US Nationals? Not so much.
Like a cherry on top, I searched to see if the race had been delayed/canceled for rain or whatever....nope...I find no info like that, but I did see who won the Traxxas FC deal. ESPN's site is who spoiled it for me. Great. Absolutely stellar stuff ESPN.
Then I go to NHRA Facebook page, and there's a bunch of people feeling the same way about the US Open coverage. I'll give it to the NHRA. At least they didn't post who won the FC side of the Traxxas deal yet, everyone was posting their US Open gripes under the entry for Antron and the TF Traxxas deal.
How's that social media thing working out? Hashtag Stupid Hashtag Annoying Hashtag CantwaitforFOX

Like an even bigger cherry on top, I am still stewing about having to watch Huey and Louie watch the drag racing while I get to watch them watch the drag racing.
I speak of that waste of space that is "Baptism by Nitro". Thanks. I could have seen the first half of TJ Zizzo's run, but nah. Why would I want that? (I think it was TJ, but who knows, I was seeing red)
I mean, why watch a dragster when I can watch a guy and another guy watch the dragster for me. It's a brilliant campaign NHRA. (sarcasm) Lose it, and do it ever so quickly.
Keep it all on your facebook page. Have the giveaway there, have the clip of the winners enjoying the Baptism moment of fame there, it's for them anyway. Sure, mention it on TV, point them to where they can goober all over it on facebook, but seriously, why do I have to watch it every race in lieu of the actual racing I've tuned in to watch? This stupid stuff is truly getting out of hand. It's like Julie the Cruise Director is at the helm of the ship, and we all know she is gonna beach that love boat, but dammit, we'll all have fun while it's happening!
Stop making it an infomercial. If you weren't self-promoting every minute on the minute, you might actually make an exciting racing program.
Yes, I'm Olympic Level whining here. I can do that. I've seen so much better, and with twenty years since that "better", it's unnatural to think that in that time, coverage has tripled in length (and more), yet is still worse than the coverage I saw thirty (+) years ago. Amazing really. It's like the most amazing magic trick ever.
It's better than screaming at the TV and waking everyone up. You see, it's a long holiday weekend, it's after midnight, and I am up late watching the US Open.

I guess I'll just speed through the tennis and watch it in the morning before the ESPN3 feed.
