I have to comment...
 

I have to comment on the 'award' ceremony honoring Jeg Coughlin as 2013 Mellow Yellow Pro Stock Champion.
I understand there are the official ceremonies the next evening but...if you are going to try and sell your sport on TV, please have a respectable ceremony.
A person holding a 'swaying in the wind' cardboard check in the background...a Mellow Yellow corporate rep...,I assume, a drunk/uncaring/I don't want to be here looking Tom Compton on the other side...cheesy overgrown sparklers...what a shame.
As a drag race fan...its embarrassing.
No kudos or words from Compton, no words from 'Corporate'. Sad sad sad....just my opinion.

I agree, not very professional looking.

:eek::eek::eek: I couldn't agree more. Like I have said before, looks like Tom doesn't even want to be there. I have never met Tom, but he sure doesn't present himself as the leader of N.H.R.A. He shows virtually no interest and doesn't dress the part. I think he should at least wear a N.H.R.A. jacket to show support. For the money he is paid, he sure is a poor representative of the industry. As for the display, I guess it has to be very portable (cheesy). The overgrown sparklers are pretty lame also. Just my 2 cents, but I have heard the same from a whole lot of people.

Replace Tom Compton with Austin Coil.



That would shake things up at several levels.

That was a sad TV display for a champion .

It's costs money to do it correctly, when have you ever heard of NHRA doing anything that cost them money.

Compton looked pathetic and acted the same.

Re: I have to comment...
 

On another note I loved the win by Rickie Jones! What a show of true passion for the sport unlike the Nitro guys who win by money spent how about a win on true hardwork! I miss that in NHRA sooooo much!
