NHRA boots ESPN!

*gasp*

Does this mean there will ACTUALLY be class cars on a broadcast?

I know, I know, wishful thinking...

Hey, Kevin Cradduck was on the broadcast for the GatorNationals 3-4 years ago, when it came back from commercial, for about 15 seconds, they even mentioned his name, and it wasn't because of a crash. We were stunned, Top Fuel racer Scott Palmer actually called us and told us about it, and someone here on class racer was nice enough to make us a DVD of it.

Was Calvert's Fairlane in that broadcast? I remember watching the drags on TV 3 or so years ago and all of a sudden there were a couple of vintage muscle cars toeing the line for a SS final and I instantly decided I had to get back to the track.

I don't think so. They came back from commercial and ran video of the orange 69 Camaro (the stocker) in one of our trademark front wheels in the sky launches, not sure you could even see the other car. It started as the front end came up and ended right after the 1-2 shift and the front wheels touching down.

I'm guessing the live feed will be going away as well, because I don't think Fox Sports Net has offered that capability with the Formula 1 and AMA Superbike broadcasts. I just wish they (ESPN) would have left the live feed alone like it was when they first started it, so you could turn up the NHRA audio feed, turn down the sound on the video and actually have an real opportunity to enjoy the Sportsman Classes that they made available. When it became another "showcase" for the Professionals, I quickly lost interest! Hopefully this new network will be an improvement.
