Just turn it on NOW. Come on?!?!? Figure 8 racing. Seriously, across the globe right now there are some seriously competitive amateur racing going on that will be just as entertaining.

Amateur Racing FTW. No offense to rednecks and figure 8 racing, it looks like fun. But lets see some series speed from some serious privateers!

I mean, same thing with ESPN in the afternoon, sometimes they have some wacky racing going on.

lol why do you say they are scared?

i just hate watching so much nascar ****.

sherwood · 08-18-2007, 07:04 PM

its not that they are "scared" its that it takes alot of money to make an import as fast as it takes a little money to make a domestic fast...people dont want to loose 20K cars...they want to be on tv and race a mustang they dumped 5K into and is running 10's..its not cuz they are scared..its cuz it costs alot of money to make an import into the 10's

t3turbogs · 08-18-2007, 07:55 PM

yea i rather see that then nascar. thats all speed is, but its good to put on for naps!

Cardriverx · 08-18-2007, 11:18 PM

SteevoZ · 08-18-2007, 11:28 PM

Unique Whips is the only good show on that channel

cburwell · 08-18-2007, 11:30 PM

Over the past year or two Speed Channel has gotten better with their programming. There was a time that you were almost guaranteed to get some sort of NASCAR programming if you turned it on at any given time. I have noticed more road racing events (Mazda series, etc).

Actually Remy Does some nice work, The owner is just a ****y arrogant guy from NY who thinks b/c he was poor when he was little can call the shots and bring in all these high dollar people when he doesn't do a damn thing but bark orders and act like an asshole...I'd kill to be him though, He's loaded and gets some big names in his shop...so he must be doing something right eh? The cars they do for the most part are very clean and subtle, But theres not much "Unique" about them...To say they do Hack jobs is an ignorant statement. I dont see you working on Lambo's or Ferrari's making a living out of it do I??

Every post I see out of you is you trying to hard to sound smart...stop shooting your mouth off and think before you type.

You want a hack job watch pimp my ride.

If I remember correctly, SPEED didn't renew its contract with WRC. Prolly has alot to do with NASCAR basicly owning the SPEED channel.

No more WRC on speed. I think you can catch it on OLN every once in a while.

ozthunder · 08-19-2007, 02:30 PM

Yea..the NASCAR oppression of other forms of racing suxors. Pinks was cool for a bit, now I just watch to see people fight. Sorta likeJerry Springer, just with fox bodies.

the4g63 · 08-19-2007, 02:33 PM

****'s lame.

z'd up · 08-19-2007, 07:25 PM
