2004 SPEEDWAY GRAND PRIX ON SPEED CHANNEL

Speedway! 8:00 p.m. on NBC

"I just saw a commercial during the NASCAR race on NBC advertising "World's Most Amazing Videos" and it showed Kevin Rubio's crash at Costa Mesa Speedway, on the commercial. It's pretty spectacular! I didn't see it in person, but after seeing the clip on TV the crash was wilder than I thought! The show will air at 8:00 p.m. on NBC here on the West Coast tomorrow night (November 15, 1999). "

Do you want More Speedway on T.V.?

"Was watching Speedvision Sunday-25th, the program was the Lost Drive-In series. The movie playing was titled, SideCar Racers, which by the way is shown from time to time on SpeedVision. About 1/2 way through the flick, they show a pretty good segment on some Australian SpeedWay from Vintage 1975 era. Along with a great on board of the 1/2 Mile they are racing at! Didn't catch the credits at the end of the movie to see which team was racing, but they were Professional's. Also noticed, that while on the subject of SpeedVision, the Flat Track Nationals are being covered slightly on ESPN2. Better than ZERO coverage!!! But my point is that the Flat Track Pages have prompted their people to let the Network know that they support the decision to broadcast the Races! Both networks--ESPN & SpeedVision have a FeedBack line open. Maybe under the Plug for SpeedWay G.P. series in the Hot News, you could footnote a message to thank them for at least showing the Series. They like that kinda stuff."

FlatTrack News has just posted the 98' Grand National Dirt Track schedule on ESPN2. The entire TV listings with dates and time have been posted, along with a Web site that is definitely worth taking a look at!!!
