"The issue is with coverage. Seldom is stock and ss covered from beginning to end. They usually start at 10, unless Warren was at the National, and then roll up the cameras after the last pro is down the track."

I think I have watched every race this year and while this may have happened years ago I don't feel it is true now. My recollection is that this year coverage typically started before the first car went down the track and lasted until the very last race. This was often after the Pro classes had run. Even if I join late I can rewind to the first car down the track. There was even coverage at St. Louis on Monday.

"Live tv cost 10 million a year and only receives 1 million in subscriptions"

Where do you get these numbers? That is about twice what Mello Yello paid is it not?

"Couple this with live timing that works 50-75% of the time"

I certainly cannot dispute this. It can be a major disappointment.
