Yeah.. I cancelled my cable right after Fox picked up Speed and it bacame ALL NASCRAP, ALL THE TIME. I hear you... I hear you... I'm offended they still call it TWT.. there is 1 hour of racing and 2 30-min infomercials thingly disguised as 'shows'. Worhless.
I hear the OLN (or something like that) is picking up most of the bike racing. There is just something about a maching that can hurl a human down the track at 200 MPH+ without any thing between the human and anything else except about 4mm of leather and a polycarbonite brain-bucket.
The skill required to keep a machine making inexcess of 220 HP hooked up through a single 190mm tire while grinding down the pegs is just facinating.
