Default Re: ESPN/NHRA drop the ball again!

I think one of the reasons they don't put the rest of the sportsmen classes is because most of the people at home have not clue about what goes on in ST,SS,COMR,SC,SG,. But they do understand what heads up racing is.I would love to more of all the other classes on TV. It really sucks because I sure allot of sportsmen racers would be in front of the TV to watch.

This is really a non-issue anymore, guys. Every run of Sunday eliminations in every class is live on ESPN3. What in the world do you WANT?

well you asked, ( not trying to be a smart *****)

It would be nice to have the track anouncer feed when the ESPN guys are not announcing.

Not that I am complaining, I love espn3!!!!!

I bet you know who to talk to about this. Thank's Ray

Angry Re: ESPN/NHRA drop the ball again!

I guess my main complaint was that here was an opportunity to showcase OUR Class racing to a wider audience than just US, and maybe, just maybe, get other folks to realize that there are other people in competition at these events, NOT just the Funny Cars and Dragsters. It appears that I might be only one who thinks this way.

Lew , I agree 100 percent. How do new people learn of this great sport than watching it first on tv.I thought we want to teach more people of the great time it is drag racing, the cars and the people of course. We do not get espn3 in my area, new york metro area. People identify with cars they see on the road or used to see. No funny cars commuting where I live. It really is a sin they do not televise the races with no alcohol cars.
Chris.

We tap in to the audiocast and HDMI the ESPN3 feed into the TV and watch it live. It's fairly enjoyable.

I've found out with the ESPN3 Coverage you need to have the NHRA Audio going at the same time. That's what I did most of the time last year. Only problem is that the ESPN 3 Coverage is delayed a bit so the Audio is about 5 seconds faster then the coverage so cars are at mid-track and you already know who won but, I'll take it.
