ESPN Drag racing coverage SUXS
Qualifing at 2 am. and then will probably start late. I hate to say it. God i Hate ESPN Dont know why NHRA is in bed with them. There TV coverage and scheduling for drag racing suxs. YOu would think with all the $$$ NHRA makes they would either set up their own channel, or do partnership with some other motorsports for better coverage and air times.

I suspect it all has to do with ratings. If not many watch, it gets stuck in a 2AM time slot--simple as that. As much as I enjoy running my car and racing, I use to find myself falling asleep watching NHRA. We quit satellite service years ago and get all our shows off the internet now. NHRA is one of the few things I miss sometimes, but not enough to pay for 150 junk channels just to watch it.

Looks like not just anyone can watch it on that. You have to get your internet service from one of the specified providers, and at least with time warner you have to log in.
Just an fyi. Russ |

Sux isn't the word for it....
It's going to show qualifying right before airing the the finals tomorrow ??!!!! Why the H would I watch Q when I could just watch the main feature ???? NHRA on TV is a bore...period. And I hear people on PY downing NASCAR ....it's better than the NHRA show...period. My  NHRA could take some lessons...and I like drag racing...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
