Hey folks, this is an addendum to a previous thread by Lance Jennings, in which he implores you all to contact SPEED and submit a request to their online feedback forum.
You see, this does not effect just USAC, it effects the World of Outlaws, the All-Stars, ASCS, et all. This is a prejudice against sprint car and midget racing at large, and in order to have any hope of seeing short track racing highlights, we must ban together and effect change. Even if you don't watch the show with any regularity, it is still up to all of us to support the sport we love by speaking out.
Here is Lance's post again, just substitute his use of the words "USAC/CRA" for "sprint car racing" by-and-large:

Hello Race Fans,
I'd like to ask all of the visitors of this Message Board to contact SPEED TV and encourage them to include more video clips of the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars to their Speed Report Program.
As most of you know, Speed Report dedicates a segment of their program to non-NASCAR racing. Over the past year or so, the time allowed for Sprint Cars (both Winged and Non-Wing) has decreased.
Raceway Video's Jeff Kristensen, who records the USAC/CRA events, has clips ready to air after every race. In addition to the TV Clips, he shares weekly clips (for free) on his website- www.racewayvideo.com. However, the producers of Speed Report generally choose not to air Sprint Cars unless they need to fill time.
Any clips aired on programs such as Speed Report, or the Sunshine Network's RaceScene (which is now cancelled) are a great way to promote USAC/CRA- it's drivers, teams, tracks, sponsors, and events.
Since the TV coverage is not as hoped, USAC has chosen not to renew Raceway Video's deal with USAC/CRA. Now, events like Garrett Hansen's first win at Perris, your favorite driver's victory, and great charges to the front are in danger of not being recorded or available for purchase.
So, I'm asking for help to promote the sport we love by contacting SPEED TV and in the process helping a friend who has done a lot for Sprint Car Racing.
Let your voice be heard. Those in charge of programming need to listen to their subscribers and fan base.
SPEED TV's Feedback Page is at http://www.speedtv.com/feedback/. Just fill out the online form and click submit.
If anyone knows of an email address to contact, please let us know.
Thanks,
Lance Jennings - SCRAFAN.COM - [email protected]
