no time like the present to talk up the next race/s.
all 3 cuadras so far putting PS @ 19. d. rivers usually attends, but was at first ihra gig @ nat. trail. not sure if he'll show
class elims next thursday, aug. 5th. nothing better than class!
hopefully dunn racing will show for FC, leaving field at 16. 10 TF'rs again. i still wish they'd just qualify 8 and spread money to all. byes suck.
double d/regional starts stacking early next week. have a feeling this race is going to draw a lot of racers.

Steve Rentjes or Glenn Cromwell , if you can find him. In the old days Compton always took the time to listen, don't know how Glenn is, never spoke to him

I don't disagree with your opinion. If you boil it down to actual track time they could easily show every race in 60 minutes with all 4 classes shown and that's allowing 1 minute per race. Throw in some driver and crew chief interviews and you have a show.

earlier this summer around the norwalk nat. event and the double d/regional that preceeded it, there was discussion regarding how and where
racers pitted; those running one weekend, and those running two. next weekend bir has announced on their event info page regarding upcoming
double d/regional, racers attending both weekends will be parked in a spot to remain for two weekends. those only attending next weekend
need to vacate property by noon on monday the 11th ....... nhra probably takes over the property on monday afternoon? or tuesday morning?

Maybe so but people don't want to see what Brittany had for breakfast, Antron playing on the practice tree inside his lounge or Hagen and Bruno working out at the gym or riding go carts. People want to see cars going down the track

don't forget about what Hagen wore to the track today! Seriously it is their attempt to focus on the drivers as much as the cars. Many folks go to see their favorite (or their least fav) race and want to learn more about them. Me, I'd rather hear the crew chiefs.

FWIW, this is how I've gotten used to watching races. I rarely watch live.

Why spend 3 hpurs watching mostly filler when I can fast forward to the actual runs. There may be some replays or interviews, but it takes about an hour, often less, to watch a 3 hour broadcast.

One thing I have learned is if it's live, always record whatever follows the NHRA race because they often run long and the final rounds go past the 3 hr window.

although we don't like it, we all know the only way to grow the tv audience and hopefully draw more live attendance
is the fluff to build the characters. it's not the red car vs. the blue car, it's erica/elite vs. greg/kbt

I set my recorder for 1 extra hour and usually wait to start watching.
