For just about everything else it's not (at least to me). >even if you manage to avoid hearing anything about you still >know it's a recording. No danger of hearing anything about the Daytona 24 in Los Angeles. Even with the Neckcar stars it was damn near invisible. >You want to see it when it's actually > happening...At least I do. Hey, I even Tivoed the friggin' Super Bowl this year. It's the only way to keep on top of things (esp on weekends during the EPL season with multiple games going on at the crack of dawn). Speaking of Tivo, I must return to the previously mentioned game and see what all the Janet Jackson fuss was about. Wardrobe Malfunction? Houston, we have a problem....

And of course, SPEED must have set a new record for commercial breaks and other bullshit. I will say this, I've never really had a problem with NASCAR drivers, it's more the enterprise and hysteria-commercialism of NASCAR itself (and the fact that near-strictly-oval racing bores the sh.t out of me). I actually always watch the NASCAR road races, and IMO the NASCAR folk who drove in the Rolex acquitted themselves rather well - Stewart and Earnhardt, Jr. were running plenty of very hot laps. And by now most of us know what Jeff Gordon was able to acquit himself rather ably in JP Montoya's Williams last year (or whenever that was). > get up at 3 and watch the Rolex 24/Daytona, even if they're running > full-course yellow Yup. Even if the top class cars (DP) perform like something from the late 60's. But, who am I to judge? If it works for NASCAR.... >>get up at 3 and watch the Rolex 24/Daytona, even if they're running >>full-course yellow [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > But, who am I to judge? If it works for NASCAR.... I loved road racing in the late 60s, so it works for me. But it was kind of funny to watch the "creep" of the GT and SGS cars as the DPs seemed to falter at the end (if not just fall apart). And it was odd about all the wheel problems. All in all, I'm looking forward to Homestead!
