That sucks. I enjoy the lites more than the SX class. I hope they have a review.

Think about the lap times and do some math buddy. It's always a 2.5 - 3 hour show. This one is 2.5 and they're fitting in everything they can.

They showed a min. of highlights from the heats and then didn't even show the results. Are you kidding me!

Unfortunately Supercross isn't even a speck of what NASCAR is as far as $$$. It's the way the world works...

And as far as the BS filler... Again $$$.. they're making as much as they can from "average" fans.

The heat races and 250 main was delayed by about 10 to 20 minutes. It varied. The 450 main was live though.

Nice to see long lap times, but timed mains would eliminate the difference from stadium to stadium and would allow for easier tv scheduling

And agree with those above, I had no idea if Dungey even made the final, at least show the results of the heats/LCQ if you are not going to show it...

I normally would tell you guys to stfu and quit whining about the coverage but I'm sorry to say i agree with you this time. Why on earth would they put this broadcast together like they did?

On the bright side was that the mains we actually LIVE this time, and not 10 minute delayed like every other televised race this season.

The lap times were well over a minute. Heat races were getting close to the 9-minute mark. It woulda made for a long show. I respect the decision, that way we saw 2 long heat races and then the 2 longer than usual mains.

They had no problem in years past showing the entire show. Why all of a sudden this year there are time constraints?

After they showed us the Lites highlights, why not at least show us the top 9?Angry

Edit: I could understand the condensed show if this was on CBS, NBC, etc.......but this was on SPEED TV (your motor racing network). What was so important that was on after the race? A rebroadcast of the race.

On a positive note the camera work was worlds better than any other round so far this year. They actually filmed some of it from .......get this......ground level.
