No, I´m in denial right now, I can control my racing habits, I can quit anytime, I just don´t want to quit now. :)

Too many self inflicted wounds and missed opportunities and just too many wasted years gone by to be at that level again.

As long as their is an interest its never to late.

Are you trying to say that you think America is no longer interested in openwheel racing?

It doesn't seem that way. How many new, young fans do you think OW gained over the last decade? Not many, I'd say.

Sarahfan, I don't run anywhere near those circles and have no idea.

To me it was clear that the ABC/ESPN coverage was going nowhere and what is left of it still isn't. Yes the 500 gets hyped but that is all.
Versus is not the greatest but they are pushing the races from what I hear and producing a better product. The big hope is Versus will grow and carry IRL with it. Maybe or maybe not but ABC/ESPN seemed to be a dead end street. So that can be seen as a positive.
Up here in the boonies we are stuck with TSN who couldn't really care less about racing. They usually show the races on a tape delay at 3 or 3.30 in the morning. Some are on TSN2 which I do not get and Rogers cable won't even carry. That really hypes the ratings and interest. I have Bell satellite but unless I get HD and/or pay more do not get TSN2.
This year they are forcing the blackout of Speed's coverage of F1. Practice which TSN does not cover is blacked out. TSN does not have the BBC pre race show but Speed's coverage is blacked out. Speed's repeats, even days later are blacked out.
Yes I complained to TSN. I did not even get an acknowledgement let alone a response.

So the alternatives were....
