Is FOX presenting in HD? I feel it will not be, and that is a shame.

I just wish Speed had 100% coverage. I'm just wondering who would opt for "Pinks" reruns or Bobsledding over Rolex coverage??

I agree and if they'd do it in HD...
But on the other hand it's good to have sports car racing in big channel, more exposure.

Watching on TV is great but being there is a lot more fun. We will be crewing for TRG and cheering for Andy Lally and the #66 Porsche. Margo helps out with timing and scoring and I fill in wherever they need me.

How much time is Speed actually showing? My cable guide has TBA that far in advance.

I believe Speed is showing just about all of the race except the 1st hour that is on Fox.
