FS1 Las Vegas Show

Brett Brown · 04-03-2016, 08:10 PM

Just watched the "Pro" show. Over an hour of B.S. between semi & finals. Got to be able to do something better than the interviews, pit coverage & brain numbing conversations.
Hey Fox, you would be amazed at how much the public would appreciate it if you would at least show the finals of each of the Sportsman categories. Ratings will go up and it's not like you don't have the time. My $.02

FS1 sucks they said a month ago IF there was time they would show all the sportsman final. Their a joke.......Just like espn walking around kissing Forces ***** and crap like that.

They should get Tony and force together for an extended interview, would turn into a cat fight again.

Would be so nice to see the sportsman finals during the waiting time.

They could show the semi-finals and finals since they are hot lapped

Oh but that would require knowledge of the sportsman classes - which neither of those guys know anything about

Tell me I am wrong - I need a good beat down

...plus when they have their "Sportsman" coverage, they only show TAFC and TAD. Really?

I agree with the post above. When they said they were going to show some Sportsman coverage, I thought, "Wow; this is different". Even called my wife downstairs to watch, only to find it was TAD and TAFC. It escapes me how, when probably 90 percent of the people who drag race (and watch drag racing on television) are sportsman racers, NHRA and the networks can't provide even a little coverage. Who do they think watches the stuff?

I don't see much of an improvement from ESPN to FS1. I just can't justify wasting an hour of my time waiting to watch the finals. Adding the late Sportsman rounds would change my opinion.

It would be nice if we had a method of communicating this to FS1 or NHRA.
Thanks, Ron.

You do have a way of communicating it. NEVER think that you don't. What's the saying, "write your congressman..." It's real easy now with e-mail. BTW... I sort of agree with everything written on these posts.
