Ah, you gotta love Louisiana! As ass-backwards as we are, at least Fox Sports Southwest has sympathy for non-NASCAR fans and is showing the USGP. Any city not showing this race needs their butts kicked! I mean, it's not like Phoenix and the infamous 1991 "ostrich race" taking race fans away from the action! The damn Reds?! White Sox?! THAT's stuff you put on tape-delay! Sundown

No shit! I took off work to watch this race live, then I tune in and I get Chicago's Sox's Underground. The Sox's are already in the playoffs there is no reason why this game should be on TV live over one of the biggest single day sporting events of the year. I hope someone else gets F1 when the contract is up for talks again. Kyle Roberts wrote: > Damn Fox Sports Ohio and the Cincinnati Reds to hell!!!

I'm one of the lucky ones who got it both on Speedvision and on Fox Sports Net. Up until today, I've always watched F1 on Speedvision, since it's always broadcast live. Fox is normally on tape delay, but today, their coverage was live, as well. So I was switching back and forth during commercials. Overall, I thought that Fox's coverage (of the race -- not sure about pre-race) was superior. Lots more in-car shots, which is what I like. Overall, I thought that as an event, the whole thing was top notch. You could feel the great atmosphere right thru the TV. don hodgdon wrote:

I'm glad i'm not the only one that was SO pissed off by that decision! Let Fox Sports Net Ohio know how much you love their decision as well.. But i was planning on watching the speedvision race anyway. Much more coverage, and better announcers :) Digital Cable is nice.

I watched the race tape-delayed on Fox Sports after the race. I agree that Fox did a good job of capturing the atmosphere, but as good as they did, it still compares to the actual atmosphere at the race itself. Hock the jewels, sell the kids, put the wife into a prostitution ring, but make sure you get tickets for next year if you couldn't make it this year! ;-) -- JB (finally drying out, but it was worth it!)

If you live in Cincy, and didn't go to at least qualifying, then you made a mistake. I drove back and forth all 3 days from Cincy, and the Friday/Saturday run was a breeze in and out of Indy. Sit where you want, watch the garage action....and the sound.....my gawd, the sound!! My ears are still ringing Mon nite from Sat qualifying (bring ear plugs). Sunday sucked out loud, unless you have decent tickets (I obviously didn't) then yer screwed. Plus you have the hideous Indy 500/Brickyard type traffic to deal with. Oh yeah, and spend the dime with Warner and get Speedvision, or go Direct TV.

FSN Has always done things ass backwards. They televise crap games that dont mean shit and dont televise the ones that do. I was at the race so I didnt miss it on TV. And for those that want to buy tickets. Drive up on Sat next year and buy from a scalper. We ordered tickets and got shitty seats but we upgraded from a scalper and were on the front stretch fopr only $20 more. At race time the scalpers were almost giving away seats so they didnt lose all there money. Will be back next year, but ill wait until Sat to get my tickets. Damn it was a bit chilly on Sun. jim On Sun, 24 Sep 2000 13:02:39 -0400, "Kyle Roberts" <[email hidden]> wrote: >Damn Fox Sports Ohio and the Cincinnati Reds to hell!!!
