Re: Fans don't understand racing?
Wade you are correct about what people conceive as racing.
That is exactly the point I have tried to make. Racing fans understand two line up, two leave at the same time and the first one to the finish line wins. The class eliminations would not make for good tv for the majority of drag racing or any type of racing fans; therefore, ESPN, Fox, who was televising Unleashed and Speed Channel, with Pinks All Out, and the new channel M??, televising the ADRL and the other door slammer races, would not be able to use the time, which is expensive without sponsors, to show class racing that no one understands and would be watching.
"The casual viewer being the only people watching these shows", you might contact the office of SPEED Channel in Charlotte and ask about the viewer numbers. It was not in their plan for the shows to end. Propose a tv show on class racing and outline how the show should be taped and produced and the projected audience. While having the conversation asked them what the TV figures were for the shows everyone hates, you will be REALLY surprised.
Now let's beat up on me again.
