Is that globally everyone?
Good thing you are really cute because this response could have been far more in depth.

 

[Kelly]

[Jenn]

She could have said "Y'all the racin's on TV if y'onto watchit"

 

[Rob]

I knew what you meant, Kelly. Don't let those less than cultured folks mess with you. Ya'll just don't understand. Like riding a Harley, If I have to explain it, you won't understand. Grits too.

LOL...

I agree Joe, that's pretty cool! I'm watching my DVR recording of it right now and they're definitely not wasting any time on "fluff" pieces.

do they show any interviews? With Hillary being a first time finalist I was curious with what she had to say

Yes Hillary did get an interview, most of the winners did. But as soon as the interview's were over, the next pair was already staging.

Hillary was interviewed after her semi's win. She gave the team credit and said she wished Ken Black was there.....first race he's missed all year. She seemed pretty calm, cool and collected to me.

I watched it this morning while I was getting ready.....wish I could do that when it's on late Sunday nights, but I can't ever wait. Last night was the exception. I was dog tired at midnight.

I forgot to compensate (bloody TiVo should do it for me) for the 1 hour east/central difference and only got the 4 finals, seeing as all of my fav's won I didn't mind much!!

You are absolutely right Joe, that was great!! Nothing but racing.
They did the interviews & then got right back to the next pair.

I went to work last night and 9 pm, so I just watched the tape & I might watch it again today it was so good.

THAT is how they all should be in my opinion.
BAM! Home run!

The one hour show was plenty. They actually showed just racing and a few winners interviews not all other baloney which just adds time and no value.

A 1 1/2 or two hour show would be plenty when including first round coverage. Since the ratings are in the tank it should be obvious that including all the fluff doesn't draw additional racing fans and in fact turns off a few (like me). This was the first race I taped which I could watch without having to use the VCR time skip function to eliminate the mindless filler material the shows usually include.

Something NHRA & ESPN should consider. They can give us all the fluff during NHRA2day or something like that.

Everybody send emails...
we can atleast imagine that they'd listen to us, right?

I agree, last night's show was Great! Non-stop action, every time they broke from a driver interview they had the next pair staging! I Tape all the 3 hr. programs anymore, the Commercial breaks kick my ass!
