Why cant Sportsman Racing be like this on TV these days???

[Ed Wright]

To quote David Buckner in another thread:
"I kept trying to explain what the car was and how it was classed, but kept getting blank stares, lol. Just hope they say something about it being a AA stocker. I believe rusty hall went to the final 8 as well in his mustang at the phoenix race, so we should have two stockers back to back shows! Hope y'all enjoy, I know we will.

Same reason nobody but us care to watch us. They don't understand what we do, nor care to learn about it. To the casual fan, after the fuel cars run we look slow and boring as hell. Throw in the handicap starts and break outs? Duh!

They leave the stands as soon as the fuel cars finish and before Pro Stock comes up, which is heads up and much faster than 99% of us.

Watch low ten second cars on pinks run, looks like they are just casualy driving down the track. Not fast enough to be exciting on TV.

Here is an example of what can be done

The person that was suppose to do the streaming didn't show up. They just threw up a static camera and have the audio. Not much cost to it. This was done with very little cost.

This set up was patched together in two days.

That's interesting for independent races,but do you think NHRA wouls allow you to do this at a national event.Read the rulebook for the restrictions on filming at a national event.I'm not sure the policy pertains to divisionals.
