Hey Headchopper if you read all the posts on this topic all drag racing fans agree that Greg Anderson class was pretty ****y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What would make Greg Anderson's day if Jason Line was to leave summit Racing and went to work for W.J. or better yet Victor Cagnazzi racing!!!!! I'm Racer also I bracket race snowmobile that is faster then anything you might have (8.60s) but maybe not also.

Nope SC Dragster here running 7.90's off the stop. Bring that snow sled on! Jason will not be leaving Greg anytime soon. Why leave? So he can go back to running a 13 second stationwagon? As stated above he has one of the best Prostock rides out there.

Hey Chopper, I think that snowmobile will take you in a heads up.

Your math isn't very good if you think 8.60's outruns 7.90's. Case closed.

With 6 HOURS of coverage I thought sportsman coverage would be there. They filled in the between rounds of the fuel classes with so much BS that I tuned out. These fuel racers must really think the drag racing world revolves around them. Personally , I'm sick of the fuel cars , sick of Mike Dunn and the crew , sick of ESPN and the emphasis on fuel cars. I tuned out off and on throughout the day and EVERY time I tuned in it was fuel cars. Boring , ugly *** fuel cars ( at least the funny cars anyway ). I really hope this category just dies and goes away soon.
Pro stock is almost as boring any more.
Pro Mod is cool , Super Stock and Comp are always cool.
One of the reasons I prefer the heads up deals ( NMCA etc etc ) so much now is the variety and break from traditional NHRA style racing. The NHRA is an old , archaic sanctioning body that needs a complete overhaul. I rarely attend anything other than sportsman racing at the national events ( thurs ).
Antron Brown , Tony Shumacher , Force etc etc ..........get over yourselves..............plenty of guys like myself aren't impressed with your "circus" cars . Please just go away..................FOREVER.
ESPN , to all of you who covered the race at Indy , you could have had a nice blend of sportsman coverage with the Pro classes , which was EXACTLY what I assumed you were going to do..................instead you proved once again that you assume the world revolves around fuel cars...........and for this , you suck...............yes , you really do.

Not to snap you back to reality, Joe, but why did you think there would be any sportsman coverage during the Full Throttle show? The "suits" at NHRA are paying ESPN to showcase the cars that the sponsors want the public to see, namely those loud and flashy fuel cars! So yes, as far as the people footing the bill are concerned, the world does revolve around Top Fuel and Funny Car. And as long as the sponsors are happy getting their logo's in front of John Q. Public, it's going to stay that way. If the corporate-types don't care that the program that they're paying for is preempted by high school baseball, do you really think that NHRA is going to care either? Have you ever seen a NASCAR show start late? They've moved NBA games to accommodate NASCAR!

Let's see what happens this Sunday with the Lucas Oil show, provided it's not programmed to follow high school lacrosse or bowling. If we get more than 30 seconds of Stock and Super/Stock coverage, I'll be thrilled!!
