I still go back and watch the earlier races I have on VCR tapes. Remember Diamond P on TNN? Those were the GOOD times when the coverage was about racing.

Amen!!! Steve Evans, McClellan and Bob Frey!!! That was the golden age of television coverage!!!!

I agree, it was too difficult to watch. They tried to explain the staging thing, but they failed to properly explain the blue light (was it pre-stage or staged when the blue came on?)

My thoughts exactly! Must have sounded great in person. That being said, I have serious reservations about safety with four cars on the track at the same time. Recipe for disaster. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I hope I'm wrong.

I was there all day Saturday. The sound and feel of 32,000 horsepower going down the track at one time was something to experience. I know most of the drivers didn't like it but the fans did.
