[Vintage-race] FW: Sebring Video Coverage or Lack Thereof

[Richard Hardison]

I just finished watching the ABC coverage (?) of Sebring which had been
recorded earlier.  I had forgotten how bad it was last year.  This year met
the same standard.  Too bad.

When I had time, I would get to Sebring early Saturday morning, watch the
race from many vantage points, even crewed for a friend one time.  In recent
years with less time, I would just watch on Speed TV.  Now, it is ONLY
available on ESPN3 on the Internet.  Whose greed was responsible for this?
Sebring's?  ALMS?  Murdoch?  So, now I'm watching it on grainy, jumpy,
illegible, low res 18" image on my 25" high-res computer monitor.  What
stupidity!

I'm going to contact the "sponsors" to let them know what a disaster this
kind of coverage is.

At least I got to see some of the cars live & screaming on Thursday at the
track in practice.
