That's really cool If you take more please post em, most of us don't live anywhere NEAR a track

CART used to race in NH but now the closest IRL race for me is almost 5 hours away (Watkins Glen).

I was thinking of you watching that last night Poor Tony Not a good start to the year but it's only the first race. It was GREAT to see so many cars on the grid!!!

Very proud of Marco for controlling himself and looking at the big picture. Only 4 cars on the lead lap though I hate short tracks. Looking forward to St Pete this coming weekend.... which is going to be a great with F1, IRL, and ALMS

We need a World Challenge / Touring Car thread started... what the hell is the matter with Speed that they can not show the freaking races within a day or two of when they take place!

The podium sweep by RealTime was fantastic but it was shown 10 days after the damn race

Could they both to interrupt one damn episode of Pinks and show racing on the Speed channel? Evidently not

Well, if I knew who Will was I'm sure I would be tired of him too

I get so sick of seeing listings Pinks, Whips, and Tuner Vision and their other shows on I don't even check the channel guide very often

They are the best and the worst channel on TV

I did tape some auction coverage last week but have not watched it yet.
