I havent liked it since it went to speed channel. Its all nascar, all the time. they dont show any old racing movies anymore, or legends of motorsport. And I have to wake up early on a saturday to watch sports car revolution. Crappy. Ill get off my soap box now.
They've screwed me on the replays of F1.
I have got to get TiVo.
Yeah f1 repeat on Sunday night is gone so they can have 6 hours of Windtunnel. Then they started showing nascar nation every single day. F1 is on Friday night replay now. Nothing other than Nascar. Yesterday, NBS 24-7 ad was one, and they showed some crappy busch driver getting his hair cut. REALLY WHO FREAKIN CARES!! I watch Discovery and History much more now.
Texas Hardtails is another one of the new shows on speed, just from the comercials I have no desire to watch it. Here is how they descibe the show on SpeedTV.com
How about some new "Victory By Design" shows those rocked! :cheers:Quote:
A half-hour motorcycle-themed reality show spoof, more comedic than confrontational. Merging disparate elements from shows such as American Chopper and Curb Your Enthusiasm, the series is essentially an unscripted sitcom featuring real people playing themselves in real environments under fictional circumstances. At its center is nationally renowned custom bike builder Rick Fairless and his crew of family and friends at Strokers Dallas - a real-life bike shop and beer joint unlike any other. This ain't your daddy's motorcycle show.
I always wanted that guy's job!!!Quote:

I rarely watch Speed anymore, I'm tired of seeing Nascar and MotoGP all the time.. I had almost forgotten that they used to show movies on it. Now the main show I watch is Top Gear on Discovery. Speaking of which, it comes on in 4 hours and 10 minutes :thumrigh:
I really like NASCAR & keeping up with it, to a point ... but all the coverage & shows on SPEED is a bit of overkill. I do not watch 95% of the NASCAR shows on SPEED and I really wish they still had the variety from before the changeover. :-?
I just wish they still showed some older racing movies. Lemans and Grand Prix are two of my favorites.
Apparently a nation full of rednecks does (with apologies to Checker). :roll:Quote:

I watch OLN (which covered the Dakar this year) and Discovery a lot more than Speed. I'll still fip by Speed when I turn the TV on to see if they've got anything but NASCAR on, but 99.9% of the time they don't.
I'm in the same boat, but as time goes on I find myself loosing interest in NASCAR......Quote:
