Speed World Challenge Race on TV Saturday

The Sebring round of the Speed World Challenge race will be shown on Saturday, March 30 at 8pm Eastern (5 pm Pacific). See Roger Foo's new Protege 5, In car action from Charles Espenlaub's # 96 Protege and Shauna Marinus's #40 Protege, and the usual slam bam action that makes this series so exciting. The In car from both Espenlaub and Marinus should be awesome, because Espenlaub was in 3rd when he was rammed by a Civic, and Marinus passed something like 20 cars on the first lap!

I think there was a Foo interview also, but we will have to see.

well that stinks dude.... one thing to check is to call your cable company and have them come out and look at your cables.... that could be your problem, because most houses have non-digital spliters and copper center cables that cant handly 900mhz which is what they need to be able to transmit to get the higher channels. I had to have the cable company come out and pull new wire to that box in our house before we could get all of our channels.... now its awesome.

just a bit of info that you should look into

Thanks for the tip! I so want to see a P5 out there racing around on the track!
