Default Rennsport Reunion on Speed Channel

While waiting for the Parade Laps to begin on Saturday I had some time to talk to one of the guys from the Speed Channel. He said they will be broadcasting their coverage of the event on Sunday Nov 13th at 3:00PM (not sure what time zone). And, as usual, that could be preempted, or shown on a completely different day, or month . So don't hold me responsible if it doesn't show up on your TV.

Just thought I would give everyone a head's up. Hopefully the information I received is accurate.

Even though we had to leave halfway through the event it was phenomenal!

And then there's the Fox (Speed, etc.)-Directv border skirmish set for next Tuesday which may send many of us for alternate ways to view.

The speed channel guys shot Saturdays Parade lap group from in between the two rows of cars as we rolled out to the turn 5 track entrance/exit so anyone who did those laps might be on TV in a few weeks.

I blipped the throttle really hard in my Fister Stage III equipped Iris Blue 993 as I passed the camera crew to see if the Stage III's sound as good on TV as they do in person! Hope it makes the segment Darin!!!!

Hey Mike,

Sorry we didn't cross paths at RR. Looks like we will have to wait until Mike's BBQ next year. Assuming, that is, that the event takes place. I don't think Mike would let us down!

It was really dumb, you didn't miss anything. They did nothing to capture the experience, & didn't even really cover the races well. You got no idea the scope of the event, or how many Porsches were really there.
