Had a driver tell me they were going to air Saturdays A-main and high-lights from Saturdays B and C as well as other small blurbs from earlier in the week. I believe he was told that from someone with Speed network.

OK... first of all just be happy it's on at all. If you people get pissed off that its a month late or whatever... next year buy a ticket and go. If it gets boycotted and the ratings are low... it may never be on air again. It's mind boggling to see people complain that there is never any midget or sprint races on TV but then complain when there is. Make sense?? THINK PEOPLE THINK!

Saturday Feb 14th at 8pm eastern on SPEED. Highlights from each of the qualifying nights including the Race of Champions with both C Mains... B Mains... and the A Main shown in its entirety. Plus we had some drivers up on the stage for interviews as well.

Hope you enjoy!

The Rumor I heard was that HBO did NOT give Emmitt a count on how many people order the Pay Per View. He felt like he got raked over. :angry-smiley-007:

Well said Klepper,I would rather watch it on Speed and save my money for summer,rather than dumping the big bucks to see it at Tulsa. JMO

I'm really curious to know how he got "raked over"?

The PPV company PAID HIM for the rights.

He still sold out four out of five nights.

He still had 270 cars at the event.

He still had an ungodly amount of people in the pits.

I wish I could get raked over like that once a year.

While awaiting my buddy Don Moore to weigh in here, I'm with Klepper on this one.
Hell I was there Wednesday thru Saturday, but I'm still gonna watch it on TV.
What other Midget/Sprint races are gonna be on Saturday night?

i think it's better for speed to delay the broadcast. they will get more viewers. people who attended the bowl cant watch it live.

I would think Bricker's on the north side of town will have it on. Call up there and ask them. We are trying to work something out at the Legion Post where the Vogler party is but they have karaoke(sp?) on that sat. night so that might not work.
