I'm glad I offered some understanding to some of you. For the rest of you, I learned long ago to never argue with ghosts. Thus ends my participation in this thread.

FED, I do not work for, nor do I have any connection with, the National Hot Rod Association. Sorry to ruin your fun. LOL!

Bret--I think you misunderstood me I never said you worked for the NHRA--- Aren't you maybe assigned an announcing job or you are involved with the production of the show--Who decides what will be shown on the individual show??? Could you on your own say we're gonna do only Sportsman today or is the subject matter chosen for you??? Who actually makes the decision as to who/what is going to be the subject matter for an episode??? The production company--the shows producer or director--the NHRA???? Somebody/someone makes the decision who is it???? That is what alot of this discussion is about.

I understand somewhat how TV shows work my Son in Law is involved with Fox/Showtime/ABC and has done about 25 years as an A camera operator also has done quite a bit working with Spielberg and Dreamworks as well as other studios doing feature length films and many many commercials for Bud/Buick/Ford/Chevy just to name a few as well as other major companies too...

So I guess the question everbody is really asking is WHO makes the decision???

NHRA makes the decisions on what is shown on their coverage on National events and they have chosen to leave sportsmen out entirely.
