I checked out the Speed Channel site because I noticed they were filming al weekend. One of the crew said the show was "live"...So I thought I had missed out on the tV coverage because I was there...However the site indicated that it will not air until early next year! Go figure!

I just hope its not chopped up to bad and shown at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. I also hope they list it on the TV schedule. I hate just flipping past the speed channel and just stumbling across it.

I love TiVo. Speed loves to pack these shows with comercials and put them late at night.

i saw two of their reporter/commentators in front of the pits. Female one looked alrite.

Didn't see camera crews by the track though, maybe they were up in higher vantage points. The D1 camera man was right next to the fans, although he only had to cover one set of corners.

It was dopeness

I wish I even got Speed channel, only have cable though. I really want to see the coverage, too, as we could only see a bit from the VIP stands, it'll be nice to see the rest of the track, especially the pit action.

yeah, it's funny...VIP stands were hella convenient to get in and out of the place, and got the closer parking...but the view wasn't actually that good for the JGTC cars, the best place was the opposite end of the track!

Heck, even the temporary seating rite across from the VIP section had a better vantage piont for the d1 action...

hehe.. i didnt get the vip pass, fawk that.. but we did leave the speedway to go out to eat at 4:30, got back at 4:50, and had to run all the way around the dam speedway so we could see the beginning of D1 at 5. hehehhe.

yeah the VIP was kinda shatty if you ask me. Not really worth the 10 bucks, hell if we were VIP shouldn't Tsuchiya have been sitting around us? Ah hell who cares lol, the action was good... i wish i knew that the VIP parking was included with the pass :(, we parked outside the thing in the regular parking...

hehe i got a hug from sunrisa (yokohama girl). It was nice at the VIP section, having my media and staff passes along with the much wanted sticker, I stood along the K-rail in the media photo area during JGTC,XDL,Time attack, and D1GP JPN vs. USA very well worth it. Having vendor parking pass is nice when you can park in vendor row.
