I caught the C&D article. The power boats on the rivers in Europe
and the air races are just some of the coverage I miss from the
SPEED CHANNEL days.

B-J started out with European cars of Alain's expertise and the market has now moved to muscle cars. That's why they hired on guys like Steve Magnante from Hot Rod Magazine and Brock Yates.
I miss the old Speed Channel too. I could do with a LOT less NASCAR coverage. That's why I get so pissed off about NASCAR. I get mad because it's displacing a lot of the racing that I love to watch. I didn't have a problem when NASCAR was predominantly on TNT because I never watched TNT.

A lady I was kinda dating before mycurrent wife of 15 months asked what my three most favorite pieces of music were?
I said, " Do you REALLY want to know?" She said, " Of course"
I said, OK
number 3 : The Scream of a Ferrari V12 engine at 18,000 rpms
NUmber 2: The deep rumble of the small bock chevy at 6000 rpms with open exhaust flying by.
and Number 1: Cranking over the small block chevy with open exhaust.
Music to my heart and ears.

BTW.. Have you ever heard a Yamaha V-Max with aftermarket pipes? It sounds just like a small block Chevy with a cam in it. I never liked the bike nearly as much as the sound of it with open pipes.

Talk about speed (close to 300MPH), and pulling G's (+10/-7), those guys are insane!

We'd also watch the off shore races, but we'd only see them once or twice maybe at the beginning and end of the race. They start out at the Detroit River and head up Lake St. Clair. Off Shore boats aren't really a very good spectator sport unless you're in a helicopter or can run along side them.
