Very cool. Don't think my wife's going to let me hide in front of the computer at that time, but I might be able to sneak a peek.

Re: Yee Hawww!! Or however they say it in Bangkok.

Hard to know why Velocity, Speed, ESPN or NBCSports channel haven't jumped to cover this? It's a no brainer. The format is entertaining whether you're a racing fan or not, virtually made for TV consumption. It's the automotive equivalent of any extreme sporting event. Way more interesting and entertaining than the old IROC series. A better variety of drivers and vehicles.

There must be an obstacle we don't know about here... As there's never been a clear reason why this event has never been picked up.

At least we can view it on our computers.

Leo Parente nearly killed this for me. Luckily Kendall was there to balance Parente's incessant questions and ramblings with real experience and insight... and some of the cheesiest jokes I've heard in a long time.

Totally forgot about this... Internet coverage is always lower budget than broadcast. Sorry to hear it suffered. Wonder if there's a highlight show?

Discovery HD picked up a highlight package from like 08 and 09, but they aired it on a couple month delay. But now that they have the "Velocity" network, they seem to be filling it will a lot of good programming, I wouldn't be surprised if we get it here sooner.
