I am asumming that for $24.95 we will see the A, B (2) and C (2) mains. Why not show all the features? They will already have the tv cameras set up. How cool whould it be to sit in front the TV for 10+ hours of open wheel racing.

Just a thought - can you imagine how much it would cost for over 10 hours of Satellite transmission time?
And while some fans might be willing to pay for all 10 hours, if they were telecast, I'll bet that the high selling price for a 10 hour PPV event would severely limit the number of "buys". Probably to the point where they could not sell enough "buys" to make putting on the show worthwhile.
It seems to me that 5 features will be more than enough for the average fan; and the NASCAR fans buying the show will likely tune out once their favorite "Cup" driver has failed to advance to the C mains.

They are going to repeat the broadcast as soon as the first one is done. Watch it again and you have got your ten hours.

Like the saying goes,"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" (whatever that means LOL.) My point is, us less fortunate fans that can't attend are gettin' to see it LIVE for the first time, and that alone makes me happy while I'm surrounded by 18" of snow. Invite some friends over, split the cost of the PPV, drink some beer, and have some fun! What could be better than that? (besides being there?) After 5 hours of beer drinkin' you'll probably want to pass out anyways........
SUPPORT WILDLIFE, go to a sprint car race!

I have to work. Can someone tape it for me? I asked for the night off and they didn't give it to me. If I hear someone in Cedar Rapids has it on their TV I just might ram my finger down my throat and throw up on my boss so I can go someplace to watch it.

At least you guys in the US have the opportunity of buying the HBO feed .....
Down here in kangaroo land, once the Racin' Boys web broadcast finishes at 7.00pm Saturday night, we are without any coverage at all. Of anything ....
As big as your country is, and I love it, there are race fans in other parts of the globe that would at least like to hear it. It's great to sell the exclusive rights to one organisation, but make it one that has worldwide links please.
Maybe as a last resort someone on Hoseheads can balance a laptop computer between their beer and pizza whilst watching HBO and post some regular updates on here.
Or perhaps ASQ and / or Stubb can ring me from the track with news every 10 minutes!!!!
PS. Schatz took another $20 large out of the country again tonight.

Thanks Mike .....
There is a (cell) phone number in my profile, but your kind offer isn't necessary.
I was hoping that someone would volunteer how to pick up HBO via a Taiwanese website or something sinister like that!!
