live coverage.

I have two questions about the live coverage planned for next year:

1. What will they do to fill the down time when the Safety Safari is cleaning oil off the track?

2. What will they do when oil downs put the event 90 minutes behind schedule and there is another event coming up on the TV schedule?

The livestream is great. But the downtimes does hurt it. Could they start showing 90 minutes later and edit out the clean ups. Maybe then by the end of the day it will be caught up to live timing and only some inconvenience of waiting. A little tweaking would make watching much more pleasant

Cut the Nitro and "Alcohol" fields down to 8 cars? Limit nitro cars to 70% and alcohol cars to methanol only? Anything to stop this bye+blow-up stuff. Denver had something like one actual race in the first round of TF/FC.

As a spectator, it amazes me how the pace picks up after the Pro ranks run. The second pair of Comp cars has finished their burn outs when the first pair hits the stripe.

But that's an NHRA thing. Silly me...

Maybe a tv option like the NFL Sunday Ticket where you pay a once a year fee for the whole season and they will let you watch all of the sunday coverage. Sportsman and all.
