I need to see Drag Boat Racing. During July, the big 2 of the big 3 sports aren't even playing and baseball is in the middle of a very, very long season. Boat racing would be HUGE for me and give other people who don't even know much about it something to watch instead people talking about stuff like Brett Favre and his retirement issues etc, etc... Please lets see some fast action on the water. I can hear the roar of the boats in the surround-sound now. The time has come!

I would love to see expanded coverage of the Bathurst Australian V8 Supercars race at Mt. Panorama. Cool cars. Incredibly unique race track.


If that includes the 24 hour Australian race then.....YES!........what he said!

Belleville Nationals. Copper Classic.

Drag boats, Unlimited hydros.

LeMans 24, with nighttime looks at what's happening off the track too.......and replay that sub 3 minute Audi rearend resection every once in a while.

F1 Snowmobiles.

Old ABC archived races from the 60's and 70's......all the venues all the disciplines.

BTC within a week of the race.



It simply amazes me that there is no money to pick up some great stuff but plenty of cash to see school buses chained together. Listen! I'm shaking my head.

1. Motogp qualifying practice
2. WSBK superpole
3. Quad racing
4. MUCH LESS muscle car 'how to', NASCAR rehash and squid biker fodder - more F1, sports car and two wheel racing oriented shows
5. Show the races on the weekend - show the filler carp during the week

Drag Boat racing needs more coverage on television. Isn't that what SpeedTv is? A need for speed? If you have never been to a drag boat racing I suggest you go. You can stand on the river bank and hear the thunder of the boats going past and it is exciting. Please put more on for us to watch. grin

The drag boats already have coverage. OLN?

And when all else fails, BLAME SPEED!

“Crap programs” are anything that I don’t like.

“Because I don’t watch it” means that nobody watches it either.

I think Speed's coverage of F1 is superb. I subscribe to cable solely to get it. I hope we can get it in HD eventually.

I was really disappointed a couple years back to see WRC racing dropped from the schedule. I think these guys are hands-down the greatest drivers on the planet. Restoration of this coverage would be my No. 1 hope.

I love the MotoGP races, though it would be fun to get a bit more detail--as in F1 coverage. And the FIM World Superbike stuff is also excellent.

I agree with most of what has been posted. What I would like to see is the elimination of about 90% of the mindless World Racing Entertainment (also known as NASCAR) programming. I'm tired of some nitwit telling me that "these are the greatest racing drivers in the world." Right. Let's see one of them drive Spa in the rain.

I vote for more diversity. Bring back the WRC. Don't use British Touring Car and DTM events as winter fillers and show them when (or shortly after) they are run. And please, don't even mention the IRL on any of the broadcasts.

Someone mentioned a weekly F1 program with Varsha and Hobbs. How about a weekly show covering ALMS (no Grand Am. It should be treated the same as the IRL and never mentioned.)

What was wrong with the old Speed Vision Schedule?
I like roadracing. Just about any kind.
Don't care for so much NASCRAP
30 minutes of Pinks a day is plenty... Unless Jenna Jameson is some how involved.
Same for Low and whatever, Tunas, and all the other low-budget-fill-in-space-for-the-next-NASCRAP-show stuff.
Seriously, what the heck were y'all thinking with Wrecked? We have to sit in traffic while all these trucks are removed from bridges, overpasses or whatever and then have the privlige to watch it again over and over when we finally get home.
How about a show featuring 3 or 4 hours of kittens being run over or something? Plenty of them in the road, too.
