Looking for some opinions

H.A.A.C. Racing · 06-01-2009, 11:36 AM

Did anyone watching the national event this past weekend think it was wrong to see 12 Extends commercials? I was watching w/ my 8 yr. old daughter & 3 yr. old son and there it was....a pill that makes your tool bigger and makes you last longer! Picture me trying to explain that to my 8 yr. old. I could see if it was 9 @ night, but @ 4 in the afternoon on a Sunday?? I am sure NHRA has no say as to what is advertised, but if they do, it would be nice if they said something. Maybe they could start with telling Rick Stuart not to smoke on national TV while giving a Top Fuel Dragster a bye run? Just think, we can't have numbers taped to our cars during a national event...go figure.

I see your point but it's all about demographics and target marketing. It is what it is unfortunately

I just sucked that the first time my kids really showed intrest in watching with me, I had to try and explain that add. BTW I have a ton of free samples comming if anyone is interested.

WELL.... looking around the pits at the last few races.... I can see what their target market is.... we ain't gettin' younger that's for sure.... and at 54, I seem to among the young ones.... LOL.... and don't give away the samples, sell them.... VP ain't gettin' any cheaper......

Funny thing, my 2 most requested are Tommy De. and Gary Federico. I wonder if they are trying to impress each other? Your welcome for the visual!
