Indy Sportsman tv

I thought I saw where Warren was going to be providing sportsman coverage from Indy. Did I dream that? Is that the coverage NHRA is selling? Just trying to see how to watch. Thanks, Mike

They (nhra.tv) claim they'll do all six days:

"The Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, “The World’s Biggest Drag Race,” takes place over six days at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis and for the first time ever, fans can watch burnout to turnout coverage of all six days, including all of the Sportsman racing action, which includes the prestigious and exciting class racing in Stock. "

Hopefully Warren will chime in when he wraps up at BG. Saw the NHRAtv offering and assume it will be a Warren type production on Wed/Thurs. Last thing I want is to buy the package and hear Tony drone on about the fuel cars while sportsman racing is going on.

I don't think I've ever heard Tony on NHRA.tv, for stock it's usually Alan. You hear whatever goes out over the PA at the track.

Warren indicated on another thread that he was working with NHRA for the Wednesday/Thursday action, just would like him to provide insight since if it’s regular NHRAtv then don’t know why Warren would be part of the production. A Warren, Unk, Alan tag team with Warren’s usual camera placement would be beyond AWESOME!

My understanding is that the extra coverage will be announced by Alan and Brian Lohnes.

So, here's the deal... I have asked for the rights to cover Wednesday and Thursday at Indy for the past three years through D3TV / dragracer.tv, offering to do it for free each time because I think it is very important to the sportsman community. The first two years I was flatly turned down. This year, they agreed to allow me to do it and feed it (using my setup) to NHRA.tv. About three weeks ago, the plan changed slightly - they are bringing in their trucks early and setting up on Tuesday instead of Thursday. I will be producing Wednesday and Thursday from their facilities, and then assisting the remainder of the weekend once their full crew gets there starting Friday. I'm happy that we were able to come to an agreement to cover the full event, and I'm hopeful that people will subscribe for the full weekend package to demonstrate to NHRA that sportsman coverage is something people want. Also, if you're already a season subscriber, the extended coverage is included.
Thanks as always for the support and positive comments. I'll do my best to bring you a good show.

Disregard, I found it.

On nhratv site it's saying broadcast is starting at 11am. Is this correct? Are we going to miss qualifying on Wednesday and class on Thursday and Friday?
