With what we're having in the teens in the Carolinas, who'd love to soak up the sun in 80 and 90 degree weather and race?Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366544608847776006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-92064316627771079272010-01-09T10:13:21.277-05:002010-01-09T10:13:21.277-05:00Thanks Andrew, just got done reading about the Sco...Thanks Andrew, just got done reading about the Scott Darley Classic in Sydney. Three American drivers were there, including Smoke. They finished 1st, 2nd, and 19th out of a 24 car field. Would of never know that with the lack of racing shows on tv without the internet. It was an open wheel race on dirt a lot like Tony's track. <br /><br />As far as TWIN is concerned for the folks who like it. Speedtv.com still lists it in the lineup of programs. However, no time slot is advertised as of yet.JohnPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78770461933323789912010-01-08T21:40:20.231-05:002010-01-08T21:40:20.231-05:00Hope either SPEED or ESPN will do something new. ...Hope either SPEED or ESPN will do something new. A organization by organization preview for 2010.

I'm a big fan of seeing the old races and try and watch them on Classic whenever possible. Heck, I enjoyed watching Jr's "back in the day" program. <br /><br />I'll admit that I lean on the internet as my source a lot more than I did, mostly because I don't have to wait for it to come on TV, but if I have a chance to sit down and watch for a bit, it would have been nice to see some NASCAR coverage.<br /><br />Happily the snow forecast was correct by the local news - we only got an inch or so!

There's always driver/cc changes things like that they could report on. I think if the tv broadcasts went to 3d would be really something. We would actually have to wait til one of our hd tv's bites the dust in order to replace it. But my biggest question, would there be a business for 3D prescription glasses??

Damn, I missed it.. <br /><br />Dot and Boyd are correct.. Speed Channel is about racing isn't it?? The show Wind Tunnel basically ignores Nascar coverage from Dave Dispain during the season anyway.. So why pull the show when the Nascar season is over.. That's the logic of an idiot..<br /><br />After ESPN's coverage of the Jimmy Johnson Chase in 2009 I don't care if they ever broadcast another show concering the Jimmy Johnson Cup.. They burnt me out during the Jimmy Johnson Chase in 2009.. Won't ever watch their channel again for any sporting show.. <br /><br />Speed Channel however, fans here are starving for updates, team mergers, tire runs/practices.. Driver changers in the cars..

There is always something going on in the racing world, maybe it needs to be cut to 30 minutes but there should be something. NN I'm on the fence about because it would just be a repeat of the Speed Report info and if I had to pick one although hearing from Marty Smith every week would be a good thing. Obviously there would not be enough info to do a daily show but... I've been asking for a few years now for a show that provides insite into what goes on at the shop during the "off season" it's not like they are sitting there doing nothing.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62794952628568867172010-01-07T20:32:32.031-05:002010-01-07T20:32:32.031-05:00I can sorta understand ESPN not having a December ...I can sorta understand ESPN not having a December NASCAR show, with the craziness that is bowl season, but for SPEED not to have at least a weekly show is not excusable. There's been several big stories mostly ignored by ESPN this offseason:<br />- The Yates-Petty merger being finalized<br />- Smoke racing in Australia<br />- Addington going to Kurt's team<br />- The format changes for the Bud Shootout<br />- The trouble at NASCAR Scene, NASCAR Illustrated, and SceneDaily.com<br />- Robby racing in the Dakar Rally<br />- Danica Patrick<br />- And finally today's news of possibly going back to the spoiler on the cars.<br /><br />Granted, this has all come out over several weeks, and wouldn't justify a daily show. But a weekly show would be perfect.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186787824034707727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3492004881672675012010-01-07T19:40:10.071-05:002010-01-07T19:40:10.071-05:00I'm wondering....will ESPN ever put a Nascar r...I'm wondering....will ESPN ever put a Nascar race on their 3D network? They mentioned college football, NBA and baseball, but no mention of Nascar. And, to be honest, when I heard that the network would be dark if there was no sporting event scheduled, I'm wondering how cost efficient a 3D network would be, considering that everyone needs to buy a new TV.Darcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68895633945300273392010-01-07T18:07:42.313-05:002010-01-07T18:07:42.313-05:00I agree with Boyd.

I think it was called RPM2Night? Nothing against SPEED and TSR because it is an excellent program but I work Sunday nights and cannot devote the time to trying to catch a single or double airing on a lone day of the week for motorsports news that has probably already broke across the internet.<br /><br />NFL Live runs year round, RPM used to as well.

Having a weekly, weekend show might be okay for some inside stories or having Wind Tunnel on to discuss hot topics among people in the sport. There's a hot debate going on within the dirt late model community concerning teams using chemicals to soften tires. The use of these are harmful to health and the environment. Series are banning its use ,but teams still use them. This would be a great topic to discusss on TV.MRM4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04045747192945960087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-38764870992626205422010-01-07T13:13:45.513-05:002010-01-07T13:13:45.513-05:00Let me just say the that "numbers idiot"...Let me just say the that "numbers idiot" is just that - an idiot!
