Exclamation Re: Sportsman on ESPN today

About a million years ago (maybe 1970???) NHRA did a LIVE broadcast of a national event (probably the Winternationals.) Remember, I said "LIVE/"

Well, some delay (oildowns, maybe) caused a sizeable glitch in their schedule, and the timeframe available for broadcast coincided with..... sit down..... STOCK ELIMINATOR!!!!!!!

I sat in front of my TV, transfixed fo 30 minutes while one Stocker after another left the line, while the suits at NHRA were planning how to make sure THAT never happened again.... and, it hasn't.

But, for a while, there was Camelot....
