginning to end. They usually start at 10, unless Warren was at the National, and then roll up the cameras after the last pro is down the track.

With the DD’s having this responsibility added to their plate it probably will be an issue.

The main issue we have with it is the new cost that you will pay, that not all members or supporters have, to spend to watch. Consider yourself blessed if $$ not an issue. And what about those who do not want it as part of their subscription being mandated in because NHRA continues to make bonehead moves that added no value.

Live tv cost 10 million a year and only receives 1 million in subscriptions.

Why should we subsidized it - we being the sportsman racer who is not on national tv? So yes, there is a problem with that. Live tv is the issue and cost shifting is the result.

Couple this with live timing that works 50-75% of the time and we are now adding another function onto the DD!
