David K Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Oh come on! In case you haven't heard - Speed . . . . I mean NascarTV has changed the WRC coverage from same day to delayed by ~1 week and from 3 hours of racing coverage to 2. For what it's worth, someone has started a petition to ask SpeedTV to go back to last years format..... http://www.petitiononline.com/zb7q8023/petition.html Please check this out because i know that i do not want to see just NASCAR My signature is on this page http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?zb7q8023&1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slvrhase Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I'm on there!! Made me so mad when they changed hands and went to most all NASCAR coverage. Don't get me wrong NASCAR is OK, as long as they are on a road course! I used to be able to count on Speedvision for something to watch, now I'm cancelling my satellite because of them!

Mikelly Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 The guys over on the Bike web sites are bitching and moaning about this too... Bottom line is it boils down to economics. I'm just happy that we have Tuesdays for ANY motorcycle racing coverage. I also found that they (Speed) show a lot more than you think. You just have to really pay attention to the weekly listings... I see a lot of TOURING CAR series stuff, which I'm into BIG TIME! They also show the Valvoline runoffs several time AFTER the event, which I appreciate since I haven't gone in years... Just looking at it from the other side of the fence guys... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 i still signed the petition...there is too much nascar on the speed channel... leave nascar for espn. how much fun is it to sit around all day saying, "oooooh wow, look how fast that car turned left again...." oval racing, and even most road racing nascar events are about as boring as racing gets for me.. I miss turning to the speed channel and seeing off-road racing 50% of the time, and good road racing the rest. just my opionon though, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Speed channel sucks!! They sold out to Nascar! Don't get me wrong Nascar's ok but how about some variety please for the love of God!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inZane 240 Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I may be mistaken, but I think they sold out to FOX who sold out to NASCAR because it seemed profitable at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
