Just wait until the 12 yr old checkers tournament runs 30 minutes over and your DVR only gets the first half of the NHRA...

Pisses me off every week. Yes, I'm glad they put it on TV, but it seems like they do it just to mess with us.

Thumbs down

Amen...and when will NHRA have enough "cred" to get a race rebroadcast in the same 24 hr cycle? (So you could record it later).

Race Finals competing w final episodes of Breaking Bad, etc. on Sunday prime time slot. Really NO Other time slots available ESPN? Don't wanna miss 6 Hours of "NFL on ESPN Radio"!!!!

Did anyone get it all recorded?

Of course 'Sport Center' went over 30 minutes.


But, being used to that, I recorded an additional hour.


Went and watched it, of course it ended at the Pro Stock runs.
Went to the recorded additional time, it was 'a new Sport Center'?
Nothing but crap on the last part.

ESPN treats NHRA like an ugly red-headed step-child.

Watch it on your computer on ESPN3. Live and no commercials!

You have to have the right provider to get that.

Has anyone ever considered that it's not ESPN's fault, but NHRA's, because they're not throwing enough money ESPN's way? I mean, you can't tell me there are more viewers tuning in to watch little league badminton than there are tuning in to watch drag racing.
