Qualifying Show

I`m surprised nobody`s complained about the bowling running over into the drag racing time slot! I fell asleep about 10 minutes into the show.

And they wonder why it is so hard for Pro Stock guys to get any big sponcors.They get almost no TV time.ESPN Sucks

I agree guys! Those two hours were a TOTAL waste of my sleeping time. I forced my-self to stay up to just see how much time Pro Stock was gonna get. I counted maybe 4-5 minutes. Why did NHRA and ESPN feel they needed to show ALL the sessions of the fuel cars complete? I wont be watching anymore qualifying shows! I MIGHT watch the elimins thru out the year, but that will depend on how much time Pro Stock gets today.
The late start didnt bother me, heck, Im used to them starting late due to other "sports" running over!

I went back through the show with my dvr pausing to try and see who was on the sides of WJ and KJ's cars and even on my huge flat screen I could not tell not only on thiers but several cars. When will ESPN/NHRA figure out that this sport runs on money and if you cant see the name of your company on the side of the car you are sponsering you are not going to keep it there very long.

Was lucky I was slow changing channels at midnight,had missed beginning ,so thought had missed P/S and they said last T/F run was end of day so thought show was over, then lo and behold Pro Stockers come on afier commercial break. Looks to me as they're aiming broadcasts for the "I want to see crashes,smoke and fire" audience, not people who love racing .
