Both shows suck

In 4 sentences, you've summed up all that is wrong with Speed.

Wow, SpeedTV sucks horribly. There is better racing on You Tube. Just watching amateur video or racing shows recorded on other TV networks around the world is much better than anything Speed shows.
I use to love Speed. WRC, Sunday night MotoGP, F1. MotoGP is now mid afternoon, WRC is gone, no Top Gear, and F1 is plagued with crappy video quality, non existent audio of the cars, no showing of morning practices, Bob Varsha, etc.

Pinks. I've never seen a show devoted to such white trash in-bred mental midget mutants. You couldn't give me one of those white trash crap-mobiles.

Let's see if the producers of these crappy shows have Speed by the short hairs. How long til they delete my post? Maybe if they spent the money they spend on these show for WRC and Friday morning F1 practice, Speed wouldn't have its most loyal customers complaining on a daily basis.

By the way, for any advertisers looking at these boards, pissed-off haters of Speed who hold our nose to watch the little bit of racing that is shown here, don't buy products advertised on Speed.

Unfortunately, I bet the Nascar viewers that post in their forum (approaching 8000 posts...second only to F1), think that Speed is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They are what drives the advertising dollars. Also, we hate Pinks and Unique, but absolutely Speed has done their marketing research. Those shows wouldn't be on if it weren't for a loyal fan base....sad but true. I liked Speedvision so much more. Airplane racing, boat racing, awesome car racing....now we get demolition derbies and the like.

[b:c84814dae6]Exactly.[/b:c84814dae6] Speed is going down hill fast. rolleyes

It is sad that SPEED now creates all these "shows" that are designed to appeal to people that are not even intelligent enough to use a computer.

This great country is built around people from other countries. The motorsports people in those other countries are insanely devoted to their sports. I remember when the WRC was on. I blew me away to see all those people crowding the course or lined up on the hillside like mountain goats just to see their favorite driver or car go by. At the most they got about 10-15 seconds of action....that's devotion. The Europeans follow F1 and Touring Cars like Americans follow Britney Spears.

My point is that these people are here too. Show the good racing, market it properly, and Speed will develop a loyal following. I'd like to see how many people here log onto the WRC.com to get results and maybe catch a video or two.

Unfortunately, Speed is dumbing-down their audience by putting shows on like Pinks and Unique Whips and they put all the better shows on late at night or early in the morning. All this is a moot point because I'm sure the Speed execs pour over their marketing and viewing reports and schedule what people ask for. :(

Almost everything about Speed TV sucks the big one. From endless Nascrap trash to the stupid reality shows showing the danger of inbreeding and incest (not just the actors--I also mean the complete idiots at Speed who put this stuff in the air).

Speedvision--it was great! Cars, bikes, boats and planes--it was on all the time and we all loved it. It comes as part of my satellite TV deal; I'd never order it.

Speed TV management are idiots.

Dump the pseudo reality shows---No Pinks, Unique Whips, etc. Just racing and historical race documentries. None of that 'extreme' culture crap involving angst-ridden, tatooed losers dressed like they might have just come home from a Nazi youth meeting.

there seems to be a lot of mechanically challenged people on here
those who cannot see beyond their nose.if you really understood
pinks and the new show(pass time) you would not use terms like,
moron,losers,inbred,e.t.c. unless you are intimately close to them!!
i hope speed ignores the comments of the very few and continues
with these highly rated shows.
