    Default want real racing, no more nascar

    i used to watch speed alot, that was until nascar took over. now you turn on

    speed and some lame form of nascar shows up.

    i mean those great days of F1, Motogp, and WRC only come so often.

    i want to get european or australian tv, that way i can see

    Formula 3, Australian v8 supercars, DTM, super gt, super takiyu, and more.


    just no more carburated, pushrod fake-realwheel-driven domesto shits goin

    round and round in circles for 3 hours.


    anybody else wanna turn on speed and see a car turn right more often?

    Advertisers pay Speed to show ads to NASCAR viewers, so we can expect SPeed to continue to become a full-time NASCRAP channel. It sucks...

    The season ended last Sunday. Nascar is second only to football in viewership, so they are taken very seriously as a demographic.

    Agreed. Being from the North, we never understood the big deal about Nascar, and being down here now, I still don't get it.

    so now they're stocking them too

    they will never learn, i guess the only way i will come down on this issue if

    someone opens a short road coarse that doesn't cost like road atlantawhere

    $1000+ is what it takes to run your car for a weekend to . i mean like a

    button willow only not as long and where it would cost like $200-$300 to run

    road course style. That would let me forget about nascar.

    Nascar is a joke. I'm amazed that people can actually sit and watch what is basically, advertising billboards go round a circle track for 500 laps at 200 miles an hour. Nascar is basically a "reality television" for it's redneck fan base.

    I used to love watching the SCCA, WRC, and all that other good stuff back when they used to play it. Didn't they cancel "Top Gear" too? or was it renamed 5th Gear when they brought it over here... that was a great TV show.

    one thing I miss watching was American Muscle Car - I mean hell, I liked watching history behind certain cars, then watch the rip up a dragstrip etc

    I wonder if SPEED will show the Dakar Rally this year ( I hope so - that stuff is thie SHITS - omg - watching big ass russian trucks flying over hills and plwoing through stuff kicks ass )
