I've been watching some ASCS races on the Versus Channel. But for Barrett I don't mind watching it live or a replay in Feb

I agree with just about everything said so far,and here's something to keep in mind.Speed is owned by Newscorp (AKA Fox). If you are at all familiar with the level of programming on any of their other outlets,the mediocrity of what's available on Speed comes as no surprise. I do enjoy the motorsport coverage that's on VERSUS,with the Indy Cars,anchored by the legendary Bob Jenkins,coverage of the NASCAR Modifieds (I know,but it's what I grew up with!)and selected other events like the Short Track Nat's. For me,the best part of having cable TV,is that after going through 230 channels,you can turn to the other person in the room and say,"

After reading a couple if interviews conducted w/ Speed's head honcho, I realize they are never going to embrace open wheel short track racing as an option for regular programming. During the interviews, the genteman could only give excuses as to why it couldn't be done. That's why now, with all the specialization in programming, would be a great time for a Short Track channel.

How many "pinks" show can you watch?
And how many over-priced classic cars at auctions are there? |

They are actually running some country music awards right now on prime time Friday night. Amazing. Be interesting to find out what they think their demographics are.

I used to really look forward to the Barret-Jackson auctions, but they've run it into the ground. The Mecum auctions on HD Theater channel are much more entertaining and the average person can relate to them more so than the B-J auctions.

When I turn on my TV I check Speed hoping something good is on, then go to VS. Then I'll go to the guide to see whats on. Did that tonight & some country awards show is on. If you have FB page put on it what you believe Speed Channel is like I did. Maybe some schmuck from the organization will see it & do something. So sick of auctions, dangerous drives ooooh, & intersections?? Whats that all about, get back to real Speed shows. Bowling & fishing shows are more fun to watch than this crap.

to get speed channel you have to buy the upgrade. Thats why i had the upgrade for years but last month i said enough and cancelled the Dish up grade as a protest and let them know it. If everyone said the heck with it threw the cable providers then maybe they would get the message. Only thing i miss is Wind Tunnel but you can get that on the net.
