I don't see it as any big loss. The programming aside from Gearz was very weak. I'm not a Nascar fan so 80% of the air time was a turn off anyway. Kind of a shame. Speedvision at one time was the only game in town.

The Nashville Network. Yep, I remember that one as a kid.

I'm just like most of you guys, Speed was done long ago when they became NASCAR mainly. I'd rather see other forms of racing.

I think growing needs and masses will dictate the demand for a full time motorsports channel/network. Specially through winter when theres no racing on or to go to and our garages are sub-zero, you'd think that marketing was aware of that.

With "on demand" everything is only a few years away, my spectulation is investors are afraid to invest heavilly in this. When the CEO knows the product, can the product move forward? in other words, if somebody inour world knew the market we share, the industry which employ's 100' of thousands, could something be made? I guess only time will tell....

Anybody in the industry share any thoughts?
How about our friends overr at V8tv?
