Default Re: NHRA coverage

Agreed, ESPN's scripted programming of all the back stories sucks. I'd rather have greater emphasis on a tech feature than an interview with Force's daughter but the producers seem to know what is best for us. As far as getting booted from the time slot for the World Series of Tidllywinks there isn't much that can be done. There is strength in numbers and NHRA fans are leaving in droves; in 2008 they averaged 600,000 households watching, today the numbers are around 250,000. Not good for sales of ad time and naturally, like any business ESPN follows the $$$.
