This figg'n blow's chunk's. I pay monthly for Speed TV to watch Nascar crap only to get Moto GP,WSB,and all AMA stuff. Now I get to watch the 200 live but have to wait 2 week's to see any other race results all season long. Why would I want to watch a race thats 2 weeks old and already know the race results from the NET ??? This is crap is all I have to say. What can Obama do about this??? | ||

Obama can't do anything to help you until you are 12 months behind on your cable, satellite, telephone, car and bar tab. | ||

Glass half full opinion: This is a LOT better than we've had for AMA coverage in recent years. There were some Superbike races covered live, but (except for the Daytona 200) you could never get Formula XTreme even on delay. We had to wait 6 months to get spotty, clipped up coverage of Moto-ST. Now, at least, we should be able to see more races and they should be relatively fresh. And we'll know when to tune in and it seems we'll even have something to watch on non-race weekends. And if you go to one of the races, it will be cool to be able to catch the broadcast later. They need to get people starting to know that AMA racing even exists and having shows every week at the same time should do a lot to help that cause. Maybe not ideal, but it could of (and has) been a lot worse. | ||

Whats fresh about two week's old. Speed TV I see it every weekend before. If I go to a race??? I have a DVR for crying out loud. Like I said though. We'll know all results for two weeks before it aired. That means by the time we watch it I'll know the next races result's also. We'll be way behind the action. | ||

Won't two week old Moto-GT coverage be a LOT fresher than last year's Moto-ST coverage? And like I said, we didn't even get Formula Xtreme coverage before. Wouldn't you rather see Danny Eslick, Michael Barnes etc. two weeks late rather than not at all? | ||

I have to be honest. Moto-ST I'm really not a fan of watching on TV. | ||

Well that may be part of the difference in our views. I'm a fan of Buell racing. For the first time in my life (not counting the Daytona 200) I'll be able to see Buell's racing on TV within a week or two of the actual event. No more squinting at my computer screen and waiting for the laps to turn over so I can see if any positions have changed. If I can avoid finding out who won (and I don't think I'll be in danger of overhearing who won the Road America Sportbike class at the mall) I can watch it when it airs as if it were live. I think that's pretty cool. . . . though I guess by the time I actually got to see the Moto-ST races I had forgotten who had won anyway . . . | ||

Moto ST is not as fun to watch on TV as Live and AMA has alot more excitement then Moto ST. I'm a Buell race fan now that they are in the AMA line up it make it more exciting. But why watch it when I know the results already??? | ||

Hey at least I'll still see the 200 LIVE!!! I had plans with a few others from the forum that I'd hate to see get moved to another date. |
