Either they just feel bad for me in the same way you feel bad for the kid who always got picked last in school yard sports teams, or dad slipped them a couple $20's. Either way, I'm sorry you all had to see that. :disgusted:

Stuck around an extra hour Friday night to watch it 'live', it's amazing how far the production and presentation have come since the beginning. Chad does a great job presenting and the variety of shots, cars, and people was great overall.

Anyone know how the schedule is going to play out with the new episodes? It's just a generic description on my guide and the website, so I don't know when to expect the new ones..

Call me a bit slow on the uptake but I just realized Dish dropped MAV TV! I scrolled through channels after not finding OUSCI in the DVR.... So irritated now I could cancel pay TV altogether. What a joke!

I could call and gripe but somebody in Manilla or wherever isn't really going to brighten my day.:guns:

I cancelled Dish and got DirecTV for that reason.

That might happen. When did you make the switch?
I just caught it tonight after reading this thread. We only watch the DVR 98% of the time and I have a huge backlog of "car shows" so I was oblivious that MAV was absent.

Made the switch 4-6 weeks ago and very happy.

Only reason i started with directv in 2000 is they were the only ones with speedvision lol, very ironic that there pretty much the only ones with Mavtv...wish it was in Hd

the programming and production are good. they just need to mix it up a bit,,,i still dont miss an episode.

The TX show featured a lot of Mike Dusold and other self supported racers that I thought was a nice touch. They really captured the feel of the show and I don't know how Chad was in so many places at once.

Great job the the show producers for putting together a great series and to optima for organizing a super fun event.

I don't know this for sure but as I understand it -- the "show" is produced independently -- and then must be packaged and sold to "someone" that is willing to pay for it and air it. It's not really a MAV TV production??? It's just that MAV TV was the one willing to air it....

This arrangement (as many shows like this are done) might explain what we consider to be a very limited "marketing campaign". Advertising (marketing) costs a bunch of dough... and someone like ESPN etc probably just doesn't see a huge market for this type of show. OUR hope is that it gains some traction and one of the bigger "networks" picks it up.

With all the Big Red Camaro hoopla ( :) ) I am hoping NBCSN picks it up. Maybe we can make some noise over there.
