What everyone already said...
Other than F1 & ALMS, Speed sucks! -Waiting for some Supercups series yearly review.
I'm enjoying more of HDT with WRC(cool!!!!) and other european vintage racing series that goes all over the famous tracks like Spa,NRing,etc...

How on earth can the cocknozzles who run Speed TV justify a show about fat drama-queen jackasses and their tow trucks as motorsports related????????????

Speed announced last Wednesday that they signed a 3 year deal to televise the Australian V8 Supercars. They will show the last(?) race of the 2009 season on Sunday December 1pm EST and every race next year. This is my favorite series to watch both for the close racing and performance of the cars.
Perhaps someone at Speed is listening?

No, I'm sure it was economics.

I honestly would rather Speed not get the rights to show good race programming at this point, I would love to see HDT get more and more. Speed will just put it on at 3:00AM after the 10 hrs of Wrecked. Although I DVR almost everything now I like knowing that there's a chance of something good when I surf to HD Theatre. I think the only reason Speed is buying what they are is so HDT doesn't get it. They don't give a about any true race fans anymore!

The only racing they show now is Nascar re-runs at noon when we're all working. In the winter is when we need our fix the most. I would rather watch an old race of nearly any kind of racing (including Nascar) than the trash they put on.

The other thing I don't like is edited races. I find that insulting as a viewer for some reason.
