a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

  Except for those markets that don't have speedchannel, this is the BEST
thing to happen to CART in a long time.  We get two days of LIVE
practices...we get a pre-race show on the Friday before an event, we  get a
pre-race show the morning of the event and ....the very best thing....  The
FREAKIN' two hour TV window is history...no more of the following...
  "Wow!  what a finish, the very first win for driver so&so..Time for golf
so check thepapers for the driver interviews.. goodbye..."

Thanks for the info guys. I have Speedchannel available on my cable
system. But I've been avoiding getting it thus far because it will
nearly double my cable bill. Have to order digital cable and have a
$9/mo converter box on each of 3 tv's in the house. So far I've been
unable to convince the wife that the Speechannel is worth $35/mo.  (:O

Btw.....while I agree this is a great thing for fans who have
Speechannel, it does nothing to help the woes of CART. I would imagine
that viewership numbers on any race shown on the Speedchannel vs ESPN
or CBS are considerably lower. That can't be a good thing to attract
more sponsors to CART, or keep the ones they have.

They seem to have totally killed the international audience for CART now.

This is very stupid IMHO and VERY annoying for me personally (being a
Scott Dixon fan and all)

Grr

I can't belive I can get all the drag racing I want on my sky digital but
can't get CART racing.

Speed Channel is now up to 70 million homes, compared to ESPN's (or is the
deuce?) 85 million. Not bad, but considering that SC was only in 45 million
homes six months ago, it is a strong upward trend. SC will probably be as
ubiquitous as ESPN in a few years, so plenty of people will be watching
CART.
