And see the Junior Dragster segment? I just wanted to see if you saw the same thing I did where they were astonished at the program and basically saying it was so dangerous for children.

I didn't see the segement; but are you suggesting that something from Fox News was not "fair and balanced" - boy I could never imagine that ;-)

Watch Fox & Friends for entertainment and humor (not that they try to be funny) purposes only. They are all looking to sensationalize something -- anything. Morons.

Bobby,
I sent a long Email to the two culprits about Jr Dragsters, and hopefully they will look into this further. I realize news people are just talking heads, and don't really care other than to make some news titelating, but I hate it when anyone bad mouths our sport and doesn't know squat about it!

Bobby,
I was made aware of your coverage of Fox & Friends poor coverage of Jr. Dragsters from a thread on JrDrags.com, so came here to check it out.

I have already send Fox an e-mail expressing my displeasure of their coverage, and gave them some facts about the JR's. We raced one for 6 years, and I would highly recommend the program to any family.

Our sport (Drag Racing) does not need any negative publicity, and in my opinion, Fox's coverage of the JR's is as irresponsible as when the news calls street racers "drag racers".

Keep up the good work!

Hey guys maybe your letters helped! I am a regular Fox viewer. I don't like the "fake news" that the other channels give you. I did miss Fox and Friends Friday though and I can tell it sounds like they were totally off base.

They did try to make ammends though. At the end of Hannity and Colmes they showed the Jrs again. Bob Beckle, who was setting in for Allen, gave a favorable impression and Sean Hannity talked about his drag racing experience and too gave a favorable impression. Hannity and Colmes is one of the top cable primetime shows and gets more than twice as many viewers than the morning show, thank God!

It's good to see so many people take time to set people straight on our sport. It does work!

Ummmm, sounds like fair and balanced. :-)

It is very important to set any media straight about drag racing. And do it in a respectful way.

Good job!
