Yes, yes... It was indeed a much better coverage than what I get through Speedvision. The idiots over there continue to pound (IRK) us with ifp crap with only an occasional metric number here and there.
On the other hand, did you notice the funny "LTRS" abbreviation when they were showing the pit stop data?... He, he... Quite amusing. The only thing I didn't like one bit was the fact that they pulled the plug on the analog signal I was watching with my analog BUD (Big Ugly Dish). I couldn't see the entire race because of this! !$#%$!@$ Marcus On Mon, 30 Sep 2002 13:44:52 Michael G. Koerner wrote: >"Stephen C.
