ok when speedvision first came out i was so happy. finally, great rally, great gt/gts LeMans, top notch F1, all the greats, nice motorvision car reviews and stuff. but all things come to an end.

FOR SOME STUPID REASON FOX BOUGHT IT AND CHANGED IT TO THE SPEED CHAN. now, at first i was all ok with that, they put in some nascar and i thought no problem, just a little tarnish to the image.

BUT ITS ALL NASCAR NOW.
ALL
ALL THE TIME
NASCAR
N-A-S-C-A-R

AMERICAN CRAPPY *** LEFT ONLY NASCAR.

im going insane, i need my fix. they did not cover warmup's or qualifing of the Montreal GP, instead they had reviews / re-runs of 82 WINSTON CUP. FREKING 1982, OH MY GOD.

PLEASE MAKE THE PAIN STOP. HELP ME.

i had to watch RDS for the F1 coverage (not so bad, cause i understand french, but i miss some of the commentary cause im not 100%)

does ANYONE have an answer as to where or how i can get speedvision like coverage?

IT REALLY HURTS.

NASCAR?? WTF ahhhhhhhhhhh

Geez, do you guys even WATCH Speed Channel? Yes, their is a substantial increase in NASCAR programing and yes, it is on for the majority of the day. But I guess you havn't noticed the increase of covergage for other series.

Quote:

This racing season Speed Channel will cover CART, 13 live races plus all practice and qualifying sessions; the World Rally Championship, all 16 events with almost five times the coverage than before; every Formula One practice and qualifying session plus 13 F1 races, and several live-coverage broadcasts of Grand Am, American Le Mans and World Challenge events. The SCCA ProRally series will be covered in its entirety.

This is all clearly detailed in Josh Jacquot's "Slip Angle" editorial column in SCC.

Oh I get it. You guys are upset that Speed Channel got rid of those boating and airplane shows inorder to make way for NASCAR, as well as F1, CART, WRC. Ya, you guys should write a letter to complain.
