Default Are you watching the SCCA Runoffs?

How many of you all watch the SCCA Runoffs on SPEED?

I record all of them and watch them when I can. I really enjoy it and look forward to watching all the races every year. I may not know all the drivers, but the racing is always good.

This year's H Production race was phenomenal.

I guess one of the reasons I like it is that one of these years, I hope to build and race a club racer of some kind. Watching the races kind if makes it all seem possible.

That is where having a DVR is really a good thing. All the winter time races (only because that is when SPEED finally decides to show them) like the DTM series, LMS, GTCC, etc, get set on my DVR and watch them when I can.
They are showing all the Runoff races twice, but it looks like they are only showing about 2 per week this year. Previous years, they ran them all in about a week.

If you have never watched the Runoff stuff, I highly recommend it. There is some great racing going on out there.

I've been watching most of them, taped of course - good racing, but the Topeka track is one of the most unmemorable.

Yep, that SPEED channel sure has gone down hill if you like roadracing...

Their schedule may finally induce me to get DVR.

BTW -AS was a good race, eh?
