Video at NHRA events

Daryl is pretty much right.

IHRA is almost non-existent to Miwestern racers. NHRA is no picnic and it continues to "draw flies" with the Pro categories dwindling away to just a couple competitive teams.

If I had anyting to do with NHRA I would accept ANY EXPOSURE as a marketing tool. I agree that accidents and such may have no place on the web as lawyers LOVE THAT! But as far as sportsman racing videos showing wheelies, burnouts, in-car views....they are a great way to pass the winter months. NHRA camera views are always "clouded" by clutch smoke, sponsor stickers and who can tell what funny car or top fuel wing the camera is in?

No put a camera in a 8-second Hemi-4-speed car, a SS/GT that leaves with the wheels up and you have something worth watching and there isn't a Force interview to be found. A complete round by round video of a Sportsman event would be awesome if it had reaction times or was tied to 1320go.com. I would pay to watch that.

BTW....great job Daryl at the Moser Shoot-out!!
