  1. By maxed out, do you mean by storage or by bandwidth? Same, I have three as well, and each one serves a different purpose
  2. This is going to be on FS1/FS2, as you can see, its still not all going to be NASCAR and stick and ball sports, so there is still some hope NASCAR Truck Series Full Season: Present through 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Exhibition Races: Present through 2024 NASCAR Cup, NNS & Truck Series Practice & Qualifying: Present through 2024 NASCAR Cup & NNS Points Race: 2015 through 2024 ARCA Racing Series: Present through 2018 (I believe 2018 is the year) United SportsCar Racing: 2014 through 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans: Present though ??? (Multi-Year deal no end date announced that I've seen). MotoGP: Present through 2016 Moto2: Present through 2016 Moto3: Present through 2016 AMA Supercross: Present through 2014 (though as of earlier this year an extension was in the works) Lucas Oil Motocross: Present through ???? (hell I didn't even know they showed this, I thought it was on NBCSN but apparently it's part of the FS1 launch weekend) Monster Jam, I haven't heard anything about though ESPN/ESPN2 used to show Monster Trucks all the time and lets be honest FOX doesn't have NBA or NHL games so they are going to have free-time that'll need filling so I see Monster Jam staying through maybe moved to FS2. Supposedly this past Saturday SPEED showed a 2014 Monster Jam preview show (I was at the local track so I have no idea if they actually did or didn't) but to me that indicates FS1/2 will cover the series in 2014. Though on the other hand remember that Monster Jam didn't start on SPEED, it was actually a TNN property back in the day so it's not like if it does move to another network that it'll be something new to the series as it's done it before. Also lets not forget that AMA Supercross & Monster Jam are owned by the same promoter. V8 Supercars and those various other series that have contracts will likely remain in place for the remainder of the season in their normal delayed & edited format, maybe moved over to FS2 but still on the FOX family of networks. Though lets be honest those of us that are AuV8SC, DTM, BTCC, WTCC fans all prefer to watch the races live over an internet stream (legal or not) instead of the delayed & edited version of each race that SPEED has been showing for years anyway. In all honesty, now that I am over losing SPEED, I dont really care, for use NASCAR fans, and fans of motorsports, not much is changing for us, its just the weekly scripted reality garbage that is being replaced, and that is fine by me.
  3. I am going to take a trip to one of the stores here to see the new reset, to see if I can find what they did with clearance kits, and to see if they have any Tamiya Primer
  4. Seeing how I was born in 1980, well, will just leave it at that
  5. Because I did not hear the mailman at the door this morning, nothing
  6. Speedvision was great, I would love to have another Speedvision , but that will never happen, but ESPN is not a making a motorsports come back, anything on four wheels is treated like the red headed step child, other then NASCAR, ESPN has has six Indy Car race's, they have NHRA, they have a few ALMS series, and the Rally Cross, I might be missing something. But come 2015, ESPN will no longer have NASCAR, as that is moving over to NBC/SN. Motorsports to ESPN is an after, after thought, which is sad, because just like SPEED in the early days and Speedvision, ESPN use to care about motorsports. NBC/SN is going to be the new motorsports home in the near future , they are on their way there now, and as to the F1 coverage, its the same as it was on SPEED, the only difference is the on screen graphics and a few of the talking heads, but thats it, F1 coverage is produced by FOM( Formula One Management), its a pool feed , SPEED/NBC/SN have no control over it
  7. NASCAR has gotta know that we all know the so called "debris cautions" are bogus and just being used to bunch field back up, and to add "drama" to the race
  8. You might have better luck heading over here http://www.randyayersmodeling.com/modelingforum/index.php
  9. FOX is is turning SPEED into FOX Sports 1, and FuelTv will become FOX Sports 2, the reason FOX is doing this is to compete with ESPN/2, FOX has had this in the works for 15 years now I have been following this since the rumors started about a year and a half ago, while I can not tell you what all racing series may be shown on FS1/2 , I can tell you that the 24 Hour Of Le Mans will be covered by FS1 next year, as for the other racing series, I am guessing that they will run out the tv rights for those series and then who knows what is going to happen . Yes there is a reason why FS1 is going to have NASCAR coverage, FOX spent billions of dollars for the rights to cover NASCAR race's, so of course its going to be covered on FS1 But at the end of the day, its all about money, there is more money to be made in a "all sports network" then their is a "all motorsports network", but I am going to tell you this, keep an eye on NBC Sports Network, they are for the time being starting to like the new SPEED in a lot of ways, and yes, come 2015, they will have NASCAR too I agree with most here though, there has not been anything on SPEED worth watching for a few years now other then motorsports coverage. But. as of right now, DirecTv, Dish Network, Time Warner Cable have not agreed to carry FS1/FS2 , the reason why is FOX is asking for a very high rate increase , and those companys are refusing to do so, if an agreement has not been reached by 6am on the 17th, SPEED will continue , but in a limited form .
