It figures they'd even have a better version of trucks too.....

I wish this would have been part of the package too.

THAT'S what I am talking about!!!



Just got done watching the Sydney 500 on SPEED, good stuff. Thank you SPEED!!!



Now a couple concerns, is this going to be the regular time slot? It would be shown directly vs NASCAR if so, which could not hurt the ratings any worse. I'd like to see it in the motorcycle timeslot, after Cup before SPEEDNews for ratings purposes. But I'll gladly give up watching roughly half the NASCAR races for V8s myself.

And two: some ads letting potential viewers that it exists would also be nice. Watching the BTCC and DTM shows on Saturday, I noticed a complete lack of ads for the V8s. and vise versa. EVERYBODY that watches SPEED knows that Bullrun is coming back, nobody knows that racing is on. I would hate to lose these great racing series once again due to lack of viewers, and if that happens, one could only blame SPEED for not properly promoting it.



Rant over.



Thanks again for returning three of my favorite series back to US TV

Before GM's latest problems Pontiac was talking about importing the Aussie Ute as the new El Camino. I would have bought one n a heartbeat.

^ I had heard that too. I cannot believe that GM didn't instantly kill the current Impala and replace it with Commodore/G8 the second they announced they were killin Pontiac. I have been hearing something about it maybe being the GM police car, so if it does become that, hopefully it will come with a street version.

^ They'd have to drop in a four or six to keep the Impala's demographic of the aged from killing themselves.

^ OK, then rebadge the Impala as a Buick and shill it to the old folks. Wait, aren't Buicks already made for oldies? Screw it, kill the Impala!!!!!

Just don't call the Chevy G8 a Bel Air though.
