Is speed channel for real???
They are only showing the 250 and 125 GP from Indy? They've gotta be ******* kidding! They should be doing a whole freaking three day program on that ****!
Edit: Okay, I just read that NBC has the lock on the main event... Sorry Speed Channel! But I still think you suck Nascar Nuts!

i'm glad someone has a gripe with the speed channel. I run home during lunch just about everyday to either watch F1 or MotoGP. this makes me happy. When i get home at night, the only thing that seems to be on is "Unique Whips". What an awful abortion of a show that is....A bunch of brainless idiots buying stupid cars and dropping tons of money on chrome and DVD screens...WTF.
Its called the speed channel for a reason. show me gas powered things that go fast...i don't care if its a lawnmower, anything is better than the mindless dubs and bitches crap. I fear for future generations.

yup. I love the racing they have on during the daytime but once i get home from work its nothing but the lifestyle stuff. I don't mind 101 Cars You Must Drive or even the occasional episode of pinks but those are the only kind of shows on in the evening. A rebroadcast of racing they showed earlier in the day would be so much more enjoyable. I agree with Wrecked being a pretty decent show, but still...it's called the Speed Channel, not the Towtruck Network.
probably not an altogether bad thing that they dont show racing all the time...i would be a complete waste of life

i wish they'd replay the Motogp races during the week at least once in case you missed it on sunday. Is that really too much to ask?
i guess we gotta get one more rerun of Unique Whips in there...

i guess i'm lucky that i am close enough to work that i can zip home and catch an hour of racing...replay or not. They had one of the rain soaked races from england on yesterday or the day before...absolutely absurd. people were going down all over the place, rear ends kicking out around turns. Amazing stuff really. these guys were still hauling *** in the wet...really good racing though. need more. need more. gotta get my fix.
...Then again...who can resist watching a gaggle of idiots install TVs in the floors of escalades. word.

If you need that fix now, get over to the WSB website. they've got some great vids on there. also full replays of qualifying and the races. all for free too!

Um yeah I caught the replay of that race on Speed Channel: AT THREE OCLOCK IN THE MORNING! That was a bad-*** race that was extremely exciting, and they still choose to show b/s repeats of the weak programs mentioned above during prime-time... I am sick of their ****. I wish there was a channel that showed hill-climbing, dirt-track, flat-track, road racing, Isle-of-Man TT replays, moto GP replays, and all the other cool **** they should be showing, but alas...

Glad I'm not the only one. I miss the days of WRC on speed, insanity on four wheels. I like nascar, but 6 hours of pre-race is a little much. Best place I've found to get a real racing fix is racing-underground.com they have torrent downloads of about every kind of racing you can think of.

The program director at Speed is anti-motorcycle. Greg White was pissed on the last show of Two Wheel Tuesday. It is sad in my opinion. Speed sux now.

Seriously, when i was a wee-little lad, you could turn on speed channel anytime of day and see hill climbs, monster trucks, followed by score trucks and Gp, folloowed by WRC. I could watch for 8 days a week. It was glorious. Race after race, and my friends and family were starting to think I was a savant. Now, I can handle about an hour. That is the length of time I can wait until a race comes on, then its youtube for my addiction. That is bull. Wrecked????? that belongs with the mike rowe lineup, including dirtiest jobs, most dangerous whatever they have this week, and my science geek favorites on the discovery channel. I just want to see nonstop speed related stuff. No sail boats, not fast enough, ever, ever.

This is what we are missing here in the States...

I wish this was an English channel. Maybe I need to learn Italian.

is it me or does it seem like Speed has been sitting on their *** while channels like Versus are picking up more motorsports? correct me if i'm wrong but doesnt Vs have the TV rights to Baja? i think its safe to say Speed won't be watchable until some personel changes are made in the decision making department

Too many brain dead people who worship NASCAR, that's the problem with SPEED. The only reason I got SPEED 3 years ago was to watch mc roadraces.
All I know is I'm planning my weekend around MotoGP at noon Sunday on NBC. Unfortunately we'll probably have to listen to Kevin Schwanz, who is a great guy, but a boring color commentator.
