Cricket is best watched on a silent TV whilst listening to the radio commentary. My dad always did it that way.....you get a much better commentary on the radio....

Santa gets enough coverage at C*******s VinceWinkLaughing ha ha but seriously, it would not a lot of resources to cover drag racing on tv and with the races being short and sweet would make for quite an actioned show

  It is but not been for many many years now. there was a satelite channel doing a drag racing series but that was a few years back and it was never the same as being there. You have to hear, see, and feel for real to get the most out of it.

So 77 years since Fred Perry (a Brit won it for us eh?) I reckon it'll soon be 78 years!

Not a sport that I particularly follow but i think you gotta give the guy a chance. After all he is the 'best' we have had for as long as I can remember. When things go wrong for him he gives the impression he is annoyed, and does not just shrug it off as all the others seem to have do.

One thing you have missed there Vince......like all other motorsports you can 'smell' it too........ hot oil, burning rubber, exhaust fumes...... all add to the day's excitement
