It says that they'd be showing the semi-final and finals runs from Maple Grove not a recap of the season.
They could surely fit those runs into a 1/2 hour.
And based on the fact that TV and the Audiocast would have been non-existant today.....I'd still say SWEET!
As my father would say, "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye." |

Not saying I`m not happy to get to see the race finals, just seems as fragmented as this race is/was, they could find at least a hour show to recap the entire event. You wont do that in a 30 minute show. ESPN2 doesnt even have anything listed for Sunday from 3-5PM .. give us that two hour block.

Re: ESPN2 to televise Maple Grove finals 8/26
This is great news! I think a half hour will be enough. Plus if the TV cameras return, Hot Rod won't be tempted leave.  |

That's true and a good idea. I'm just glad that we'll see something. |

They don't need trucks filled with equipment to operate a few handheld cameras and some tripods. Just like a news station, they can tape now and edit later.

Re: ESPN2 to televise Maple Grove finals 8/26
I did'nt notice ANYONE giving espn2 praise for turning a two hour rain shortened NHRA event sunday, into a 3 hour show... 
I understand that the NASCAR Michigan race was rained out, but those bone heads NEVER get tired of listening to themselves talk... and we got an extra hour for once in our lifetime... 30 minutes is enough time, as long as the commercials only run for 20...
