****pasted from TVRACER*******

thats not a good thing that speed is not having it on its schedule at the moment

[Bruce Boman]

From an email reply I just received from SpeedTV Programming dept –

“That program has been postponed indefinitely because of production problems inherent in the race recording. It is unlikely it will be televised.”

🙁

Too bad for us….again…..I don’t know how many years SKUSA has said that that “xxx” race would be on TV somewhere and it never happened. 😕
To be honest with ya, I would just be happy if they (production company X) released it to video or DVD on a consistent basis like the motoX or Xgames events like half pipe or BMX.

Instead of promising me and everyone in Karting that it will be on SpeedTV and not delivering they could just put it in our hands and let us hand them a Jack$on for their trouble. God knows they wouldn?t sell like Girls Gone Wild but they would sell. Somebody buy me a G@& D@*% camera and I’ll do it. 😡

I don’t know about you but I would much rather have a DVD that I could show to my mom and grandparents whenever I wanted rather than have a hollow promise of a televised race. In the grand scheme of things TV coverage for karting don?t mean squat to racers anyway, club or pro.

SuperNats will be shown sometime in February……

[Marc Elliott]

Ok, now i am confused, it says feb now, lets hope so

[Bruce Boman]

I’m confused too. Just hit the schedule for everyday in Feb I didn’t see the Klein SuperNats listed and any of the 29 days. Did see they are re-running the 3 Stars of Tomorrows races, the Sonoma and Moran races on Feb 12. But no SuperNats, maybe I overlooked it what day did you see it listed.

I almost have to believe the the email I got the other day from SpeedTV as quoted below:

Comments: In late December I asked you folks about the Klein Tools
SuperNationals 7 and when you would air the coverage. You replied Jan 29
at 7:00 PM.

I see on the online schedule that spot is now Dakar Rally highlights.

What gives?

Will we ever see the SuperNats 7 coverage?

Sure would be nice to see more karting events on Speed.

PLEASE AIR SUPERNATS 7!!!!!!!!

This on the SKUSA site this morning (January 30, 2004 09:27 AM)

a paragraph in the article by Don Janowski

SKUSA Unveils New Era

“The SuperNats on TV; we?ve been notified that a problem in production/editing has caused the show to be delayed, but that a new air date has been set. When we receive this new date, Matt Fink will announce it on the website. SKUSA has invested a significant amount in this production, and it will air.”
