I thought I heard that John was going to speak with racers and others about trying to setup an NHRA instead of having ESPN as TV provider during the Friday ESPN3 coverage?
ESPN exec's sweating over losing the NHRA coverage:
That's some funny chit right there!
Well Barrett Jackson needs a new home and then there are hundreds of classic Hot Rod and Custom Car Shows every year and Pass Time and A bunch of Gearhead Shows and archives of Motorsports spanning decades .
Wouldn't be a stretch to put on a Cable channel for Gearheads who would know 24/7 they could Tune in for that which we can't find any of anymore .
Get someone to do automotive racing related news and then think of the Infomercials about Automotive related products and new rides .
Turn it on and break off the knob !
Yes that would be great.......But wasn't there already a channel like that on cable.................what was it called.................Speed...................Now its Fox Sports 1 and it sucks bad.
Fox is CBS .....CBS is Disney....... CBS Disney owns ESPN............. NASCAR On Fox Sports 1, ESPN and CBS, everything else is gone................ now do you get it...........

An all NHRA channel I wouldn't think could fly. Now a Drag Racing channel I think would work. It would have to be appealing to a wide group, not just fuel racing. That way the network could attract advertising aka money. There's a lot to cover NHRA, IHRA, ADRL, Nostalgia racing, Imports, Sportsman racing, old Diamond P shows, reruns of past events, there's a lot there. The thing that will drive it is advertising.
A few corrections. Fox is NOT CBS. CBS is NOT Disney. ABC is Disney as is ESPN. Nascar is on Fox and soon to be NBC. ESPN and CBS do not want it. The old TNN was bought by CBS/Viacom (who is nick and MTV, BET, etc) and that's what killed it in the late 90s. Viacom and CBS have since split. But yes, with a little research you'd be surprised just who owns who.
