[QUOTE="Ryno, post: 10455, member: 228"] I agree with Tim and Shaun has some excellent points as well. However, showtimes, should be thought about. Most of us are out in the desert, or doing stuff Saturday, home about 5-7 pm on Sunday. Friday is most of the time pack night. So, I think early week slots, like Monday-Wed....then maybe a race on Sunday night, maybe about 7-9pm. Thursday nights are primetime, My girlfriend won't let me near the TV!! As far as what attracts people to desert racing....I'm one of those people that believes that if you have tons of $$$, but you don't respect the desert, it'll eat you alive. I like it because you can race, and you never know who's gonna win. There are always favorites, but stuff ALWAYS happens. I think the Herbst boys change tires more than they do their own underwear. =) All in all, it's damn cool to see a truck do 110, and ride like a cadillac through 24" whoops. Speedvision does OK at commentary right now Roesler knows his stuff...but they need to get someone in there who can explain the differences between the classes for first time viewers. I think alot of people new to the sport think all the trucks are 4wd. I'm going off what I saw from the BITD Vegas to Tonopah race. There was a chopper there, are a couple in car cams. I think with camera crews, they will always have to be moving, like the start line crew goes to pit 6, etc...Just had to get alot of cameras out in the sand and silt. I'm sure that stuff plays havoc on equipment. Thanks for taking the time for opinions! Ryno Build it like a Rhino, and Leave it be. [/QUOTE]
