word on the street, Speed network is not doing all that great and is possibly going to be morphed into an online network. So in theory no more speed channel. I heard this will happen in AUG. but I could be wrong.

Ouch! I wondered if there was trouble when they announced the F1 divorce.

Thanks for the input.

Fox bought out the speed network.Fox want's to to more stick and ball crap.Most of the show's (on speed)that Bud B. guy is involved with suck anyway.All he wan't is show's w/drama crap.If there is something good on TV,hollywood will screw it up w/drama.

as i said on pt.com

Im not a redneck.. and I know there are more than a few rednecks(respectfully) here at pt.com
but I still wonder wether this show makes our type of builds respectable amongst the other driving oriented crowds.

or does it make somewhat of a mockery of the seriousness most of us put into these old american cars.. the driving, the build quality?.. when was the last time you heard "quality redneck built"

I know I know I know... entertainment.. i get it..

but does it?

It definitely detracts from the top 20% of the builds........IMO

Sadly the mega companies cannot survive on 20%.......

I was hoping "Faster than" would have more substance.

Sadly television has become SO dumbed down IMO that there are very few channels that garner my attention anymore. CNBC for financial, Speed for select events, Golf Channel, and ESPN and Velocity again for select events. Most the major networks programming gets my hackles up.
