Jacks or better to open, any TV the same day is better than no TV for weeks. Like I'm doing anything at ten on a Saturday night. heck even at 7 local I'll still know before the broadcast who made it and who didn't... just watch TV to see how close my mind pictured the passes while listening to the audiocast to what happened at the track and DRC results...
I know, get a life Karl

Until the ratings are better than .6 to .8 for qualifying, there never will be any respect. The ONLY reason they are even on in the first place is because NHRA scratches out a fat check to ESPN every year.
Not real hard to figure out, it has been discussed here ad nauseum, and yet the same thread pops up week after week ....

The Saturday show has gotten so bad that I don't even record it any longer.
Selected cars, very little if any Friday night qualifying when the big numbers are being put up. Just a pi$$pore production program.
I would too, especially if it were a crappy weekend weatherwise where I live.
The problem with that is, the diehards would pay, but the amount of subscribers probably wouldn't pay the broadcast bill. A lot of racers wouldn't pay for it because, well, because they are at the track. Racing.
And I don't envision NHRA would think that is such a swell idea.
As my schedule allows, I try to rotate 3-4 races a year, primarily here in the midlands. *Top, Den, Chi, Stl, Ennis as well as the Winters.
If I can schedule a biz trip to an area around the time of a race I go in early or stay over the weekend and try to attend.
If I could get PPV, I might never go back to Ennis, and maybe not stick around for a couple of days in say, Sacramento to go to a race at Sonoma if I can catch it on TV all weekend. I might only go to 1 event a year.
Event attendance from outside a 250mph radius of the race would surely drop, probably drastically.

And THAT is the reason the ratings stay in the .6 to .8 range.
