mervjankefanclub Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Not too impressed with the camera angles changing on every bend, thought the TV was on the blink at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I had to miss it due to doing the Diamonds v Berwick updates tonight....looks like I didn't miss much...Is it worth watching the repeat on Thursday evening? I think I know the answer to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doolan Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 It cant all be up to Sky Sports standards. At least there is speedway on another channel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Jeez, that was pants. Gave it two heats and passed over the remote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz W Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I recorded it and watched most of it on fast forward. What i would like to know though is what was the combined age of the finalists, the meeting was from 2008 and the finalists were: Bobby Schwartz, Mike Faria, Buck Blair, Shawn McConnell and Jimmy Fishback.

As you asked...208. At the time of the match, the ages were: Mike Faria - 51 Bobby Schwartz - 51 Shawn McConnell - 49 Buck Blair - 30 Jimmy Fishback - 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czechhero Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Good bits, bad bits, good to see Mad Dog in action. Why moan, speedway on telly, makes a nice change. Having said that, some of the camera work did make me feel a touch nauseus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adder Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Truly awful. As has been pointed out it did look as it had been filmed on a mobile phone, the ever changing camera angles made you lose track of what was happening and the graphics were too big for the screen. All rather embarrassing really, I don't know if that is the usual standard of broadcast on Motors TV. I'm surprised it ever got cleared for transmission given the dreadful quality.

hagonshocker Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just hope that anybody new to the sport didnt come away thinking that was typical of our sport! Although makes a change to watch US speedway on tv i guess ,even though the 'production' was dire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I watxched three heats, then went into planner and pressed delete button. Crap in the extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Although was interseting to see some different speedway,it highlights just why the USA is a second rate speedway nation at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho3a Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 After 1 Heat thought i would watch it tonight as didnt look very good... Now decided to abandon it altogether after these comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Racing Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just been watching the american speedway on motors t.v, well its not as good as sky but its speedway, some of the heats were very tight. ...... i mean 5 riders on small track. Will watch the next one, but if that can be put on motors, lets get the t.v cameras to Scunny or Str or dragons, the racing would prob be as good.

LOL Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Billy's crash in the Semi looked nasty, that was one of Billy's last meetings i think,who did the "camera" work baffles me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doolan Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 The camera work was all done by the Americans i believe and put straight on to Motors TV. I agree the camera work was abit bad but still its speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
