Default 24 Hours of Daytona

Just a heads up that Corvette Racing is about to start the new season. Looks like it's on Fox now for a few hours then switches around between FS1 and FS2.

Yes, FS2, the network rarely seen on any cable carrier . . . maddening.

It's cold @ Daytona today. It's interesting watching them struggle after leaving the pits on cold tires.

You can also get it on IMSA.tv if you spoof your IP address as overseas. I'm using IP Vanish. I wish my carrier had FS2. Hell, I'd pay for the Daytona 24, 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans, but instead, I have to do this nonsense to watch American sports car racing.

Hell, sometimes it's easier to watch WEC than IMSA.

Fox sports go app only works if your cable has fs2. *** does not.

Corvette Racing # 4 had to be towed to the garage for loss of power. It just shut down coming out of NASCAR Turn 2 and stopped in the middle of the backstretch.

This may not be Corvette's year @ Daytona, after finishing their class 1-2 in 2016.

That's racing.

That being said it's a LOOOOONNNGG race. Anything is possible.

Thankfully, my little hometown cable company, Antietam Cable in Hagerstown MD, added FS2 to their channels. Used to be in an extra cost Sports Package but now it is part of the basic cable channels. Finally!

I'm watching FS 2 now. How do those guys do that broadcast for 24+ hours? That's amazing. You watch that race for like 90 minutes and it starts to dawn on you how tough those 12-24 hour races must be on drivers, crews, gear, broadcasters - hell, it would be hard to be a spectator at one of those races.

Great, meanwhile Comcast/XFINITY in the DC metro area doesn't carry FS2 and is now broadcasting dirt bike racing on FS1, followed by UFC fights the rest the night followed by FA Cup Soccer tomorrow morning.
