[Land-speed] [Fwd: land speed racing on Discovery this Tuesday!!!]

[joseph lance]

What I saw on the hour-long Discovery channel program was about 30 minutes 
worth of commercials, a lot of salt flat sound bites with no real context, 
and maybe ten minutes of actual footage most of which was repeated before 
and after each commercial break.
