First of all I think it's great that the event got some coverage. But there was very little coverage of the actual racing, and unfortunatly not very good action. Only a couple of real races, (Jeff's being the best) the rest seemed liked one of the two broke or had a by round. That's racing however.
I'm sorry but unless you got a dog in the fight, diesel bracket racing isn't good TV. I don't know if it was the distance from the track but even the 9 sec runs in Prostreet didn't look very fast on TV. There were good plugs for NHRDA and the sponsors, but if I weren't already a diesel race fan, that show wouldn't have converted me.
One smokey diesel running another smokey diesel doesn't seem to get the casual drag racing fan too excited. What I have noticed and I think a lot of people would agree with, is when a fast diesel truck whips up on gasser cars the fans love it. Sort of rooting for the underdog. I don't know what it going to take to get more fans out to our events with the current state of the economy but if I were on the fence about attending a diesel drag race where I knew non of the racers, or had much of an interest in diesels, that show did nothing to convince me to come and watch.
That is an honest critique from my prospective, it was well done, better camera angles of the racers would have helped as would of some more coverage of the better races.
