If anyone watched the Speed coverage of the C.A.R.T. qualifing last Sat. all the way to the end they were showing some on screen info with the start of the F2000 race as a background!!! you could hear the cars and see the Green flag. Then at the very end the same thing with the finish and checker in the background. Now that the Atlantics run on Sunday[no more Lites] why can't we have F2000 races on Saturdays!! OK so I'm A dreamer?
Even with the few teething problems the series has had so far this year, they are REALLY good at communicating with the teams to get the sessions in on time and run smoothly.
CART got done al little early, and the series was able to get all the teams lined up and ready to go 10-15 minutes early and get some TV time gratis. Props to all the teams, too.

I'm glad someone saw the Zetec cars during CART qualifying. After CART qualifying ended early one of the CART officials in the control tower mentioned to Beaux Barfield that they had some airtime open and I know some of the producers at the Speed channel, so I gave them some of our stuff. Did they mention the series or drivers, if only briefly, or was it just background to Varsha, Kendall and the gang?
With regards to Saturday races on Speed. Were you inquiring why we're not on, or why not much live racing is on? If why we're not on, it is merely the cost to do so unfortunately.

At first, there was just noise in the background and Varsha mentioned that one of the support races was underway. Then, there were some brief shots from the start/finish cam, showing the field passing the starter stand under caution. After some commercials and interviews with Yasakawa and HunterReay, they finally mentioned the series by name. But, never any actual race coverage or driver names. They were too busy showing the tin foil underneath the champ car engine covers.
