INDY on ESPN - Page 2

The Indy coverage was pathetic. Anyone that watches any NHRA coverage should know all about John Force from head to toe since that is all they talk about. No offense to JF. Punks, I mean Pinks is a pathetic soap opera about drag racing. They don't even use the tree. People that don't know drag racing that watch this would be confused, what is that thing in the middle of the track. When will someone wake up and show some real sportsman drag racing, what will it take? We got scrabble, texas hold-up and spelling bees on ESPN2, but no real sportsman drag racing. The best they can do is Punks. No wonder I don't watch any TV, thank God it is football season ....

>> You have to look real close to find the LODRS coverage to get your 15 seconds of real Sportsman coverage now......

IHRA covers their national event sportsman final rounds. SPEED Channel.

It's been said before but as long as theres shoe polish on the windows the fans won't take us serious. They don't like it or understand it. With some divisions eliminateing heads up races what can the racers do to increase the fan base. Its all about getting fans in the stands. I've emailed NHRA, Lucas Oil and ESPN in the last year complaining about the lack of sportsman tv. Each and everyone of them plamed it on the other group. Nobody would want to take credit for that crap. Pinks Allout is the best we got. The regular pinks sucks.
