Awesome!

Thanks Bret. I've always wondered why Speed never covered all of the races for the OUSC competition as I thought it was right up their alley. So congratulations to MAV TV for showing the races. Hopefully it will inspire more to become involved and also help people understand how this hobby/sport improves driving skill, car safety, and just fun. It's the ultimate E-ticket where the lines aren't ridiculous (name your favorite amusement park that's large). I think that RideTech is a great match for the show as you offer various upgrades for a great many different cars that are affordable.

So thanks,
Rod

Actually, Speed did cover all the races at that time. Up until this year there was only the Las Vegas event and the Road America qualifier in 2012 and 2013. This is the first year for the 11 event schedule.

Also note [as most already know]...Speed no longer exists. It was bought by Fox Sports and turned into a general stick and ball sports channel. MAV and Velocity have been scurrying to pick up the motorsports end of Speed. That is why we've tried to make people aware of how [and why] they need to find and subscribe to MAV. Although some cable providers do not yet carry MAV, every inquiry gets them closer to providing these broadcasts. Call, call again, piss, bitch, moan, and threaten to cancel until you get what you want. You know...typical transaction with TV providers

On a specific note...MAV tells me that DISH sattellite will add MAV to any package for an extra $4.00 per month. It may not be listed on their website but if you call and ask [demand] it IS available. Other providers may have a similar deal. Asking is free.

I'm going to be gunning for a spot next year. Need to get some Ridetech bits underneath the truck, and someone who knows what they're doing inside of it for a change

It's on DirecTV

Does anyone know if MAV TV is available on the internet? My cable provider is Comcast and I don't see them making much in the way of improvements to their service.

This series will not be available online anywhere, MAV TV has the exclusive rights to air it and it'll only air on their channel.

I thought the first episode was great. The production quality is top notch, great action, great people, great cars...very well done over all. Can't wait to see the shows from each of the qualifying events leading up to the grand finale.

I was surprised to see so much footage from the event at Gateway make this show, that's a pretty quick turnaround. Almost all of the Speed Stop action was from Gateway and that was just two weeks ago.

Agreed Lance, I really liked it.
I was surprised that they used a snip-it from my roof mounted GoPro at Daytona
Pretty neat to see your car on TV. It showed up a few other times when we were at Road America. I was also surprised to see so much from you guys at Gateway.

agreed but I think they had most of the episode in the can already, the round table discussions with Cam, Chad, Suzy, Jimi, Bret and most of those were from back at the Laguna Seca event and was some of the catalyst on were to go with the event and the show.....they did film Suzy driving Gateway for the intro show
