Exclamation Tv Excitement Factor

AGAIN, AS PER CANDY:

What is your vote on excitement factor to keep you glued to your seat to watch an offshore boat race on TV?

If you're not going to show all of the classes, then are the classes that will NOT be on TV still have to pay for the coverage as part of their entrance fee?

Show 'em all, everyone has their favorites.

I dont think your entry fee means you are going to get air time on TV. TV time should be based on what people want to see. Thats what gets them better ratings and more advertisers to pay for the TV time.
In my opinion Freeze Frame does the best job of showing most of the boats at the races and is a great tape for your sponsor.Make sure you tell him before the race you are going to buy his tapes and he will shoot you. If your not in his tapes you probualy dont buy his tapes and he has a limited amount of time in the air to make his living.
If you want TV time for your sponsor tell him you need more money to get in a pro series class that has air time.
Not trying to piss anyone off but it looks like the fans and racers only want to see 2 classes in 1 hour.I hope APBA and speed channel are reading this.

listen, the one hour two class coverage is the best, just tape the lesser classes and play them on an off week, with the same one hour two class format...nothing worse than seeing 5 minutes of a race you know is much longer.. iwish they would go to a full race format for the winter months.. this way you would get a full race every weekend and keep the reruns to a minimum and keep that over talkitive little chic off my tube BBR out
