Speed Channel Suggestions...

I read that these suggestions do get to the proper place, and why not...

"More WRC, Touring car and Sprts Car racing please, less repetitive Nascar."

I sent in my 2 cents:

Quote:

Less talking about racing, and more actual racing.

I can only stomach so much "this is what happened last Sunday at Darlington, and this is what's gonna happen next week at Bristol" NASCAR coverage. Sure I want to watch all the NASCAR races, but in between them, show me WRC, F1, Sports Cars, Cart, IRL, MotoGP, IHRA, Ice Racing, British RallyCross, BTCC, Australian V8 Super Touring Cars, etc, etc, etc...

There's lots of racing going on each week... I'd rather see it instead of watch people *talk* about NASCAR.

And I miss having Dave on every night... :(

I made my contribution.

I would like to see more ACTUAL RACING on SPEED Channel. A few years ago when you were known as Speedvision, I could tune in at almost any time of day and find *some* kind of racing, whether it be sports cars, Hooters Cup, off road trucks, boat racing, etc. etc. etc. - it was pure beauty.

Now, almost every time I tune in to SPEED it's either a bunch of people sitting around TALKING about racing, or some ridiculous Pimp-My-Unique-Whips-Whilst-Sipping-On-Gin-N-Juice tuner/car building show, or Kenny Wallace getting his eyebrows waxed on the latest NASCAR driver reality show, or some combination of all three.

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?? There is plenty of actual RACING happening around the world EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. I'd like to actually see some of it again.

The only reason I signed up for extended cable was to watch racing on SPEED; I'm seriously thinking about cancelling it due to all the crap programming you've infested the channel with in the last couple of years.

According to Miram Webster, it is.

I wasn't denying it... merely commenting on how we really DO learn something new every day. :p

Disgruntledly - that's how I left the DMV today. (I can assure you all that no improvements have been made there in the last year. :rolleyes: )

Two days ago I had the pleasure of seeing "Dust To Glory." It reminded me of the Speedvision of old, where anything involving motors and a winner could be seen at any time. One could always flip over and find actual racing happening... instead of a coupel of guys talking about racing, and usually saying the same exact things as the last group of guys talking about racing, because there hasn't been anything new to develop in the world of Nascar between Monday and Thursday. So please, heed the crys from the masses that I klnow you're getting- SHOW MORE RACING! Less "motorsports entertainment." there's no such thing beyond actual racing.

My contribution. I had to re-write some ranting out more than once.

OH man! My car was purchased while I was living in Cali, then I moved to Nv before I had liscensed it, not to mention the dealership had written the financed dmv fees check to Ca. so needless to say, It was ludicrous!! SEVEN trips to the dmv later my car was liscensed and titled, It was lame!!

I feel compelled to comment on a disturbing trend in your programing. More talk about racing, and less racing. Worse yet are the shows that aren't even about speed, but "looks". What's next, Extreme Makeover Car edition? Please leave the aesthetics to HGTV and Oxygen and give us more of what we want: SPEED!

Personally I would like to see even more road course events and less oval, but if it is going fast, I'm pretty happy. I'd watch Train races if they went fast. I can't handle any more talk about the last NASCAR race. By Tuesday, that is pretty much old news. Give it a rest.
