I would enjoy great S/SS/Comp coverage, but I understand why we don't see it.

Ed, I would buy that premise, if people were not watching the Pro coverage of NHRA... I think the same audience would appreciate Sportsman racing just as well, IF it were presented to them properly... my point on the bowling and gambling is that the TV coverage has expanded greatly in both in the last 2-3 years as a result of someone revamping the presentation of those activities (I have a problem calling either a SPORT, even though I am an active USBC bowler myself).
