    Hey can't fault Jeff Gordon for that. Every one of those things is $$$ in his pocket. You can however wonder about the types of people that buy that stuff.

            In any case I wouldn't be upset if I could find some decent motorsports that were airing on another channel. My beef is the fact that the Speed Channel airs NASCAR crap nearly round the clock, and its particularly frustrating when they are showing a re-run of a fucking Craftsman Truck race when I know there is an Aussie V8 race going LIVE at the exact same time.

                speed used to be so good, they used to air wrc a lot years ago, along with all kinds of neat motorsports... haven't watched the channel in a long time as my basic doesn't have it on there (fuck cable one)...

                  Yeah years ago when I was a direcTV subscriber speed was cool. WRC coverage and Speed World Challenge was great TV.

                  The only motorsports I watch now are formula 1.. and i download torrents of the BBC UK coverage. Much better than the US broadcast team.

                  For stuff with a very broad world-wide appea, like F1 and WRC, finding torrents is probably your best bet. Speed really is the NASCAR channel now.

                      agreed. Even street customs is a good show. West Coast Customs had a bad tv rep after doing pimp my ride for so long, but street customs sort of gives them some sort of credibility back

                                You're not seriously suggesting that NASCAR is more exciting than rally? How about the Australian V8 Supercars, those guys hit the rumble strips so hard half the car gets airborne. F1 has lost a lot of excitement with the current rules but is still much more entertaining than NASCAR.

                                      I can actually get into Monster Jam if I ignore the announcers. Those 5-6 ton trucks accelerate faster than most supercars and jump 30 feet in the air, that's fucking cool.

                                        You're not seriously suggesting that NASCAR is more exciting than rally? How about the Australian V8 Supercars, those guys hit the rumble strips so hard half the car gets airborne. F1 has lost a lot of excitement with the current rules but is still much more entertaining than NASCAR.

                                        Yea being cars driving around a track following each other is exciting to watch. Would be fun to drive, not so fun to watch. Rally yea it would be cool to do, and those guys are crazy, probably pretty fun to see in person but on tv no. At least there is actual racing in nascar.

                                        Lol... should be the White Trash Motorsports network...

                                        golf is just hitting a ball, basketball is just shooting hoops, hockey is just skating back and fourth, drag racing is just driving in a straight line. People bitch about everything they dont like.

                                          F1 has a MUCH broader following worldwide than NASCAR....and more excitable fans. It's really too bad that Americans have such a short attention span otherwise I'm positive that F1 would be followed more closely here, but it seems like we (as a nation) can't follow a race that involves left AND right hand turns without getting confused about who is leading and what is going on. There is so much more strategy/technology in F1 than NASCAR that its not even funny. You can't just rub and bash your way to the front and hope that your car holds up. It takes far more finesse and skill to race at ridiculously high speeds with cars that are engineered to properly race rather than compete in a high speed demolition derby.

                                          F1>NASCAR all day, every day....especially Sundays
