| Re: Why I hate NASCAR A NASCAR programming block will air each weeknight from 6:00 to 8:00. and The motorcycle shows are being re-worked and will air in the 10:00 p.m. slot on Tuesday. 'Two Wheel Tuesday' will continue in some form, but the entire day won't be dedicated to motorcycles. There will be racing every night from 10:00 to midnight. No original programming is being removed. What sh1t. no fear, sky is supposed to be getting broadcast rights here to broadcast on the satellite. If that happens, the world racing leagues will be covered and I'll never watch speed again. They just f*ck us too much. I remember 2 years ago when it was speed, and they all types of bike stuff they don't have now. |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR Quote 'Two Wheel Tuesday' will continue in some form, but the entire day won't be dedicated to motorcycles. That sucks. Period. I HATE NASCAR more than the dentist. More than zits on my a$$, more than chainging the oil of my car and getting the wrong filter...TWICE! Red neck bastids. Wait, I grew up in Amish country. Does that make me a 'red neck bastid'? ......(mumbling to self and counting on hands) I hate horses, Amish, Nascar, Mil's Best Light is tolerable, I do work on my own cars, I have traveled overseas and liked it, college degree, house in subburb, bikes, no pickup truck...yet, the Internet is NOT just for porn and NASCAR memorabilia. (end mumbling and counting. HD returns to group discussion) I have decided that I am NOT a red neck bastid! Thank you. That is all. Sincerely, The Overweight Lover: Heavy-Dee |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR Well, the masses get their way... I thought there was entirely too much NASCAR programming to begin with, but apparently the sheep can't get enough of the hillbilly soap opera. *I knew something like this was bound to happen after FOX bought Speedvision - it actually took longer than I thought it would. The sole purpose for paying for 'digital' cable was for Speed. *No longer... as of August 5th, I will go back to 'regular' cable. What a crock of * |

 | Re: Why I hate NASCAR Here's what kills me... Everytime i'd put it on 2 wheel tuesdays, Nascar would still be on. WTF???. If it's 2 wheel tuesday then don't put on car programming. I'm sure they thought that the 8 hours of nascrap followed by a couple of hours of motorcycle related programming was just too much. jackasses..all of them!!! |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR What I found funny is that they are bragging that it won it's time slot for sports programming. Of course it did, it's up against crap like the WNBA, and Fly F**King on ABC. That's like saying won a fight against a guy with no arms and is in a wheel chair.... |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR I guess nobody realized how many uneducated, sister loving, wife beating racists were out of work and at home filling out Nielson's rating sheets. Each one of those rating sheets are worth 40,000 viewers.

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR I'm still pissed about this. Out of 7 days in the week, I only ask for one day of 'two-wheels' in Speed's programing in addition to watching MotoGP, etc. ONE DAY is what we have. Now, what will we git??........truck racing. WTF? |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR There's an article on amasuperbike.com that hints to OLN (outdoor life network) possibly picking up some bike racing. OLN is currently planning to carry the new Super Motard series and there's something about how they are no longer owned by the same company as Speed so they are free to contest for other series'. Here's a link. At least a little hope. And Motard will be fun to watch in any case. |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR Quote 'Two Wheel Tuesday' will continue in some form, but the entire day won't be dedicated to motorcycles. bullf**king s**t. two wheel tuesday hasn't existed since fox took over the goddamned network. we all knew this day was coming. fox (and fox sports) show nothing but nascrap. i say that we get all willing fireblade.org'ers to call despain every night and voice our opinion. motorcycling is sorely under-represented on wind tunnel (it's full of hillbilly nascrapers right now). all i hear about is the f**king bullshit redneck drama on that f**king show. i think that we might make a difference if motorcycling is represented on the show more often. otherwise, it looks like they might just phase it out. i remember the days when i could watch motogp 500, 250, 125, worldsbk, worldsupersport, amasuperbike, amasuperbike, and maybe the ama forumla xtreme races on a single tuesday. life was great. now we are lucky to see the motogp, and the superbikes. bulls**t. i wan't my f**king coverage. btw, what ever happened to superpole? i remember when they used to show that too... |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR Just now watching Speed. According to 'Greg' we should not believe the 'hype', and although there will be some changes, motorcycle racing will not be going away (completely). Well, we shall see what we shall see, eh? Sounds to me like they have already received a bunch of feedback. Everybody email the shite out of them!!! |

| Re: Why I hate NASCAR Here is my reply/email: Don't even think about jettisoning 2 Wheel Tuesday! I mean, c'mon, don't you think you have enough NASCAR coverage already? I am a member of a Honda CBR forum and you wouldn't believe the attention this potential decision of yours has garnered. Lots of people threatening to cancel their cable subscriptions, etc. Please give us at least ONE night of motorcycle racing on your channel! Sincerely, John |
