I'm certainly not going to knock the Fox coverage. I would guess that very little of the "techie" stuff carried over from ESPN to Fox, since they developed it and own it (interface to the Compulink timing data, among others), and as I understand it, Fox only had one weekend to test their new equipment in live conditions. It will get better, I'm sure. I don't remember the first ESPN broadcast 16 years ago, but that was a startup (and looked like it) back then as well.
Regarding the $99 live streaming access, that is for the National Event schedule only. I have been told that it does not include the Lucas Oil Divisional events.
D3TV, the live streaming service for the NHRA North Central Division (Division 3) will be back in 2016 with the six LODRS races, along with the JEGS Sportsnationals at Bowling Green, the Summit Racing Series Bracket Finals and the NHRA Fall Classic National Open in Indianapolis.
