Re: [ST] SpeedTV and TWT



I would love to see more motorcycle racing on Speed Channel.
I like NASCAR, also IRL, Champ Car, and others.
I think having more racing, of any kind, on Speed is a good thing. Success by any racing helps all the other kinds, a little bit.

I don't like the "reality" shows on Speed or any other channel. TX Hard tails, pimp my whatever, Pinks, .... all are a waste of a good chance to show racing.

Ratings drive the TV schedule. 6 NASCAR truck shows and a World Of Outlaws race had better ratings then the Laguna Seca MotoGP. That means more motorcycle racing is going to be slow to come.

But it would be nice to see even 25% of the ads for Texas Hard Tails as ads for a motorcycle race.

Reading the bitching about NASCRAP gets old fast.
