Instead they have to stick the camera in front on that irritating Beckman and Antron and listen to them ramble on. Show us the races not what the TF drivers are eating or did over the weekend.
They love nitro and hate pro stock. 3 hr show is more than enough time to show every car in every round. Thats why john gaydoshs big sponsor bailed on him sponsoring him bc lack of ps coverage. Just when i though fs1 couldn suck anymore, well it does. And im not interested in nhra tv either bc car sounds are horrible

if i recall, hasn't there been fox broadcasts of nat. events in the recent past where PS and PSB DO show all rounds? i think their first rounds
are usually sped up, but last 3 rnds. are played pretty much at real time?

Yes i hope this was a 1 time thing or im done watching. Nhra wastes so much time like the road to the finals,waste of time
 
It was definitely not good. Every team is spending a ton of money to compete. The sponsors get hosed for not getting a second of TV coverage. And I personally like hearing from the round winners. I know they have a certain amount of time to get the broadcast in but get rid of the fluff.
 
Wife and I were discussing this. Thankfully we record it and FF through most of the replay crap. Replay of qualifying several times a broadcast, endless drivel with no relevance to the race. A few interviews where they go on and on about their alter egos, turning into the WWE. With all that time wasted they could easily show the whole show. As far as PS when 2 teams run most of the cars and they are all one brand there is a loss of interest. Over all rich guys out playing and the few racers with sponsors get burned in the process. Yes there are many names on the cars but most are business relationships not true sponsorships.

How do you define a "true" sponsorship? With large anchor sponsors harder to find than ever, a lot of what you see on today's cars are companies getting involved to grow through B2B relationships, which is very effective. Like Alan always says, not arguing, just discussing.
 
All i know is if they only showed a couple fuel cars all hell would break loose,i guess its true nhra still hates pro stock
 
Hopefully the rumors of FS1 giving pro stock their own show midweek after the race are true. Then the fans can get nitro only live on Sundays and then on Tuesday or Wednesday they will show the pro stock show and give them all the time that a pro class deserves.
 
i don't like the tues/wed show idea. how do you sell to a sponsor in this day of everything instant; i want my product advertised on your car and shown
live, or at least on same day the event happened ....... get rid of the fluff, and cover 3 classes on the 3hr. sunday show. PSB gets in the way of good coverage for PS,
but you've got suzuki doing their displays, so how do you win? who knows ....... i question what having PSB as a pro class actually does for the nhra? in the realm of hosting
nat. events, time on track for all classes, and the topic of this discussion, limited TV time on sunday broadcast.

Used to like PS but when a Chevy ALWAYS wins why bother watching? I'm done with PS. Haven't watched it since it went to an all-Chevy show.

That being said, If FS1 has time to show the replays of the prior wins (that we just watched) of the 2 finalists in TF and FC, then they can devote more time to PS.
 
thank you FS1 for offering the opportunity to Broadcast the sport we all love.... It really feels as if people will find any reason to complain when I am sure FS1 would care less if they lost drag racing because the money they would make broadcasting another sport would bring a lot more. Be thankful we for what we get.
If they are gonna do it then do it right,its not hard.
 
Nhra.Tv is $159.99 a year or about $13 a month. If you've never checked it out their is a huge amount of content there.
I've had NHRA.TV since day one, and yes I've bitched about it a few times over the years (the sound) with
that being said, it's the best thing that's ever happened for watching live drag racing...Bar None
I started going to the drags in 1968 (8 years old) what tv coverage, in the early 70s you had to wait until
March or April to watch the Winternationals. It got better as the decade went on and by the early 80s it
definitely got better with the TNN Network and ESPN. Never have watched a FS1 broadcast, ever.
The way some of you bitch about FS1, I'm not missing anything. I cut the cable 7 or 8 years ago, got Roku.

Give NHRA.TV a chance. 99% sure you will keep it! And please don't reply and f-in bitch about the sound
and the annoucers.
