The Sunday Final Elimination schedule for the NorthWest Nationals runs from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, so that makes for a long day in front of the tube. It covers rounds in 11 classes running in different formats like flat out, .90 and handicap start. I think it would confuse a lot of newcomers to the sport.

In general, I don't think drag racing makes for good live TV with all the track prep and clean up that tends to slow down the pace of the day. I would like to see the semis or quarters of Stock and Super Stock edited in to fill the time usually devoted to watching Jimmy Prock's crew turn wrenches, though.

Find someone with an Apple TV box and try to sit through the Watch ESPN replay of Sanoma to see what you are asking for. It's basically a live recorded feed from fixed cameras.
