The Speed channel has stepped up a notch in my book.

Yesterday just wasn't a very good day. I got home and wanted to go to sleep. I woke up at about seven that night and turned the T.V. to Speed expecting to see NASCAR. To my wonder something else was on. A show called Fifth Gear was on. I don't think that most people on the forums outside of Europe will know what show I'm talking about, but to say the least I was very happy. I had been downloading episodes off the net since I couldn't watch it. Now it is being syndicated on Speed at 7 p.m. mountain time on Mondays.

Now we just need them to start syndicating Top Gear as well. Just thought some of you might want to know.

Re: The Speed channel has stepped up a notch in my book.

I saw a commerical for 5th gear, but it wasn't actually on when I was watching TV. Anyway the point I'm trying to make is that Nascar sucks.

See, I don't mind NASCAR so much, it does deserve coverage just not the gobs of coverage it has been getting. I was starting to call Speed NASCAR television since that is what is on pretty much every damn time I tune it there. Seeing Fifth Gear is a small glimmer of hope that more shows like this will make it to speed and I can only hope that there will be equal coverage for all forms of motor sports.

Re: The Speed channel has stepped up a notch in my book.

hey...speed is the only channel (around here anyways) that covers 24 Hours of Le Mans. any station that airs all 24 hrs. is worth keeping in my book
