i agree with this. With more coverage it would help us get sponsorship help. Where dragracing is getting more and more expensive every year.

To be honest I don't watch the professional broadcast on ESPN and will fast-forward through the alcohol cars on the LODRS show just to see the Stock, SS, Comp, SC, SG, and other sportsman class finals. I also enjoy the sportsmen spotlights and visits to small tracks around the country. On a personal level I became a drag racing fan and racer because I saw a station wagon win a bracket race. Not John Force or Tony Schumacher.

As a mad keen sportsman racer I try to watch the NHRA Lucas sportsman series every time it's on just to see all the stock classes etc, only to be disappointed everytime with just the finals given air time, to be able to see more of all these classes would definetely keep me watching, c'mon give these classes more air time

I would love to see sportsman racing. It would make for a much show than watching some of the "filler" articles they use now.

I am not new to the sport. I have been to many national and divisional events for the past 35 years as a crew member and a spectator and now as a driver. I can say the more coverage we have as a sport the better off the sport will be. I understand its not as exciting as 330 mph fire breathing nitro cars. But the level of competition in the sportsman classes is second to none. There are thousands of great people and amazing cars, and the closest racing imaginable every single weekend in the sportsman classes, that never get seen by the average fan of the sport. This could take our great sport to a whole new level.

I think it's a great idea & it would definitely get the ratings if they listen to the fans & what they wanna see & not what they thonk they wanna see

Comp, super stock and stock eliminator is the closest most exciting thing they offer! Wheel stands and no throttle stops, that's cool.
