Angry WRC on Speed Channel

What's up with Speed Channel these days? Last night, they interrupted WRC to give an update of NASCRAP round-up. First they postposted Day 1 of WRC and then just cut in the middle of Day 2.. WTF

Speed Channel sucks big time!! Who cares about red-neck racing anyways?

The worse is that they probably don't care, as they're the only channel to show European Rally(WRC).

I'm pissed!

Yeah I'm ******* pissed !!!! It's the only round of WRC happening in the Americas and not only do they have it at a shitty time slot ... as if that isn't bad enough they cut into it with Winston Cup *****????? OMG... I can't believe they're so willing to treat WRC fans as second-class citizens. Grrr...

I think anyone who cares about WRC email SpeedTV and say how unsatisfied you are with their service. Also maybe try to contact another sports network to see if they would cover it .. ? It sucks because Speed Channel is the only place to get WRC coverage .. besides listening live to the Rally Radio broadcasts and waiting for the next edition of RallyXS mag to come out.

I feel your pain...I stayed up and watched it...waited the extra half hour for the "roundy round" boys stuff to get off the air....sure its a pain.....HOWEVER....you can catch it on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the next month till the next rally is held in the last week of June.....

there is a sad fact....the speed channel is owned by a company here in america....and rally racing is primarily a eruopean sport...NOT TOTALLY...but the major following is there....and guess who controls the BIG BUCKS here in the states....its the "roundy round" boys....yep...and you can bet your *** the speed channel is watching the bottom line....the almighty dollar...so guess who gets the choice spots??? we it damn sure isn't WRC!!! ..... write them some letters...it certainly can't hurt... what will they do? start airing them at 2 am? go ahead....when I was into watching Austrailian Football and ESPN was carrying it live....I got up and watched the games at anywhere from 2 am to 4 am game start times!!! lol ya just gotta love devoted fans! :{D
