NHRA Does It Again - Dragracer.tv

[Allen Wilson III]

Very disappointed to see the YouTube option going away. This was geared towards Sportsman racing and I thought the coverage was better than NHRA.TV unless it was the final rounds with full cameras going.

I'd like to know what they're going to do to deliver a better service than is currently being provided, especially if they're going to ask for money beyond what we are already paying for NHRA.tv.

Warren - thanks for all you've done to showcase the sportsman racing.

Terrible news. Thanks, Warren and Unk. Geez, NHRA screws up something else.

Forgot one other option discussed. There’s talk of including coverage in the membership package . Get your pocketbooks ready. They need to pay for their poor $10 million dollar live tv coverage deal.

This is a huge disappointment.....

Warren did a great job and I watched many races and enjoyed them all

Announcers were always excellent....

I did have NHRA TV for 1 or 2 seasons but refused to renew it after endless issues and they did not seem to improve.

I have really enjoyed being able to watch the divisional stuff over the years. Rarely have time to sit and watch or able to watch live. But I would put it on in the shop and listen all day. Maybe stop and watch a class I was interested in. Or put it on after the fact. Never had NHRATV. Don't expect I will.

I'm the guy with the pin, the patch, the mug, the hat, the T-shirt, the rulebook...

Never thought I would say it, but screw NHRA. Greedy a-holes.

They going to share that money with the tracks?

[Lenny5160]

I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, but I will anyway out of support for what Warren brought us.

I loved the ability to watch early and late-season races, or have something on in the garage while working on my stuff. I liked that my parents and friends could watch me racing from halfway across the country.

I can see why NHRA would want to get any capital to be gained from races they own, but the expense and loss of exposure will probably outweigh any gross revenue gained.

This is a big loss to the sportsman racers and their fans.

They used to include the announcer feed from National Events with membership - before NHRATV. I thought that was a great benefit and had it on in the shop for all the races.

Thank you, Warren, for all you did. Definitely enjoyed the viewing!

Well, the service on NHRA.TV did improve, but not by much. I don't know if it's my desktop which is about 8 yrs old (w/latest FireFox as recommended) but I can count on one hand the number of full runs I see from start to finish every race. Stopping, stuttering, freezing. Really annoying. Why can Warren and MotorMania and others that I assume all use YouTube can be so problem-free for sometimes 12 hours straight!! They said that when Sony (THE Sony) came on board it would improve......still waiting. Let's see what the new year brings! And Thanks Warren for bringing us the race coverage.
