I would love to watch stock and super stock on tv, maybe I will fire off an email to glendora and see if I get a response.

I feel the main problem with the alcohol classes. Is that most of them can't afford to race. You talk about Frank Manzo he is a professional and doesn't oil the track every other run.
I feel they should be in the pro classes so they (the ones that deserve it) could get the sponsorships needed to race effectively.

alcohol cars held the race up evertime down the track, i only think one pair made it all the way down the track

I think they (the alky trash) should run right before Top Fool and Nitro Ha Ha cars at National events ONLY so they can oil the track for those losers and have the Pro classes be put behind in the schedule. Makes for better TV time....LOL.

They should have a weekly show even if it a half hour just for class racing. It could be hosted by Jeggie and maybe Bruno Massel since he does have a following from his shows already. Something to go over results of racing across the country and do some tech stuff on the cars and classes. It would introduced and explain class racing to new people and put the spot light on people who deserve it and sponsors some tv time.

That will be some show ,
What did they have 8 car between the 2 classes
LOL

Have you guys lost the ability to comprehend written words?The point was that it's another year and the boobs in Glendora have bypassed sportsman racers again the oppertunity to get a little TV recognition.Like maybe showing all the sportsman finals and maybe a short interview in a one hour show.
This is why nothing will ever change.

They NEED to be put out of business ! Maybe the IRS will lock them all up.

Glendora may have some input but the ESPN producers make the decisions on what gets broadcast. The ESPN people are new to drag racing and are fascinated with the nitro classes, for good reason. Until they evolve there will be no change. They really don't care much for prostock classes either.

It's just so frustrating. I bring friends and family to the track to watch S/SS and they all love it, even the ones who have never seen it before. I just wish we could get a little intelligent coverage. It drives me crazy to watch "Pinks" dumbing down our beloved sport to the point of silliness. Americans can understand NFL and MLB, arguably the most complex and confusing sports ever invented! Give us a shot at enjoying real sportsman drag racing! I'm not holding my breath...
