I can't believe how big a sellout SPEED channel is. First it was NASCAR programming 8 hours a day, now it's all these ricer's racing at Road Atlanta. 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. I'm just torn what to watch now. BMWfilms or touring car racing. I think I'll be taking advantage at the lack of Nascar coverage in daytime. 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... The ITRs aren't too far from stock (aside from race prepping of course) but Roger Foo's old Civic had a B16A swap. 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! 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). 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. <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. Not sure if he succeeded, although he claims some chick got him tickets to every major VIR event PLUS Taco Bell at midnight. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> 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. 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. I thoroughly enjoyed the RA and VIR events this weekend.
