apparently you need some type of invitation coed for this racing-underground business...
are there any other sources out there that aren't so exclusive?

speed channel absolutely stinks.  they don't play race 2 until tuesday, but they'll play Super Bikes! all weekend long.

I agree 100% but honestly, no DVR, TIVO, VCR, nothing?  ???

Nope :/
No DVR, no TIVO, no nothing...
Just DirecTV, minus the DVR. It's $199 for the DVR... I'd rather buy my DP gel seat.

Email DirecTV a complaint on their website asking why they charge you for a DVR/HD Reciever combo, yet if you switch to Dish Network they'll give it to ya for free.

I did this and got an email back within a couple days offering me a DVR/HD receiver upgrade, with installation (requires a new dish), for no charge. I only had to pay the extra monthly charge associated with those options...like $10/month I believe.  [thumbsup]

I was pissed that they didn't have race 2. Instead they showed AMA Supercross  [roll] followed by Nascar something  [bang]

that link didn't work for me, any ideas?

I can watch the race on worldsbk.com but sometimes the video freezes. If I could download the wmv I wouldn't have that problem.

Combine that with the NASCAR coverage and it's like sushi at a backyard BBQ.  [laugh]
