Want good drag racing tv?? Hire Dean Papadeas.

Was just watching some nhra footage from the late 80's and early 90's, typical fantastic broadcasts from that era. I just watched an ihra broadcast from the same era and it reminded me of how I feel watching an nhra broadcast today.

The ihra broadcast had the same cars as the nhra broadcast but the nhra broadcast was 10 times better and more exciting.

For example

1988 nhra Supernationals

Compared to

1988 ihra supernationals

The IHRA broadcast isn't bad. But when you've got two of the best to ever call a drag race in Dave Mac and Steve Evans, anything is gonna look second rate.

I always liked the IHRA broadcast team of Ted Jones, Bob Varsha, and Bret Kepner.
