Motor Mania TV will broadcast live the IHRA ProAm opener in Florida. What network is this on?

It's online, I think on dragzine.com site. This company does a lot of live events, spring flings, yellow bullet nationals, the million bracket event. Nice to see them venture into the sportsman events of the IHRA

IHRA did it last year at the World Finals in Memphis, TN. Apparently it was so well recieved that they are doing it again, and at a divisional race at that!

Great for sponsors, family, friends, etc. Only downside is that you can't watch it "live" AND be racing!

I watched the Finals last year and couldn't believe how great this this Motor Mania Live TV thing is! They did a super job and I'm looking forward to this years Motor Mania Live TV this year! Everyone should come to Immokolee and be a TV Star! See you there! Jim

I've already gotten quotes on having Mark Walter's DragStory.com/MotorManiaTV providing this kind of coverage for the Northern Class Nationals in Columbus 2014. I will be working on getting a title sponsor in order to make it happen.

I sure wish IHRA would've been better received out west...we could've used the competition to maybe incourage NHRA to reduce their competition costs since class contingencies and the whole class racing structure has been changed to benefit them and the posters instead of benefitting all of us!

I hope you guys/gals out east (and in the central USA) enjoy your options....I won't trade my weather for yours, but I sure would like your racing options....

Hats off to IHRA for their TV "Enhancement" to sportsman racers. It's time for the NHRA hardcore folks to take a look over there. I think the racers should try to support IHRA events in order to show appreaciation for their effort to make sportsman racing thrive through TV exposure. It is very refreshing to see some news, and come away thinking...hey, I like that.....instead of thinking...I don't know how much more of this I can take. If my car were ready (soon) I would have no problem supporting the folks that support me. It takes effort on both sides to grow!
