  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Two wheel racing??

I watch it when I can.
I've considered converting my Sportster into a drag bike and letting my sons compete in the Flash Races. It's just hard to find time right now.

Ya we need more coverage or something. Speed seems to cater to Nascar and not much of anything else.

I watch

Motogp
AMA supercross
AMA Roadracing
WSBK

I actually got my girlfriend into it. I didn't that would ever happen. Maybe I should keep her.:wink:

I watch every week. motogp, ama, supersport. Wish they would shopw some in Hd!!!! glad they got rid of Gregs garage, but I dont like the stunter show they replaced it with. I wish I could shred like the moto gp guys but I am happy draggin knees at the local track days ;)

I like 4 wheel stuff as well but only F1, champcar, or the cmra stuff.

I'm a motogp fan, although I haven't had a chance to catch up to the start of this season yet. I bought a "pass" to the Motogp site last year, and saw all of the races live. I may just go for the cheaper option this year, and watch replays.

I used to go to the track about once a month and did some club racing, but since I bought my house last year I haven't been to the track in a little over a year. I'm trying to get back into it now.

Those guys can rip around the track they are amazing. I am waiting for two wheel racing in HD, but think its going to have problems. My buddy has Comcast HD and we have noticed that in movies with alot of action there is some pixelation that kinda ruins the movie.I have noticed this with my DirecTv HD too.

The only other show worth watching besides the racing is Two wheel tuesdays.

I can't wait for the next WSBK race.

Well, they do have Nascar in HD without any issues that I have seen. I just don't know what US channel would carry MotoGP or AMA/WSBK/etc (or even F1 for argument's sake) in HD. I don't know if Speed has the budget to bring that in via HD, and even if they did, too much of their time is devoted to Nascar.

I think I'll tune into a Nascar race to see how it looks but I believe your right Nascar looks fine. It would probably look fine with motorcycle racing too.

They need to make a channel just for two wheels. I have heard from older people that have been watching motorcycle racing longer than me that SPEED used to be all motorcycles. I guess money talks.
