Default Re: Ridiculous commentary

Back to Warren's comments, specifically about spectator count and down playing the Nationals. It does seem kinda ironic for Alan Page and company to keep going on about how big the Nationals are (which they are of course, there is no disputing that) and then keep seeing the bleachers not even close to full. I think he's right that NHRA's ticket pricing strategy is all wrong and they should look at ADRL and others. Also, they and ESPN should see what SPEED is doing and show real racers racing and not just fill 5 hours of air time with countless interviews, many of which were filmed in Seattle in July. On Warren and Kurt, makes you wonder how a couple of hard working dedicated racers might ultimately be pushed out because of politics.
