I just looked at the program schedule for the coverage of the Petit Le Mans @ Road Atlanta on Oct. 4th, only to be DISGUSTED by what I saw. Of course I will be there, but for those that aren't, they are getting a raw deal. Coverage goes from the start at 11:00 to 1:00. Then goes away for Sprint Cup Qually, NCTS Setup, then a NCTS Race. Then Petit back on from 6:30 to the end. I just can't believe for a race with this significance, that comes only once a year, that they are skimping on the coverage this much!! Rediculous!!
Do you think perhaps they'll show the missing hours on this website?

Complain to NASCAR/FOX/SPEED, they control it...
And get nothing. Speed is Fox and Fox is NASCAR and NASCAR generates the profits.

Well, if everybody is expected to have high-speed internet and be able to watch live races on the computer, then why even broadcast PLM at all on SpeedTV. Since Fox and Nascar came in the picture, every other type of racing take the back seat. NASCAR qualifying is about the most f'ng boring thing you could watch. IMO truck racing should be like CORR.
Personally, I have given up on SpeedTV to be anything but the NASCRAP channel. Sure, they throw us a live sportscar race occasionally. But they suck 90 percent of the time.

I would rather be able to watch it on the internet than not at all so let's hope they webcast the missing hours. On top of that I have no problem if they use the audio from Jeremy Shaw et all who do the radio.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the Speed TV forum after all. Seems to me he is complaining to Speed.
