I'd love to see some outlaw races on speed.

I really thought they did show them when it first started up. I had a friend that use to watch them all the time on SPEED and that's how I can't turned on to it.

Maybe it was a contract thing and now they don't show them anymore.

Guess they let their ratings go to their head and now they're the big boys and show hours upon hours of Pinks and wrecked cars. :)

They don't show all of the races. There are only a select few that are televised on Speed. It was much better back when TNN televised the Outlaw races.

This pass december I spent a few weeks at the parents place and was all keyed up to watch the speed channel since I don't have cable or sat. tv.

What a MAJOR let down. I thought 90% was bunk. A total B.S. waste of air time.

And frankly, I don't want a "Nascar channel". Because I don't think it would be "fair and balanced". The one up-side would be to see racing from previous years like the NFL channel does with football.

Didn't Nascar spank Tony Stewart for saying something about them on his show?

I believe Tony got upset over a call during a race & called out the NASCAR Officials for it on his show. NASCAR thought it would be a good idea to have a talk with Tony when he got to the next race...:shock:

I can't remember which race it was, but it was back in 2007...:)

The only Pinks show I watched was the one when they were out here at Bandimere Speedway. Rich is hot with his bald head and all :) LOL

And you get on me about my tall women. I wouldn't be sharing that information with everyone...:right:

I'm glad I still have all my hair...:scratch:

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" A lot of those "offers" are made.

Back in the day the tv networks only showed "highlights" from the race.

Hmm...many of today's races could benefit from that. That actually MIGHT make california (auto club) better. :p

The highlight thing was 30+ years ago. I'd guess that Easy meant pre FOX in 2001.

I agree 100% on California! :yesshake:

Also, the Beatles are going to make a comeback later this year. A game called RockBand is releasing a Special Beatles edition in time for Christmas. :clap:

Humm back in the day let's see was that when there was one car left on the lead lap and there was no tv at all? just curious

Dont steal one liners from Choc. dude.:loser: I said TV was better, I didnt say anything about the racing itself. If you think the garbage on TV today is good, then by all means enjoy it. That would mean that you are who they are catering to, but it damn sure aint me! :buttrock:

Of course they could have made it better, they had 2 choices and still screwed it up!
1. Move it
2. Cancel it and have a day off
