Ditto- For years, I have BEGGED for information on these trucks.Why? To EDUCATE the announcers.
Anyone who is serious about attracting sponsors, should have two portfolios. One set up like a resume with pictures and full details, then a 1 pager, with an identifying picture of the truck, and who what when and where.
We dont need secrets, like pump timing, ccs of fuel, turbo cfm, but we need more info than "ANOTHER DODGE WITH A CUMMINS AND BLACK SMOKE, DYUH!
NADM members are given many marketing opportunities at events and behind the scenes. No other Diesel truck organization came close.
However, it is up to the competitor to take advantage of those opportunities.
Yes we would all like to see more trucks and an hour show 5 times a week, all it takes is money.
Yes Erik Stacey had difficulties, and had too many attempts, but at least we got him on the show!! And guys as much as I would like to give extra attempts, you can't change rules on the fly. (Erik did not ask for special treatment.)
Clint Newman, sorry, buddy great hook, but as it was a Diesel show with limited time, the gasser gets cut first. There were a LOT of trucks that were cut from the first show.
Hopefully someday we have enough pull to have more say over the editing.
