I just got done watching the year in review show for the Jetti TDI cup. I really liked it. It was presented in a documentary type format. I'd like to go back and watch all the races now that I know something about the drivers.

Did anyone see the 2009 Dakar Rally preview on today's Speed Report? I haven't heard anything that they will be showing the endurance rally race. It has been moved to South America for 2009. Will Versus cover the race?

I was wondering if they were ever going to show any more road racing this year.

I think the Grand AM year in review is on today also.

On 12/31/2008 watch Speed at 1 pm for the T1 Runoffs race. The cost to be competitive just went up about $200k.

Bimota Guy

It costs $200k not to hit a car suddenly slowing in front of you while leading the race?
