I would love to see another racing channel on the tube. Speed is nothing but CrapCar now with very little road racing. Hopefully the channel will be carried by Comcast - my local provider.. Does anyone have an idea of a launch date - I have not seen any advertising yet.

Same here. I have Comcast as well.

If this channel becomes too successful, NASCAR will probably buy it.

I'd like to see this channel make it onto my Comcast lineup.

NASCAR is boring unless they are on the road courses or at Dega or Daytona.

If Jim Liberatore is somehow connected with TRN then you can sign me
up now, no questions asked.

There is a survey on the TRN home page
Would you be willing to:

Switch from your current cable or satellite provider to the cable or
satellite provider that carries The Racing Network, OR add the
additional cable or satellite provider in order to watch The Racing
Network?
(One response per household, please)

[Yes, I would Switch] . [No, thank you]

Lot of discussion on the TRN forum. Looks like they are making progress, albeit slow.

After the Pinks and Unique Whips marathon on SPEED, I'm pretty much done with SPEED. I didn't watch any of it, but kept looking to see if ANYTHING different was on. No luck!

I'd love to see the Aussie Touring Car races again!

I would LOVE a non-nascar channel.


But not enough to go back to cable. Not a chance. Then I'd have to buy a seperate TIVO to record it.

I would love something other than Speed (NASCAR) Channel. I liked it better when it was Speedvision (made more sense).

However I don't think I'd swap my DirectTV etc. just go get it. If I could ad it I would.

I've found myself watching TLC and Discovery to get my car fix via the shows like RIDES and Overhaulin' etc.

Same here. But then again I live too far out in the country we dont have cable. SO DirectTV or DishNetwork at the only two choices

I'd like to see the British touring car also. The best racing is when they can turn other directions besides left.
