Default Re: Spectators watch SS/AH?

As I said in another post on this subject, PINKS > LOVE IT OR HATE IT <, it's the most watched show on Speed Channel. You racer's want exposure and NHRA won't give it to you? Then approach Rich on Pinks. Think out of the box for once. Who care's what you think of Pinks? Their "garbage" get's air time how many times a week? At least half-a-dozen. How many of you (or your dad's) hated to listen to Muhamed Ali shoot his mouth off before a fight but you couldn't break away from the tube when it was broadcast? In drag racing, what about Muldowney & Garlits? I can't even remember the name of the male / female tennis player in the 70's that brought tennis to the masses (the feminist and the whatever he was). But they all brought their sport to the forefront with controversey. You see it all the time on this very forum. The controversial subjects get all the hits. You don't think you could create some good old fashioned controversey with the SS/AH teams? I've spoken to at least one owner / driver that was such an arrogant SOB my friend and I couldn't stand listening to him brag about himself anymore (and that would NOT be from the Julie Jordan camp!). And when we we were looking for an exit strategy, he told us "you may leave now!" We still laugh our *** off on that one! I've seen enough banter between east coast- west coast on this forum. There's material here and I think there's an audience waiting for it to happen. And it would outperform PINKS by a huge margin.
Julie, you live close to Hollywood. You've got the script, take it!
