I watched the race this weekend. What poor coverage of the Pro Stock Class. They covered only the highlights of many rounds yet we see Matt Hagan on a go-cart track. What are they thinking. I fear this may be the end of Pro Stock Class as with so little coverage it will be hard to get or retain sponsors. We wont see the staging duels of the past.
 
Yup, you would think not having PSM run this week that Pro Stock would get some air time. Nope. Also I love the sudden rivalry between NHRA and IndyCar that Bob Tasca started.

There’s an old saying from the book of American Slang;
The sun don’t shine on the same dog’s ass all the time.

Well, it wasn't Indycar he was calling out, but Fox Sports for misrepresenting the facts.

I'd guess it was someone with a fresh Journalism degree, who has never been to any kind of motorsport event, that came up with the sensationalist tagline.

As for coverage of the NHRA races, I never watch the broadcasts, as TV just does not do them justice.
 
I just wish there was more variety in Pro Stock.....Just about all a Camaro with an occasional Mustang.....

If it helps, the ProStock Camaros and Mustangs have as much in common with the street legal versions, as cats have with elephants.

The cars all have four tires, the animals have four legs, but that's where the similarity ends.
 
I will chime in and say drag racing coverage in the old days wasn’t much, just magazines. Then we got at least a little, then seemed like good coverage- not sure what years - now the last few years back to terrible coverage.

How big is the fan base these days? Everything for roundy round and avante garde F1?
