I know some folks knock the TV format -- showing the second moto in the hour we have -- and moving to Saturdays and that's understandable. (We really hope to expand this next year with a two-hour show to show both classes.) But the highlights reels that have been going out on sites on Sunday and Monday, plus being a part of the Speed Report pretty much every Sunday night, has been a good step forward. There's lots more to come....

... In the meantime I am headed to Denny's!

I wasn't sure about the Saturday format, but after Millville I really like it.

We got home Sunday morning. Didn't rush out of the track in never ending traffic, had the day to get things cleaned up and put away, and actually had a minute to sit down and relax.

I don't know what it's done for the promoters as far as turn out numbers, but let's hope people can go along with some of the changes coming...

Good luck DC, and have a good week at Loretta's.

It made for a smooth AM program to boot. I like the new format. It was much more relaxing.

I am loving Saturday nights now. Just wish we could get the 250 races sooner.

This one-day Saturday thing has really messed up my MotoDream results.


Just had to get that off my chest. Wink


Keep up the good work DC, two thumbs up.


BTW, any chance you can get Southwick moved back to June? August is a real bad month for me. WinkWink

Arby's has a similar thing going with the TV monitors in their recently remodled restaurants. The video content seemed to be produced specifically for Arby's use with some racing footgae contibuted by the Speed Channel. I caught highlights of the Indianapolis SX race a few months ago.

I attended Freestone, Red Bud and Millville, this season.

I practiced(Thurs) and raced (Fri), at the Millville and Red Bud amateur days, for the past three years, so I see no difference, except getting home on Sunday instead of Monday. The race days and practice days are the same, except Red Bud added a Sunday am race option!

When we are home the computer and tv coverage are awesome!

Keep it up DC, and keep the tweeks going! Thanks!!

Couple of us from the Fire Department went over to Denny's for late night coffee and BS about things. If you haven't been a Denny's within the past month (it seems) they have revamped the restaurant for the late night crowd. Branding with Alt bands and large 42" monitors all over the restaurant. On these monitors seems to be Denny's branded media. The view shows weather, an advertisement and a video feed. The feed changes every couple minutes. From a VH1 style with a music video, to Generation X style sports. Surfing, Skate and yes MX.

So Im sitting there and up comes last weekends race highlights. I think this is a pretty good sign that MX is being delivered mainstream to one of the largest restaurant chains across the US. The video clip looked a lot like the clip on the front of Vital, two minute highlight of both classes; its a bonus for sponsors and new viewers.

I guess what I am getting at is, its pretty cool to have a coffee and catch up on MX if you were traveling across the states.
awesome tiki...i haven't been to a denys in a long time but i will now. thanks.

btw...how is the trout fishing looking around town?

Fantastic Bobby. With the a summer hatch happening the trout are hungry. Late night canal fishing has been nice. Still a little warm. Monsoon cools it down to 95 in the afternoon. Supposed to be 105 today. Yeah I realize whom I am saying it's hot to...

In the canal not to big. 1lb. Tasty morsels. I have been on crawdad kick. I have a trap I have yet to set, but they sound good. Now up at the Arcularius Ranch they grow them 5 and 6 pounders. You have to be a mucky muck fly fisherman to get at those. There use to be a bitchen spot on the walker river at my friends place, but that sold. Now all guided fish tours.

Hey you guys, thanks for all of your support. Next time you stop in, feel free to mention my name. That Grand Slam stuff, my idea.
