It was. Speed channel had all kinds of amateur racing mostly under the 'Lucas Oil something or other' as well as WRC, I saw some rallycross, some karting, some Lemons along with a ton of dirt track sprint/midget/late models and trophy trucks. Nobody watched it so they started making crappy 'reality game shows' to try and stay profitable and having at least 2 hours of new NASCAR coverage a day, then NBC/Comcast bought it.

With Speed Channel gone, I no longer know what channel to ask the bartender to switch the tv to when something stupid like baseball is on. We also canceled satellite at home.
Comcast ruined my life. Sent from a secret volcano base using trained sharks |

I saw the price for the 8mm VHS camcorder and just about fell out of my chair.
What a great watch, Loved seeing the old AE86s, even if they had an ungodly amount of body roll.

The 80s were a hell of a time.
