Really Speed????

The majority of us avoid the race results, stay off the internet to watch the race semi "live". Then you scoll the 450 results across the bottom during the 250 telecast, even though the 450 race is on afterwards. Such an epic fail. So goddamn pissed off right now.

My channel says SX Lites, but they're showing a bunch of truck bullshit. WTF?

Will you buy some because I bet your box is empty from the complaining you yourself are now doing?

It's unprofessional. It shows no regard for their viewers interest. Some would say it makes them not want to watch Speed and instead watch it even later on Fuel as to not have a chance of ruining their viewing experience. The 450 race will have aired by then and the results won't be ruined. One of those people will be me. Glad my roommate's were hogging the TV when the 250 race was on. Now I can watch it in peace.

Not to mention whoever is responsible for the programming guide miscue that caused numerous people's DVR's to miss the recording. Or the people who don't have Fuel to catch the re air tonight. Or the ones who got to watch TORC racing instead. This is why we bitch about having Live racing on the same channel. Were the ratings for Barrett Jackson Auction BETTER than what Supercross would have been last night?

At least you guys saw the race. Speed had the listing screwed up an unfortunately I trusted my DVR for the recording which was an epic fail. Thanks Speed for not correcting the listing or whoever is in charge of that crap.

not a fan of these delayed broadcasts...also not a fan of Ralph telling me about Canards injury 42 times in 15 minutes. Jesus ralph...you don't need to pound that home every breath. I thnk most got it the first 5 times.

Here's my speed gripe-

I just watched the 450's on CBS...... thinking i was recording the lites/250's over on speed....

HAHAHA on me says speed!!!!! or maybe it a directv thing... but what was listed as "AMA Supercross Lites" on speed at noon CST, was actually some F'n truck race! So i missed the lites race, and what's recorded is off-road trucks........

+1. I started to watch the lites recording, and the first thing I see is "congrats to Eli Tomac on his 3rd straight win". THen the truck racing program started. Awesome...

I have watched every race this year and it didn't cost me a penny thanks to Speed Channel.

Same here--DTV?

The 250s are supposed to replay tonight on Fuel at 7 pm CST (I think that's the time). The Phoenix SX is on Fuel followed by A2 250s.

Moving the 250 race up to noon was a last minute decision made to appease those who bitched about them being on at the same time. I saw earlier today on here that it was moved, rebooted my DirecTV and my guide showed the updated time slot.

Sorry, but if your guide isn't updating nightly, it's your own fault.

Mine was right before they fixed it though. Huh

I couldn't believe it when I saw the crawl. So pissed.

I made o point of checking the RacerX announcement yesterday about the time change on Speed. I then went and recorded whatever it showed for Noon, regardless of the SX being shown at 1pm.

I thought to myself, "If the race comes on at noon, there will be a bunch of pissed off people at Vital." I was right.

Got us too. Massive effort by me to stay off the internet for that long waiting for the delayed telecast and i mean massive lol. I only really saw Barcia DNF go across the screen but convinced myself it was something non related because surely that wouldn't be the 450 results. Turns out it was. Glad I looked away for the first part of it at least. Crazy

I was pissed about that too. Thankfully I looked down and all I saw was Millsaps still in the points lead. Nothing more. After that, I avoided the bottom of the screen.

I recorded the LAST SENTENCE of the 250 broadcast. JUST long enough for Shitshean to congratulate the winner.
