Speed get a clue! - Racing Underground Invite plea

What does it take to get a Network Executive job nowadays? Well you must be completely clueless to what the viewers actually want to see. You have to think of better ways to keep advertisers happy all the while screwing over the home viewer.. Lastly, you have to limit to coverage of the actual event to 75% or less... What is it with Speed? Why is it OK to go to commercial with just 3 laps to go? Why do I need to listen to Gavin Emmett (whom I like) entertain Spanish riders on why Spain does so well in MotoGP and thus carve 15 minutes of MY race time? Why not devote a 30 minute special "BEFORE" the GP so we can get our education and STILL watch the entire race? NOTE: Apparently the same execs work for the NFL since the Raider game was preempted with 37 seconds to go and they were in the middle of a Goal Line stand to save (or lose) the game.. Never heard of Picture in Picture I guess

Last rant.... Why do I need to watch the eventual winner who is (sometimes) 7 seconds in front laze through the last 3/4 lap all the while missing a ferocious battle for the remaining podium positions? How many times have you (honestly) sat watching Stoner do a massive wheelie and you are only interested in seeing who is going to come out of the last corner for 2nd and 3rd??

Can anyone donate a Racing Underground invite to me??? Please???

Especially THIS part.

That has nothing to do with Speed Channel though, but it's brain-dead all the same.

They could continue to capture the heated battles and then go back and show the winner cross the finish a few seconds later.
