But back to the point. Nascar-Vision will be great for American short track
racing, bad for american road racing, except the LeMans series which NASCAR
has a part of (I think.)

Priceless....
P.S. - yeah, I know - knocking on spelliing, grammar, etc. is kinda lame -
BUT when someone is trying to sound pompous / elitist / etc. - I think it's
kinda justified <VBG>

It's easy to take the extremist viewpoint, but SV is going to keep the
programming that brings in $$, and filler ***will be the first to
go.

I am smelling the coffee. SV's chance of being profitable with it's
current lineup is _small_. Adding some NASCAR programming is going to
help insure that the things we all want to see are going to hang
around.
I hope.

With nascarvision we can pretty much forget about the Dakar coverage.
For me the sign will be when DeCadenet goes. Once they can him you know they
are serious about driving the final stake through the heart of racing in
America. "Get it off TV then they won't bicker when we make right turns
illegal in the WKA and IKF." Them nascar hick ***sticks can't stand to see
a talented driver go. Just ruins their day.
...and don't even get 'em started on a proper racing car... nothing should
weigh 1000 pounds.

Caught that... marvelous! A real shame the format is changing. :-(
Somebody over in alt.recreation.boating probably is, I bet. My wife once
commented on the amount of non-auto programming and all I could say is that
it IS "SPEEDvision" after all, and no doubt there are boating and aviation
enthusiasts out there who'll miss that stuff as much as I'll miss the live
F1 and Le Mans broadcasts. We niche groups have to stick together. :-)
