Pomona Sportsman Televised Coverage

Now again, I wish for a return of "Diamond P Sports", and their coverage of our great sport...we sure had more coverage there!

I still am enjoying the ALL DAY coverage of the 1996 FRAM/AUTOLITE NATIONALS, that included one of the finest days for Peter Biondo (S/S Winner), and Scotty Richardson (Stk Winner). Steve Mc Farland, you had a 2nd round race where (after your launch) you briefly were headed towards the tree in your (former) '69 Mustang B/S car. I enjoy watching you quickly recover from that, keep the peddle to the metal as you're banging them gears, and chasing your opponent down and getting the round win---you had a pretty darn good race to (making it I recall to the semi's)!!!

Recalling a former thread about what I'd do with a million dollars? I think I'd try real hard to make it more, so I could pursue either an investment in a tv network that would give NHRA reason to break our lack-luster show coverage on ESPN, or by creating a new network that would...we could have an "INSIDE THE NHRA", a "NHRA THIS WEEK", or how about this one "THE SPORTSMAN FOCUS" (a show that would be certain to cover weekly news, weekend results, and national/divisional racing coverage throughout the country...what do you think racers???
