Caught the back half of the McGreggor Oval race sunday morning on FSN and it looked good, hope there is a replay at somepoint so I can see it in its entirety. I have not seen the earlier races though, and could not find any help on the FSN website search feature as to the schedule.
I SPEND HALF MY PAYCHECK RACING; THE REST I JUST WASTE !!!

Also; what a show the junior and sprint racers put on! they had some of the closest and best racing of the day, this is defitnatly the future and best hope for this great sport of ice oval sprint racing and its my opinion that we cant make any mistakes to drive racers away from the junior and sprint classes. Let the stock rules fall where they may and hopefully it will work and not be eliminated ( if they revert back to 2000 era rules, I will have close to 3000.00 worth of unusable parts but will change just to race). I cant think of a sled that the fans can relate to more than a stocker but some feel differently. I think its some of the closest racing of the weekend as most times all the competiors are on the same straitaway or nose to tail after ten laps. This rules change could be entering trecherous waters as I can see it going the way of the F-111 deal and the fans loved those days but if that MFGs. want a different foremat at the venues we must change for the overall betterment. The new Revs, Iqs,and Yamahas (although the 4 stroke/displacement rule needs some tweeking, a sled that weighs 500 plus pounds and goes over a 100 MPH on the straight but cant turn and runs over people aint safe) are a great machine to race and hopefully someone will get the new Cat out there as it did well in Cross country.
SAVE THE STOCKERS AND BET THE FARM ON JUNIORS AND SPRINT the Champ sleds speak for themselves as they rule! JMO

I believe Wally said all the races would be on at 9:00 Sunday mornings on FSN. He also said they would all be re-played in late fall before next season's races. For anyone that wants you can buy a DVD with all of the action from all the races on the pro-ice site. Goes for the hill cross events, each venue has a tape of its own.

Wally gave an explanation at the banquet this weekend about what was going on with television. he basically said that he got an education as how television works, and was not nearly as easy as he was led to believe it was going to be. he did show us a new schedule and said that it would be posted on there website.
Like the Spy Guy said the next few Sundays at 9am. on FSN the shows will be aired. although Sunday the 27th was the last of the ovals coverage. meaning the remainder of the shows will be focused on Hillcross and hilldrags.
the good thing is that all of the shows will be replayed next fall before our season starts, this should help us get some interest generated before the season starts. we did watch the McGregor race coverage Sunday morning at the Garrison Inn. It looked very good! and this should be a real boost for our sport, as well as a great tool to gain some sponsors.
to those who were in doubt (as well as myself) looks like our faith should be restored about seeing oval coverage on TV.
THANKS Wally!

I understand your frustrations.
It would really help to have a accurate schedule available, to help attract potential sponsors.
THANKS in advance, to anyone that could help us with this.
