ESPN Qualifying Times
Schedule
March 16
1:00 a.m.-3:00 a.m.
Qualifying
If you want to know why the ratings are so low there's your problem right there. very few people will stay up all night to watch anything that late. What does that tell the sponsors?

Re: ESPN Qualifying Times
Well we knew this a couple months ago. I think there's a reasonable argument that more people want to see live tournament games than tape delayed NHRA qualifying.
To be fair (and balanced) ESPN2 will be carrying the race 3 hours 6 thru 9 (EDT) Sunday.
and, yes, God bless TIVO!

No problem here! Just finished watching Sebring 12 Hours. Time for steak dinner then F1 starts on Speed at 8:30. You can bet College BB will run over - so there won't be much channel switching. In bed by midnight and up at 8:00 for NHRA audiocast - 
You people live in the wrong place for viewing drag racing - sorry, just couldn't resist -

Karl, Cheryl, I'll be burning the midnight oil also. I'm usually up late most everynight anyway, so I'll be tuning in regardless !

As would MOST of ESPN's viewership hence all the coverage ... only us weirdos like drag racing.
It will be on in less than an hour ... I am also watching F1 ... every team has the same ECU this year and the kick in the beanbag is that it was developed by Microsoft. Every car has a LCD screen in the steering wheel ... wonder who will be the first one who gets a blue screen?
Forza Kimi! Forza Felipe!

Re: ESPN Qualifying Times
One problem... March Madness hasn't started yet. I still don't think that sends out a very good message but I guess that's just me.

Re: ESPN Qualifying Times
Enjoyed the end of the CalState Fullerton/ UC Irvine game.
Drifted in and out mid show, caught all of Nitro.
