Check out the Cart race at Michigan. Great race!

I hope I never have to watch another race on TBS. Have you EVER seen so many commercials in your life? I thought broadcast TV was bad, but these people take the cake. It is averaging a commercial every THREE Laps! Pathetic. Take note, Nascar. -Larry

You'll be begging for TBS after Fox gets their hands on Nascar next year... *shudder*

Hi, A great race... between all of the extended interruptions to cover golf and the tour de France! :( >Check out the Cart race at Michigan. Great race!

Since racing is such a constant sport, I wish they could do what they do in soccer (Futbol) and just show banner adds in the upper left, and then just show the real commercial breaks during the caution laps. Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1ee88do.1wp55juo3r2i9N%[email hidden]...

But of course we are talking about the United States of America, the land of capitalism. You won't be able to find such thing for at least a decade <vbg>. Corporate advertising won't accept sharing the same TV space with the event they are sponsoring. They have to brainwash people with total 100% controlled 30-second spots :) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
