think if we put together a collection we could buy out SPEED from fox and therefore save it by banning all NASCAR? we would need to talk to the FIA to get the SPEED cameras in there instead of relaying the iTV feeds that seem to black out 3 times a race.
Maybe we could bombard their servers with pissed off emails and all call into dave despain's radio show.
has anyone else noticed that they left off the F1 and F3000 drivers when they did their driver of the year contest?
I won't get cable until SPEED changes their damn coverage. i'm not paying extra money every month just to get Cartoon Network

Yeah, they are seriously lacking some good shows. I watch it for American Muscle Car, thats a great show. But they seem to have run out of muscle cars. lol They had a hot-rod show on there too that was good, Is hot rod TV on spike or speed? anyway. Spike's powerblock is where its at. Too bad i dont get that channel. lol

guys.... i hate speedtv also
but u cant complaint about the nascar content
why? because.. their commercial claims that they are
"home of the nascar"
so basically is a freaking nascar channel
btw.. how many leauges are in nascar. i see so many different cars, and truck.. but they are all nascar but in different leasgue of nascar or someshit like that
seeing car running around in circle is so fun

Spike had some mildly interesting stuff, but not all that quality when i think about it. Dling low rez top gear and 5th gear still trump both imo.

I agree that Speedvision was much better a couple of years ago. For many of us in the USA, it's the only channel dedicated to motorsports, so to says it sucks and just bash it for showing what's profitable (NASCAR) isn't right. Without what is now SpeedTV we many of us would not being able to watch anything.
There's still plenty of reasons to watch SpeedTV, WRC, F1, occasional special programs such as behind F1 and Porsche series. Although it has been better and I wish they didn't show nearly as much NASCAR as they do, I'm glad to have it.

Well Speed is the only "hardcore" car channel offered in the US so we are stuck no matter how bad it really is

Yeah, I wish we got something better than the 24 hour nascar channel. Even when they do cover something thats not mind numbingly boring, like on the power block, the shows still seem to me like they are talking to children. They are made to appeal to the stupid average american.
I mean really, if you look at how much more entertaining shows from england and japan are, its not hard to figure out that american car shows assume that no one understand anything about cars to begin with, so they never risk getting to technical or interesting because of it.
Maybe Im just ranting but speed channel really sucks :fist:
