I'm not surprised by the coverage......... It's typical net work TV coverage. I wished the whole show was about the race, instead of a 10 minute highlight show. But, it's coverage none the less.
Even the CBS coverage of the San Francisco SX wasn't the greatest. They're just trying to cram too much stuff into a one hour show, heck, you don't even get to see both heat races, or the semi. Just one full heat race, a 1 minute highlight of the second heat, and even less of the LCQ, and this is with the shortened format of just the two heats and the LCQ. I had to crack up when Ralph Shaheen (sp?) mistook Chad Reed pulling his roll off string, for some kind of last lap victory salute. But, the real news is the 30 second board girl, I don't know how she does it, week in and week out, got to be the hardest working person in SX. I think they should do one of those profiles on her to check out her training regimen to see how she does it.......
