like we need ANOTHER sports channel. it's bad enough that espn cuts drag racing short so the Japanese little league game can be aired.If it's about money, how many big dollar sponsors does that bring in?

That Suck's I hope they keep the live supercross. Just to Keep it drag-racing related Zach Osborn (Marks son) is having a pretty good year so far.

I wonder what's going to happen with the BJ auction, if the restructured SC doesn't give them 5 -6 day coverage. gsa612

I'm sure BJ isn't happy as the article said, SC built BJ to a new level. But I'm sure BJ will sustain.

Yes I'm dissapointed to hear this, however, do you all remember when Speed was really good!
We had F1, Rally, Le Mans, V8 supercars, lots of European series, and some really good follow up shows, then Nascar hit it with 'em and it's never been the same !!!!

I'm glad F1 moved on to NBC since SPEEDs now gone, hopefully they will add some of the other series, too. I started watching some V8 supercars last year when it was on SPEED and online, that's some awesome racing!
