Wild hot takes from Shirley Muldowny today @GoRaceMIR@NHRA today 😂 Give up on your dreams, crew chiefs are overpaid, and fuck em all pretty much. Even with the parts I disagree with it’s refreshing to hear someone actually just saying how they feel
Gotta be honest, the TV show is one thing, but if you’re watching on their .tv stream it’s a lot more jarring. Between the on-air talent and the actual cut of the show, paying $175/year directly to them feels like I’m being robbed.
@DeeJayTnyce Definitely, which I like this starting lineup. It puts the legacy MCU down a peg but that’s needed to set up the X-Men and F4 to really shine properly for once
Watching @NHRA if I could pay double for an @AlTucci5 call of the other 4 pro classes every race I would. He brings the excitement from the track and then allows room for your standard info guy
Al Tucci and Brian Lohnes together would be BEeeaauutiul just like a Smokey burnout.
These kind of people exist everywhere in motorsport. Then folks have the audacity to ask why it’s so hard to find new talent.
There’s kids out there hanging on to a last thread of hope asking questions like this. And if given the chance they’d outwork you and appreciate it more
It just feels right. Something about the way this man can jaw about the sport sells it to me so much more. @PROPromotions_#SuperStarShootout is so good on @FloRacing . Really shows how much a broadcast can live or die on the commentary, and boy it's alive right now.
@DeeJayTnyce X-men 97 was great, but now Beau DeMayo is out. Deadpool and Wolverine giving them the best platform to reset and rebuild yet they’re about to hit us in the mouth with garbage for 5 years.
When James Gunn gets the DCU poppin’ this is gonna be an all time crash out for Marvel
@Dragracemayhem Yeah, but if it was treated and scheduled in place of pro stock that may not be the case. As long as it’s announced and scheduled as a support class it’ll be treated no better than sportsman
Hot take: The fans paid to spend their time there. If they exodus during certain things, it means it’s time to work to give them a reason not to.
And “The racing’s good” doesn’t count. The sport is ultimately built more around spectacle and stories than competition.
I think…
@Dragracemayhem Yeah… on Saturday like my previous tweet. Good idea, awful execution. Especially since VMP as long as I’ve been alive has only ever gone rain free for an ADRL event 😂
Trying something new (without the expensive gimmick) would be going to a 3 qualifying rounds on Friday and racing on Saturday format. With both days concluding with rounds at night. Then we truly see the fastest runs at the climax of each day.
Fans - "NHRA doesn't try anything new It's same old same old
NHRA - "Adds 2 4 wide races a year"
Fans - "I hate dis 4 wide not real racin blah blah blah"
Seriously, some people need to make up their minds be happy the sport was willing to do something different
