It was a good show.
It would give me a reason to watch SPEED during the week.
Lord knows there isn't one now other than 2 Wheel Tuesday

I liked this KK quote from the show .... "Champ Car is the North American interpretation of open-wheel racing"

Case closed!

I liked the show. It was a good hour of fast-paced informative and light pieces. I hope this at least gets picked up into a half-hour format for next year.

I really liked the RedLine Roundtable (sounds like the name of a hockey postgame show, IMO) segment. Its amazing that when you put 4 people in a room who know what they're talking about and let them have free reign to say whatever they want (including criticisms), you come out with good television. Speed's Inside Nextel Cup should take notes.

Very well done and entertaining.

Boy does RM have it in for Cheep.

Remember, there is no I in team, but there is in Chip. :rofl:

I think Jimmy looked a little uncomfortable after Robin's comments about Chip.

Regardless about weather he was right or wrong about Chip, I thought the comment was a little classless. Sounds like something the IRL would do. The show should focus on ChampCar, and not (all) the other series.

However there were inevitable references to the IRL, Legge vs Patrick, and I thought those were handled fairly well.

I think Robin knows he can tweak Chip and Chip won't mind. Much. :D

No you don't. Back when it was SpeedVision it was worth having on the dial but now it is all things NASCAR with the occasional break to reload the tape machines, they run an open wheel show. Hell, they don't even replay the F1 race on Sunday evenings anymore. You get a condensed version of WRC and that's about it.

I especially appreciated Robin's segment (plea?) on the need for ChampCar to return to Road America, AND the focus on the Atlantic series and the good sense to build from the ground up. Also, the "Michael knows in his heart that Marco belongs in the Atlantic series." Maybe it's just because I'm "age challenged" but the show can certainly LOSE those stop-action, speeded-up, 0.8 sec. race action segments...the fault of almost every racing movie ever made! A- :)

I pretty much agree with 'Nut, it's a shadow of what SpeedVision was.

But they do still have F1, Rally, MotoGP and some ChampCar content albiet in condensed form. It's not "all napcar all the time" but it's dangerously close.

There was a time I would have gladly paid for it (and did) but now, I would have a REAL hard time wirting the check. Luckily for me, it's included in the package.

That's because they usually replay them in the afternoon.

No doubt. Especially after RM said it for the forth time. JV even said "Enough of that. That comment also got me fired"

It is funny though :D

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the bulk of the rest of race schedule has them broadcastin live in the early morning EST. Those replayed at noon or 1pm usually.

The last three races are either shown live in the afternoon or are on the other side of the planet.

Personally, if I missed the race in the early morning I'd rather see it in the early afternoon than to wait all day dodging the sportsline and internet to see who won on a primetime broadcast.

I appreciated Robin's Road America plea. Don't know if it's a good idea, but I know I'll be there if Champ Car is.

I hear you. I just really liked the prime time broadcast. Get the kids in bed, the wife knew I wouldn't be after any, aaaah, loving . . . Just me and the F1 race. Life was good!!! :D

I thought it was a good show. AJ and Justin are such a hoot. I also liked the round table. I didn't care for the calendar segment too much though. Guess it's good to attract more fans. I think it's only fair that the drivers put out their own calendar. :) Whatcha think ladies? I'd LOVE to be there for that photo shoot.

I prefer to do my race watchin' in the afternoon, get my testosterone fueled watching F1, then chase "any" I can get in the time left in the day.Why squeeze that into the odd corners of the weekend?

Besides, watching the race in the afternoon minimizes the conflict with the missuzes. "You go ahead to Linens and Things without me. I'm just going to have to trust you to pick out the dust sham without me. We'll catch up later with whatever lovely stuff you bring home"

I distinctly remember that part of the purchase agreement was for the former owners to stay out of the auto broadcasting business for 5 years. That should be over pretty soon...any chance of a reincarnation of Speedvision? Anyone?

Would buy a driver only calendar in a heartbeat.

You could really tell that AJ and Justin get along well with each other. I remember reading somewhere that they were roommates, but dont recall if that was only on the road, or at home.
