people were no longer showing up to the race on saturday, staying in town and watching it from their campers/homes etc. since then, the crowds have at least looked bigger.

That was always cappi and the fair boards blanket response. but I never noticed the crowds any smaller the years it was live.
I believe it has more to do with money up front or under the table wanted from all parties involved. and WRG wanting a slice of the pie.

I think it had a lot to do with the Lasoski fight in the pits, that was live, and with language. Doesn't look good for the sport, plus it is a very large block of time to block off on the channel.

TV loves stuff like drama. If not, they just would've cut to something else and not replay it a bunch of times.

Lasoski watched from the HoF suites.
I'll boycott the Speed broadcast since it isn't live. I don't really care about the reasons why it isn't done live.

Yeah I would hate to block off three hours of AMA motorcycle racing or 3 hours of grand puke or whatever the hell speed shows nowadays. I am a gear head and racing enthusiast but I watch maybe .5 hrs of SPEED channel a week, Thats just sad.
