    I don't know how many have seen their local listing for this Sunday when the Rally Monte Carlo should be on. Well its not. Apparently speedtv is droping a lot of good racing for 'Nascrap'. There is a petition going around. http://www.petitiononline.com/SpdTV/. I don't know about anyone else, but I am really upset about their decision. Now I have no reason to ever watch speed again. Maybe we can change this...

    signed, and i am also one who went with a higher tier to get SPEED.

    I know Nascar is huge in the us. But WRC, SCCA and F1 is what makes SPEED my fav. channel. If i want to watch nascar i'll tune into FOX on sundays. I'll be really pissed if SPEED doesn't reconsider. Just like everything else in America, start out with a really great product and then it gets whored out and turns into a shell of what it made it great. Typical corp. bullshit that's fucking up every thing!!! :mad: :evil: :grr:

    F speed channel, they can suck one, all they ever put on that station is Nascar this and that, next they'll have a Nascar shopping hour like QVC. I would like to see Dale Jr. flying through the woods in 6th gear that would be a hoot.... he would still be falling down the side of a mtn. F1 & WRC is the only reason to watch that station.

    I signed and agree to everything you guys have mentioned. I also signed the petition last year, but that did nothing to get more WRC and F1 Coverage.

    The same thing has already happened to motorcycle coverage. Bikes used to get most of Tuesday and a good bit of the weekends. Now bikes are **lucky** to get 3 hrs Tuesday and 3 hrs over the weekend on Speed a.k.a. the Nascar Network. And there was much pissing and moaning in the national mags to prevent it too. I'll sign, but I'm getting close to going basic cable... :(

    really, it's times like this when i'm not sure if i should be more disgusted with the corporation or society (since the nielsen families ultimately decide what stays on and what doesn't)

    Don't forget to goto the speed channel webstie and goto the "feedback section" and also let them know through there.

    I was woundering why the WRC wasn't coming on anymore, now I know. Thanks for the link, I did sign it. In order to show our support for nascar, goto www.fastwrx.com and look at the nascar tee shirt. I'll be getting one or maybe even two!! Ha Ha

    well I cant see WRC on for much longer anyhow.. i love it death, but manufactures are dropping out so fast every season. Less and Less teams every season it seems, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think its Speed's fault for dropping it.. the series itself seems to be struggling these days.

    But yes I'll sign, they need to carry it.

    /signed... anyone got any idea on a source in europe so we can d/l??? A friend of mine moved to Germany last year, and now watches Lost and Survivor on someone's Slingbox connected to a Tivo here. I wonder if I can send her a slingbox and return the favor???
