FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

Everyone seems so quiet after the second VIR Superbike race was not televised, not to mention
that the FX race will not be shown, either. Has everyone just given up?

I guess we now know for sure that the CEO of SpeedChannel, no matter how much he says that he
enjoys motorcycle racing, really just stretches the truth when it is convenient to keep
people happy for awhile.

Sounds like the CEOs of a lot of companies. Makes me sick.

Thanks to Roadracing World for keeping me updated on the second race at VIR. God knows SpeedTV couldn’t. Finally a day off of work and no racing (motorcycles that is). They SUCK!

Just wanted to thank you all for the coverage. Too bad we missed Kurtis’ first SB win.

I almost forgot they broadcast motorcycles! They almost have me brainwashed into the NASCAR cult. A matter of fact, I was watching TV last night and totally forgot about Two Wheel Tuesday. Or, should it be called Two Wheel Late Tuesday Night – for an hour after most people go to bed.

I am just fed-up to the point where nothing surprises mean anymore!

I’ll just rely on Roadracing World to post results on the web and read the articles when my issue comes.
