Both races have been moved on TSN2...if you can get TSN2...

This sucks hard TSN...as usual, you are one of the worst networks out there.

God I wish we could get ESPN...

are the boards working correctly?

They work just fine, thanks. But I have no concept of time and struggle with coherent conversation, so I am starting to understand it better now.

Yes, once again, we get shafted when it comes to NASCAR racing in Canada. :(

I have no choice to pick it up as I live rural and can't go with the Sasktel option. I'm not sure if I'm more pissed at TSN for this stunt; Starchoice for not picking up the TSN2 channel or Nascar for giving it to TSN in the first place.

I hope Nascar is paying attention and find someone next year that will provide all Canadians with an opportunity to see all the races.

EDIT Nevermind it's not on the HD channel either, the info was wrong.

BEV has to get this TSN2 thing straightened out!!

TSN2 is a crock of crap, basically a dumping ground for repeats and such, with the occasional use for what TSN-A was for in the past. TSN's move to create a second channel (and therefore attempt to raise your cable or dish rates) is nothing more than a cash grab, plain and simple.

The time has come fellow Canadians to rise up again the man. The CRTC needs to hear from you, they need to open the Canadian market to allow more US channels into Canada, and to stop the terrible subbing of canadian channels over US when they run the same show in the same time block. Enough already.

It's election time. Perhaps one of the parties would like to tackle the issue?

Yes once again we are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to coverage in Canada. So far this year the Nationwide race from Daytona in July was bumped to an insane time, there was no live coverage of The Glen, Michigan qualifying and now Richmond. I am with Bell Tv and trying to get an answer from them is a waste of time, I was told that one of the reasons to drop TSN-A was from a "lack of interest"! I was wondering if the decision makers within NASCAR are even aware that the Canadian fans that helped to make Montreal one of the most attended and successful Nationwide races of the year are getting shafted by the company they decided to give an exclusive contract to?

NASCAR head office 386-253-0611
Bell Tv president/vice president? residential services

Maybe we should be e-mailing one of the guys from Speed TV coverage so they could send us their sympathies while we do get to watch the pre-race on Speed.

The only suggestion I have for today is NASCAR.com is giving Trackpass for free for the race today...

Thanks for the numbers, I'll be placing some calls today.

I posted about Trackpass in one of the Nascar in Canada threads, but I don't see my post anymore. Maybe it was 'off topic' or the board ate it.
