I can't believe how big a &nbsp;sellout SPEED channel is. &nbsp;First it was NASCAR programming 8 hours a day, now it's all these ricer's racing at Road Atlanta. &nbsp;A bunch of integra's and protege's plastered with stickers, wings, and open exhausts. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

OK so I'm being sarcastic. &nbsp;I'm just torn what to watch now. &nbsp;BMWfilms or touring car racing. &nbsp;I think I'll be taking advantage at the lack of Nascar coverage in daytime. &nbsp;wow, I'm amazeded to see the protege's keeping up with the integra's.

They allow different cars different levels of engine mods to keep the field even... &nbsp;The ITRs aren't too far from stock (aside from race prepping of course) but Roger Foo's old Civic had a B16A swap. &nbsp;It's great racing though.

What about Roger Foo's new Protoge? Bling Bling y()! Did any one ever verify our innkeeper west sighting of mr Foo?

Those Proteges are FAST! &nbsp;Yes, the ITRs run slow, but Roger has said that his Prot is considerably faster than his old hatch (which as we all know is not a slow car). &nbsp;Alslo agreed that the ITRs aren't as modded, plus, by this point in the season they are carrying a lot of lead for winning (weight reward for winning a race) - iirc, the RTR ITRs are both carrying the max load. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh2.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh2:'>

Otherwise, Foo admitted that he had changed his sponsorship to Stoopid Street and was pimin' the town looking for high-school honies. &nbsp;Not sure if he succeeded, although he claims some chick got him tickets to every major VIR event PLUS Taco Bell at midnight. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> &nbsp;Something about her daddy built that place...

Like anything, NASCAR is cool in moderation...but this 24/7 on multiple channels crap is frikkin' annoying. &nbsp;I miss the old SpeedVision...but at least Speed Channel isn't completely "NASCARvision" like I had originally feared when the changeover was first made. &nbsp;I thoroughly enjoyed the RA and VIR events this weekend.
