I wouldn't count on it, Tim.
I taped it. I could rip it to Video CD for you if you can watch VCDs on your DVD. It was a bit monotonic, but not bad. |

I taped it also. My version is now commercial free! The coverage was bland as Paul says. And why they cut away when the battle raged at the front I will never know!

Hmmm, well, should be a long night. I think I'll volunteer to make that night my shift with the baby.
 Note also, they've resigned through to 2008 for LM coverage, which is even more great news.Tim, while I was happy to see coverage of the LMES event, the broadcast seemed to take all of the excitement from the race. Or perhaps it was just me. |

I thought the best part was the introduction - 15 minutes detailing the birth of a new series.

Sweet! I'll be engineering at an SCCA race, but I'm sure my wife won't mind getting up in the middle of the night to change tapes in the VCR...

Le Mans Canadian GP XXX IRL Bombardier 500 on the High Banks in Texas (always a wild race with an exciting finish!!!!).....XXX and the IRL Shootout falls in that two-hour time window in the evening here in the USA where SPEED is showing one of the minor league stock car curcuits (ASA? ARCA? Hooters Cup???...who CARES!) My butt will have calluses (and I looked it up...that IS the correct spelling) by Monday morning.... |
