Fox spent a lot of time on the chipmunk cheeked pro stock girl, too many years of her attitude. NHRA is working on a an image problem. It showed in the first race. Easy to pick apart, but not bad. My biggest issue was lack of showing who the winner of each round was. With the popularity of Street Outlaws, they even tried taking shots at them. While I do not agree with street racing, I REALLY have a lot of respect for what they do with there cars. I am immersed in there show and the podcasts are funny and give them an outlet to let there fans know about the real people on the show. Not how they are portrayed. There is a place for all of this. Conversations I have had with my older racer friends are interesting to say the least. They are not happy with NHRAs direction. Check out Class Racer forum for insight. And NASCR is getting in on the action, more competition. You cant make everyone happy. It will take time but I can see it getting better. Yes I loved Mike Dunn as a commentator also. But he is gone, the only constant is change.
