Only live timing for the first hour it turned out. So of course we missed the round of stock and super stock. Think TV started with Rinehart and Super Gas. He had the audacity to make some remark about being there early in the morning. Hey the racers have to be there to make the runs, announcers and TV people get paid for being there. Sure it is a grind, you know that going in. Suck it up and be there and do the job so all the fans that are paying for live streaming get what they pay for.

A legitimate business would be embarrassed by such carrying on as I've seen this weekend on the high-tech end of things. But not this shoe string understaffed excuse. Why would they charge you and then put it on YouTube for free which by the way is much more easily manipulated program?

BTW, earlier in the week I questioned why NHRA TV was starting at 1:00 p.m. my time. A woman from NHRA who I recognize her name answered the phone for the TV folks who are not there because they were out at Indy. So she asked me if I wanted a schedule and wanted to know when stock started. I said no I want to know why the video doesn't start till 1:00 p.m. so she said she would email them and get back to me and somebody from the TV program emailed her and asked if I needed a schedule. Again I said I've been doing this for 50 years I know when stock starts and it's not 1:00 p.m.. so then the TV lady says well we had to submit the schedule back in January so that's why it's a little off. A little off? Stock has been starting at 8:00 a.m. for again 50 years. Really Amateur hour out there and in between.

I HATE NHRA TV! When there's a race on I get absolutely nothing done in the shop! I'll never get my cars back to the track!! Really it could be better but for $100 bucks a year I consider it a great deal. I was against giving NHRA a penny more but this is a sportsman racers dream and I find myself watching the Pros also because it is a good show. No Tony P as he makes it easy to turn the TV off

And as far as people cursing Rhinehart, he gets a free pass from me as he is simply the best announcer ever IMHO. He could announce a funeral and have me belly laughing at his quirky comments. And as far as Evans or Meyer, no disrespect but Alan knows and loves the sportsman racers. Now if NHRA had any brains they would be trying to clone him or artificially inseminating women LMAO. Love that guy!!

With the exception of the "late start" this morning I think the coverage of the U.S. Nationals has been very good.

I was very disappointed to miss the rounds of Stock and Super Stock this morning. It looks like the coverage started just after the last car, a single, ran in Super Stock.

I used the help feature to lodge a complaint and asked that it be passed on to management. They said they would. I would suggest everyone else that was affected do the same.

I am with Gator in that NHRA.TV has kept me from getting a lot of other stuff done, my race car included.
