BRING NON-NASCAR MOTORSPORTS BACK TO SPEED CHANNEL!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() [/SIZE] We are petitioning SpeedTV and Fox Cable to resurrect programming now either lost completely, programming which is broadcast off-hours (11pm-5am), or programming which could be extended or increased. This programming includes: -Formula One -World Rally -Grand Prix and Circuit Racing -SCCA Racing -Motorcycle Racing -Dakar Rally Speed Channel is flooded with NASCAR and dumb reality shows that rerun and rerun and rerun. Lets get some great sports on TV again! WE NEED 65,000 SIGNATURES so please tell your friends! ** ** The reason why this is so crucial to motorsports is that if media coverage is discontinued teams will lose sponsors! Without sponsors teams will not be able to afford to compete! Rally is already in great need of volunteers to work events. Money is tight and entry fees will continue to rise. Please save this sport by signing the petition for more media coverage! And it's just way cool to be able to see the WRC on TV! Please do it for Travis Pastrana, Stig Blomqvist, Patrick Richard, and if no one else, then do it for me! ** ** PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION! ![]() |

The problem rally is having right now is finding offroads to race on. Up here in Maine we lost 60% of our special stages due to sold property and a lack of understanding of the sport. We're trying to get this even as public as possible. The locals love the events but it's the big logging companies who are based out of state who need to sign the permission letters for us to race.
So, my point is that no the sport itself won't die out but we've had to cancel a lot of races in north america so far because of a lack of support. SPREAD THE WORD! I work at NAPA in maine and I tell as many people as are willing to hear. I keep my "Maine Forest Rally" plaque in my front car window so people will ask me about it. I think I'll make a bunch of bumper stickers and give them out at NAPA. I emailed the author of the petition to get more information such as why SpeedTV dropped the WRC and what it will take to get it back on the air. I'm awaiting his response. As soon as I hear I will post the answers. |
