They did a Summer Nationals and it was exciting.
But it was all edited by the time it was shown on TV.

They showed all the classes and they did interviews with fans, management and Drivers.

Not one of them mouthed off all their sponsors in a 15 second burst.
They showed the drivers working on their cars.

Cameras were mounted on a pole or crane. Which allowed them to use different shots. Even was able to show the handicap between the cars in the different classes and why the cars were being handicapped.

Showing Drag Racing live for the viewer is not the way to go.

I agree Dan......sadly, live drag racing does not and probably will not make for great TV. There is too much downtime for today's viewers and the announcers can only talk about so much.

Everyone (pros too) would have to be able to hot lap to keep fans interest live.
