It just does not make since that they have an hour show dedicated to sportsman but show mostly alky cars. Your average espn viewer probably can not differentiate between the alcohol cars and the nitro cars, and just wonder why they are so slow, and where are the big names. To me if you were going to take a separate hour for sportsman you would make it seem unique, and show more of the full bodied cars, and the variety of cars/engines you get in comp, stk, and ss. Dont get me wrong I love to see the alcohol cars get tv time. I have and hopefully will be working in the alcohol pits next year, as well as taking my first stab at class racing. Im sure that has been brought up many times, but I just had t say it.

I agree. But as long as theres a Force in a class, thats all your gonna see.

Hey now... I am a force fan. I have been a Force fan long before the reality show and the multi car teams. The guy created an empire from scratch. Those are my favorite kind of people.

The Force money train isn't slowing down any. What else could you ask for, but 3 hot daughters to be the future of JFR. It took Brittney BRAT a little while to jump on board, but money overcame being a $35K a year teacher.

Agree, it's a shame.

If I could decide, TAD and TAFC would be pro classes and PSM would be completely removed from NHRA... but thats me...
