Second race of the @NHRA countdown and I’m just thankful for @Jason_Galvin the man truly knows what he’s talking about and what we fans want to hear.

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.

The professionalism on the mics in our sport is rather mind blowing

@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
English
This is my assumption too.
Daniel Richtman@DanielRPK
I think they announced the main players. Rest will be cameos (those unannounced)

“Please tell me if you’re a child in a public forum so I can pretend to be nicer than I actually am” is such a crazy way to expose your stupidity

Date of Birth now required on all tweets sent to me. Still a lot of folks out there trolling away. 😂😂 Have a great hump day. 🐫

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
Brett Griffin@SpotterBrett
If you’re having to ask it’s probably not the job for you.

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.

Does anyone else feel at home listening to Mike Dunn on the mic for the @PROPromotions_ #SuperStarShootout?? It’s like being a kid again 🤣

Nuts to me these guys haven’t implemented a funny car style hatch on the roof.

Brian Shirley's car turns into a fireball as he was leading during Heat 3. He evacuated the car and is ok.

@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
English
@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
English
@HankSilver3 Few things
1 NHRA has a Pro Mod class and the drivers have openly said they don't want more races many think they have too many now
2 Even at the races where there is Pro mod people still will leave the stands no matter if it's Pro stock or Pro mod
English
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…
Noah@MightyMack03
Your weekly reminder to stop the mass exodus. Support the pro stock and the bikes. #NHRA #Route66Nats

@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 😂

@HankSilver3 They are going to 3 RDs of qualifying in one day at Virginia though lol
English
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.
Drag Racing Mayhem@Dragracemayhem
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 #NHRA

Imagine being this delusional. You get to do the most fun job on the property any given night and because someone (who likely would give anything to switch places) wants to give you camera time, you’re mad? I will never understand the lack of self awareness
Danny Dietrich@dannydietrich
What I just learned... if I see a @dirtvision camera during a @WorldofOutlaws open red.. I'm yelling things that will make the camera leave quickly. F. That. Gtfo.

@Jacy_Norgaard I won’t forget asking for an interview during an Eldora rain delay and getting told “Go buy me a hot dog and I’ll do your interview”
Hurts when you’re making just enough to pay rent to spend Feb-Nov on the road trying to make these guys look good. But no, they got it hard!

@HankSilver3 If you want to participate in the big leagues you have to be okay with everything that comes with it. Yeah maybe it’s not ideal that a camera is in your face. But that story telling helps cover your check at the end of the night.
