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.

They have enough time on Sunday to do exactly that. Just cut back on the foo-foo. I can recall a few years back they did a lot of tech discussions on the workings of Pro Stock, in-depth interviews and driver exposes and a lot more in-car filming than they do today. Another thing missing this weekend - clips of all the final sportsman rounds. Didn't see any of that. And don't get me started on the audio which in my opinion is only a step or two above what you get with a cell phone.

On the other hand I suppose we should be grateful there's at least someone out there covering our sport. FS1 could cull NHRA drag racing at any time only to be replaced by Japanese little-league baseball or competition curling so there's that, too.

Carl, glad you mentioned the audio! I am afraid to bring this up on the site, with so many here being perfectly happy with it, and any mention of it brings up unfair accusations of being a “complainer”.
I can only imagine how fantastic Fox and .TV would be if they had quality audio instead of the uninspired mess we put up with every event

Thx for not showing all of pro stock amd what little u did show you had to play that stupid background music,im sure the sponsors appreciate the lack of coverage.

"Music" was disgusting.... Give us a break......

Like Antron and Hagen working out at the gym or Brittany Forces cats, Kalitta flying private jets and 747's, what Capps eats for breakfast, a handful of fuel drivers doing a wine tasting contest in Sonoma. It goes on and on with this stupid crap. And ABSOLUTELY quit showing the same damn replays of first and second round prior to the semi's when we've already watched them.

WFO radio on youtube

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 gave in a couple years ago and pay for NHRA.tv myself. My biggest gripe is that when there is a delay, they will pop up a little bar saying “Top Fuel back on track at 1:30pm ET.

That isn’t helpful when you watch the event the day after and it’s a completely different time. They need to add a current time stamp when those pop up. That way we can see. Oh it’s 11:30 in video time and they are coming back in 2 hours, scrub up 2 hours.

Better yet, a click to resume button would be awesome that you click on replay and the recording junos to when racing resumed.

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.

So one example is Kalitta Air and MAC Tools, the only tool truck allowed at Kalitta Air is MAC Tools supplying all the mechanics in return MAC sponsors Kalitta.
Maybe a wash?? if not greatly offset.
Kalitta Air and DHL more than likely help each other out with shipping.
It is not a bad thing just greatly benefits both companies.

Now John Force and Peak, John doesn't supply a "product" and Peak foots the whole bill.

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.

Jim, your almost as old as I am. I remember those "good old days". I used to watch Fox before I discovered Nhra.Tv, can't stand to listen to T. Pedregon. The current announcing crew is pretty good and as far as the sound goes I can't tell the difference. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please everyone all the time!
