NHRA/ESPN must be listening!
 
Much better coverage of Stock and Super Stock from Houston this afternoon on ESPN2! They even showed Hagen Gary's wheelstand in slo-motion!:D

Maybe there is HOPE for NHRA promotional support for the Sportsman ranks after all.... I think it would be a good idea for S/SS racers to notify NHRA and ESPN of their appreciation of the coverage!!!! (And desire to see more...)

Too bad we did not get a heads up prior to it airing

I skipped it figuring it would be the usual alcohol stuff

:-) peace

A suggestion, perhaps it would help to WRITE to ESPN , thanking them for the better coverage and suggesting they might consider airing longer segments on class racers. The half hour afterwards was devoted to top sportsman,so maybe there is hope , if they realize there is an audience for class racing coverage.

Thanks man, My dad has put alot of work into that car. The car in the other lane isn't to shabby either. It was pretty cool seeing the race on TV, but I can't find the slow mo shot. I heard it was aired durring the pro coverage.

Hagen, that is a very nice car. I'm almost embarrassed to park next to you in the staging lanes. Congrats! Please tell your Dad I said "Hi!"

There will be even more coverage of S & SS when they figure out its an untapped market, just wait till its the 60s all over when nhra puts into affect the new classes and the factories really get involved.
