| Help Keep Open Wheel On Speed TV |
|
Hello Race Fans,
I'd like to ask every Open Wheel fan to contact SPEED TV and encourage them to
include more video clips of Sprint Cars and Midgets to their Speed Report
Program.
As most of you know, Speed Report dedicates a segment of their program to non-NASCAR
racing. Over the past year or so, the time allowed for Sprint Cars (both
Winged and Non-Wing) and Midgets has decreased.
Raceway Video's Jeff Kristensen, who records the USAC/CRA events, has clips
ready to air after every race. In addition to the TV Clips, he shares weekly
clips (for free) on his website- www.racewayvideo.com.
Other Sprint Car and Midgets videographers are more than happy to supply clips
to SPEED TV.
However, the producers of Speed Report generally choose not to air Short Track
Open Wheel Racing unless they need to fill time. Any clips aired on programs
such as Speed Report, or the Sunshine Network's RaceScene (which is now
cancelled) are a great way to promote Open Wheel Racing- it's drivers, teams,
tracks, sponsors, and events. Since the TV coverage is not as hoped, USAC has
chosen not to renew Raceway Video's deal with USAC/CRA.
So, I'm asking for help to promote the sport we love by contacting SPEED TV
and in the process helping a friend who has done a lot for the sport. This
also affects every Sprint Car, Midget, and Open Wheel team across the world.
Let your voice be heard. Those in charge of programming need to listen to
their subscribers and fan base. SPEED TV's Feedback Page is at http://www.speedtv.com/feedback/.
Just fill out the online form and click submit.
If anyone knows of an email address to contact, please let us know.
Thanks, Lance Jennings - SCRAFAN.COM - lance@scrafan.com
