NHRA & ESPN must HATE sportsmen.

I spent about 7 hours with the laptop yesterday, Dave. It was pretty cool to see everything in its "raw" form, plus I got to see Larry and Kevin's heads-up and all the rest of the sportsman rounds that were run. Much of the webcast, and all of the S/SS etc., had NO talking. My only complaints: #1) 7 hours. It was impossible to try and gauge when the next round of S/SS would be running, due to lots of downtime (and not knowing the run schedule), so I just stuck with it through the whole thing.
#2) No finish line camera or win lights for the classes that aren't televised. I had to check DRC to find out the winners of each round. (Except the finals - since that gets shown on their "Sportsman" show, they had Dave R. and Lewis B. announcing for those.)
I personally hope they do more of the Nats this way - I'd definitely have to figure out a way to record the webcast!
