I thought they had bought the rest of SV - there was
something in AW a couple of weeks back, together with
the NASCAR threat.
Consider that a lot of Speedvsion's stuff is boats and

current racing lineup + NASCAR.
I'm addicted to Legends of Motorsport. Just the most
interesting show ever. Let's hope that doesn't go.
