That was great! Thanks for sharing. I am a faithful Wind Tunnel viewer and Dave's sense of humor cracks me up.

9:00pm every sunday night, I'm in front of the TV to hear what Dave Despain, Robin Miller, and Ed Hinton have to talk about... Those three, on the show at the same time - now that's good stuff....

Luv Wind Tunnel!

9p every Sunday night my Tivo records the show so I can watch it commercial free after it is over. Damn Dave has some serious commercial breaks!

ps. it doesn't get much better than Robin speaking freely about the ignorance in US open wheel racing.

I liked the old Speed Channel better. I got to see all types of racing back then from Touring Car To F1 to offshore boat racing.

I wouldn't say plenty.....it's few and far between compared to Speedvision.

NA$CAR suck$, the France family suck$, the Rolex and Daytona Prototype$ $uck....but apart from that, I have no strong feelings or opinion.

I guess plenty is being subjective. Yes I wish there were more. But I guess we'll take what we can get.

Tell us how you really feel

The France family turned Nascar into the hillbilly cousin of professional wrestling.

When they took away WRC, that's what made me the saddest.

You would think the way the France family has their fingers in everything NASCAR that they would just start their own cable channel. They certainly have the a$$ets to do it.

That way the rest of us can go back to watching SPEED VISION in peace!!

If Despain doesn't want to hear comments, he shouldn't have a call-in show. If he only wants questions/comments on certain subjects, he should hire a screener.

What I don't want is a call in show complaining about call ins.
