I couldn't agree with you more Floyd...I wrote a letter 3-5yrs ago to National Dragsters "Reaction Time" segment, saying I wanted to see more (TRUE) sportsman racers on television, and obviously that went in one ear and out the other!

The other day, I called ESPN's complaint line--(860) 766-2236, to let them know what I thought of their having an "Inside Nascar", plus pre-empting one of our March national events for College Hockey!!?? If memory serves me correctly that weekend was when the qualifying was shown on Sunday after the "NHRA TODAY" show was on. I haven't heard anything from them yet on that (and I gave them both my cell phone number, and my email address)??? I'm not holding my breath waiting on a reply either!!!

X-Tech Man, I sure hope you're making some progress with regards to that sportsman only (non-alcoholic) sanctioning body that was the subject of numerous threads a few months (+) back, to give us guys something to look forward too...Perhaps "Spike Tv" would be interested in showcasing our racing (if not "Speed Channel")???
