I have to agree about the drag boat racing. That stuff is awesome. How can you beat big blocks, blowers, bikinis and boats? I've been going to the Southern Drag Boat Assoc. races for years. You'll never meet better racers or spectators. A drag boat series would have to beat the heck out of a series about wreckers.

Yes. More "IHBA Drag Boat Racing". The boats are powered by the same 7000 HP power plants as Top Fuel Dragsters. Adding the water component makes them much more exciting than their asphalt counter parts. The guys that drive them are the among the biggest daredevils of any sport.

I would also love to see Drag Boat Racing, to me there is nothing more exciting than watching a pair of Top Fuel Hydros side by side on the liquid 1/4 mile. The Top Fuel guys are starting to get very consistant down in the 4's.

If you guys were in charge of programming at Speed, I'd prolly watch a lot more Speed. How 'bout showing SWC in a decent time slot? A decent TV package for Koni Challenge would be nice. Maybe weekly 1/2 hour shows for NASA and SCCA Club racing? FIA GT? LMES? Brazilian stock cars, Aussie V-8s, WTCC? Since we're talking about boat racing, anyone remember the Aussie Jet Sprints? Cool stuff.
And, we've got to recognize that Nascar is still the 800 lb gorilla. So give them an hour a night. No more, no less.

I'd be satisfied if they'd just show the racing 'same day'. On the weekends I don't want to see stuff like "Pinks", "Wrecked", "Superbikes", "NAPCAR Nation", or whatever. Show that drivel during the week. There is more than enough motorsports out there that most weekends could practically be filled with racing and there would be no need to show all the vapid 'lifestyle' shows. As far as racing:
F1: Probably the most watched racing series out there. Though I'm not a major fan.
MotoGP: Why can't they show the Saturday races (Qatr, Assen) on race day?
AMA Superbike: I'm okay if they show the dumbed down "Daytona Stupidbike" at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, but the top tier racing should be shown same day. Not sure it needs to be live since the AMA seems to be addicted to red flags of late.
FIM WSBK: Again, same day coverage would be cool.
I realize the bike racing isn't as popular as the NAPCAR roundy-round stuff, but if Speed promoted it 1/10th as much as they do their insipid 'reality' shows it could gain a following.

First get rid of all the cheapo reality crap now!!! Then cover more racing(not SCRAPCAR)tape delay during the week,l all racing on weekends. Bring back "VIctory by Design" "American Muscle Car" , and shows like that. Cover the Isle of Mann, it's only the oldest motorcycle race there is. Cover Goodwood and do decent coverage on the Monterey Historics, in fact cover vintage racing in depth its really great to see vintage cars run in anger again. For everybody else cover boats, motor cycles, and A-1 GP. I guarrantee I'll watch alot more and so will others
