What ever happened to Drag racing?? Does the NHRA have some deal with another network??? All I get above the 49th is Speed and the other major brands.. I don't get Fox Sports...
I haven't seen an NHRA event on TV for over 3 years.. what gives???

ESPN & ESPN2 show it once in awhile. 
THAT's my kinda racin'
No watching the same guys go 'round & 'round for hours only to crash the leaders out in in the final turn.
The race is over in less than 5 seconds, then two more guys give it a try. 
I'll be watching for the Bonneville diesel scoot too.

well someone better get with the program, other dirt bikes (two and 4 stroker gas) are in the 50+ HP range, i think we need some mega injectors and a turbo or two!

Sounds like that would be a little heavy.
Man when I was little and started ridin I always said I wanted to go to the Army and ride motorcycles but dang that bike doesn't look like it could handle a 50 foot double, hart attack look back.
That or I would try to race Osma's camel.
