NHRA & ESPN must HATE sportsmen.

No disrespect to any of you sportsman. I can watch you all day live, but not on TV.

This is just a camera angle and distance problem. All they have to do is a live cam longer and closer shots following the cars down. When ur doing fuel cars they they wide angle the lens cause of the speed. With us, they need to focus on the tree, wheelstands, the incrementals and photo finishes cause there are a lot of them!!

Then get some decent announcers that know the sport, geeze most of the announcers sound like golf announcers. Rick is right, If you really want to see how its done, look at how they make the "Pinks" shows!! They add a little drama to the racing by getting the fans to know the sports. I don't exactly like the way they do it; it needs to be cleaned up a bit, but that's what people like!!

I've seen runs on you tube better that speed channel!!!!
