I didn't catch the show (forgot to set up a season pass on Tivo), but there was no shortage of action from the day...or main event.

How was the show otherwise?

The coverage of the final was good, but that's all we got. I looked at my clock and 28 minutes in all we had seen were summaries of the 2 heats and the LCQ lasting 15-20 seconds each. I was pretty pissed. Luckily the final was great because if we'd had a James or RC runaway it would have been a prety much a bomb.

Like I said on the mean board, if I was a new viewer just checking it out, I'd have moved on about 15 minutes in.

Alot of the fuzz in the first 30 minutes was first race/show of the year junk. Hopefully they will use heat races as filler in subsequent shows.

They had great coverage of the main but, the first twenty minutes sucked.

Agree, the heat coverage was less than subpar. The camera focus was also weak. Just glad to have coverage. I can see poker on ESPN or Fox, at any time of the day!

It was ok, still a few camera cut aways at exactly the time something good was about to happen and still the same kinda mono tone "pingish" calling of the action. They still have not taken a look at MOTO GP or the Canadian nationals for a "how to" lesson. Overall it was much the same as we are used to over the last few years other than the complaints the other guys just told you about..but it sure is nice to have next day broadcast!

No matter how great it is to have it on soon(I listen live anyhow)
I think the coverage is horrible, cameras aren't where they should be, they miss everything, and the heat coverage only gave a few seconds of
coverage, jeez gimme Krista Voda, Emigs comments seem ok, but just like Denny he looks lost when someones still talking and he doesnt know what to do with his emotions til its his turn. I love it when CBS sports does it the camera angles seem real cool, more money I guess?

Anyway for us real fans I think Live webcast is the way, then Tv as our backup to see what they were talkin about...
