Did anyone catch the racing?

I watched it last night, i see they have gone for an updated intro and Ashley Force seems to be racing a funny car?! I know she is a big development in the sport but come on, a lot of the other guys with deals like Dixon got left out in the cold...

Other than that, good coverage!

I think more of a problem than missing out on the new Prudhomme sponsor was the lack of any second round footage in the nitro classes.

We actually got to see...
No round 1 in prostock: fine by me - cut round one and keep the continuity from the start of round 2 onwards.

Round 1 TF - 6 of the 8 pairs

Roung 1 FC - 5 of the 8 pairs and showing both Tony Pedregon and Ron Capps arriving in their pit for the turnaround after their runs which weren't shown.

Round 1 PS - 4 of the 8 pairs with a bad edit straight into...

Round 2 PS

Round 2 of both Nitro classes missing although it was referred to in the show, so I'm sure this was Sunset and Vines edit and not ESPN's. Also missing was the promised footage of Hillary Wills accident in testing. But obviously of more concern is that it seems that the Sunset and Vine knife seems to have little concern for the drag race as a story and just treats each event like a number of totally disconnected runs. How long before they actually chop out the final rounds because it was easier to find an edit point?

You guys are just asking for someone to come on hear and advertise the Orbit system. Mind you I would rather attend meetings in the UK and Europe than spend my money on that - but then I do not live in Gateshead either...
