your right I should be happy, but with all the stupid shows on tv not worth watching, this should be a 7 week series starting on Monday with hot laps and lots of driver interviews

I am quite interested in how they produced this coverage. Did they go for the human interest side, and spend a lot of time on the Donnie Ray Crawford backstory? Did they try to educate the first time viewer of midget racing regarding what a midget racecar even is? While those of us on this board might wish to see more coverage of the prelims, that might just confuse the first time viewer. It's probably best to just show the A-Main.

I am amazed about the attitudes of some people about dirt track racing on TV. IF dirt track racing was profitable to put on TV, all of the channels would be doing it. TV is all about making money. For all of the stupid shows that are on TV, they are profitable to put on TV. They are either cheap to produce or have a large audience or probably both. Unfortunately, this is not the case for dirt track racing.
It will be interesting to watch the broadcast on Saturday. Did CBS sell a lot of adds to a lot of different people, or did Lucas Oil (or something similiar) purchase the entire hour. |

I'm not seeing it on my program guide in Cincy. Still looking, any help from Cincy viewers?

Would anyone be kind enough to record the show onto DVD for a couple of UK Race fans. Please.

Local CBS station is featuring a 24-hour hospital telethon. Wonderful.
