Did you see the Silver Arrows special the other night (the "History of
Audi" documentary)? GREAT show!!! Things like that will be missed.

Look at the Speedvision lineup - they can dump the ***they have on
there and replace it with NASCAR, which will actually bring in
dollars. Let's hope these programming changes insure the future of
Speedvision and it's diverse coverage.
I won't be shedding tears for the loss of boat restoration shows.

I'm not a boat restoring kinda person but i rather watch that than
nascar. Come on, 43 red necks turning left for four hours then a daily
hour long show that recaps there left turning abilities...

Yeah, I'll miss all that ***too, the ALMS coverage, since it conflicts
with the Nascar partner SCCA Grand AM, will be gone, The sedan coverage,
even though this year there was precious little, can't have folks seeing V8
Aussie cars and wonder why the Winston Cup rigs look heavy. 24hours of Le
Mans...Are you kidding me..it comes right in the middle of the
Winston....Cart News Coverage?--In a program called 'Totally Nascar'?
Rallye? Yeah SV has a lot of filler crap, but that ain't the stuff that
will be going bye-bye...I hope you get to like Bill Dye's BassMasters
Fishing Tourneys...You'll be seeing alot more of that than Non-Nascar event
coverage.

AMA SUPERBIKE
Speedvision To Air 2002 Daytona 200
Speedvision Productions President Dan Murphy
Monterey, CA, July 8 - At the conclusion of the Race Two Press Conference
this afternoon at the Honda International Superbike Classic Speedvision
Productions President Dan Murphy took the stage and made the following
announcement:
"Daytona International Speedway and Speedvision announced today that the
main event, the Daytona 200 from Bike Week at the 'World Center of Racing',
will be televised on Speedvision beginning with the 2002 season!"
Whom do you suppose owns DIS?
Hopefully this means we won't have to wait 6 weeks til the AMA race is
telecast, like this year, but still it is just another offshoot of the Giant
Umbrella called Nascar. Grand Am and the Rolex 24 hours most likely will
survive...but other Euro series will most likely disappear.

The arrival of NASCAR programming means we won't be seeing things like
boat restoration, historic racing documentaries (other than NASCAR),
rally racing, F1 coverage, airshow coverage, etc. -- ALL of which have
helped make Speedvision what it is. And all of which will have
NOTHING to do with a "NASCAR Channel" -- or no place there, either.
Wake up and smell the coffee -- NASCAR means the death of Speedvision
as we know it. It's not a "for better or worse" situation -- it's
DEFINITELY going to get worse.

Unfortunately, I believe you're 100% correct on this one, Dave.

"Speedvision's coverage is a win-win for the sport," said Speedway
President John Graham.
Meaning, Speedvision is a win-win for ANYTHING that has any remote
tie-in with NASCAR. Do you think they would air the Superbike
championship during NASCAR's Speedweeks if the Superbike event was at
Lime Rock? This benefits NASCAR, plain and simple -- it has nothing
to do with providing good coverage of motorsports.
Hollow rhetoric. We'll see no more Speedvision Cup, and no more
American LeMans, either -- not with NASCAR's own Grand Am series
needing coverage.

I don't consider Speedvision's lineup to be of bad quality. Some shows are
questionnable, for sure it's not a perfect lineup, but another time a big
reason of SV's popularity is the lack of NASCAR.
About every NASCAR coverage possible is on the other channels, what's the
need to add more? There won't be nothing new.

Most of the people appreciate the "STOCK CAR" coverage on Speedvision. It's
different then the "NASCAR" coverage. There's plenty of great short track
oval racing on Speedvision.
