Less than 24hours now.....
My question: Why replace the SpeedVision logo with that cheezzzeball SpeedChannel logo?

I hope you all like Nascar Classic! ARCA and the Truck series!

Re: So long SpeedVision.............Hello NASCAR channel, excuse me SpeedChannel (lip)

Ugh. I don't have digital cable yet (where Speed is offered) so I usually just drop by a friends house to see whats on. Last time I went, I turned on Speed and they had an ALMS race during the afternoon and a WRC event in the evening which I loved.
Went over yesterday and ... 24 hours of Daytona (stock car/going around a circle *YAWN*) racing. Sucked so bad that I turned on Martha Stewart.

I realize that Speed Channel said they were going to increase their NASCAR coverage, but based on their teaser commercials they have been running for a while now, they had a little bit of everything in there, not just NASCAR.
I'll tell you what, if they fill some of those damn infomercials time slots with some NASCAR coverage it wouldn't be the end of the world... they don't have enough programming as it is. We'll see how things go once they changeover completely, but I'm not willing to write them off completely yet.

I treat Speedvision as a VCR channel. There is lot's of great stuff, but I rarely watch any of it live. Therefore they can show WRC or Australian touring cars at 4am and it makes no difference to me.
Re: So long SpeedVision.............Hello NASCAR channel, excuse me SpeedChannel (vwvortex1)

Yeah what Jamie said. From the looks of it, it's actually gonna get better. Haven't any of you seen the new WRC coverage. It's great, and they show it as it happens, not a few weeks/months later.

With that level of ignorance about racing you would be better off with Martha Stewart.

Sometimes I think you complainers don't even WATCH the darn station!

Rumors of Speedvisions (Speed Channel) demise have been greatly exaggerated. All I've seen is less infomercial crap replaced with actual racing. Maybe it's not the kind of racing YOU like the best, but at least it's cars going around a track and not Ron Popiel pushing his rotisserie or some 45 year old guy talking about his damn abs.
The WRC coverage is BETTER then ever! There is a big ad in C&D this month touting Speed Channel as the home of Speed Vision World Challenge, CART, Formula 1, ALMS, World Rally, and Moto GP. They don't even mention NASCAR!
I think some of you whiners are actually disapointed that the channel hasn't gone to the crapper.

Hmm,doesn't Texas have the largest number of NASCAR fans?

What I really want to know is when they will have a 24 hour racing channel like SpeedChannel or any other available in South America and will Speed Channel cover the 24 hours of LeMans which I consider to be the best race of them all?

C'mon, tell the truth.Texas has almost 3 times the population of North Carolina and is probably the tractor pull capital of the world.I don't know how you pull them tractors though.Must be the breeding.
Texas is also the only state crazy enough to have a yearly rattle snake festival where they eat them critters and play with 'em and all.

Did you know if you rearrange the letters in Texas it spells Astex

Speedvision has historically showed the entire 24 of Daytona, 12 hours of Sebring, and 24 of Lemans live for the last few years, so they probably will again this year.
I live in NC, I like Winston Cup racing, I may be simple minded but at least I know a VR6 will beat a 1.9L BMW in the 1/4

Ummm, which BMW did you see being beaten in a race by a VR6 powered VW? I certainly don't recall the 1.9 liter powered BMW in recent history - of course I am not too familiar with the North American product line.
Re: So long SpeedVision.............Hello NASCAR channel, excuse me SpeedChannel (der Sensenmann)

I don't know about you, but I am really getting into that lawnmower racing.
Ok, that was a blatant lie. Like Jamie said, if I never have to see the Amazing gas saving tornado or hear "Set it and forget it," I will be ok.
Just don't take my WRC <clutches shotgun>
And kill that dumb import show kid while your at. I feel like punching my couch when I watch him
