Anybody else miss the SPEED Channel? =(

Just as the title says, will anybody but me miss the SPEED Channel?

I don't watch any sports other than the ones that were on speed like Motocross, Moto GP, Drag Racing, etc. all the good stuff I don't care for throwing ***** around I want to see some HORSEPOWER and WRENCHING!!

RIP Speed you will be missed and I don't think I will ever turn on Fox Sports None .......

I recently looked at the 600 section of my channels (directv) to find the new FXX channel, and saw there was no speed channel. I rarely watched it but was wondering what happened.

A lot of their programming has moved to Velocity, MAV TV is also showing a significant amount of racing.

Have to say, Speed has been going downhill for a long time. Used to watch it a lot, but for the last year or so, very little. Don't know how much I will watch Fox Sports 1 and 2, but did watch some college football on it.

All I am hoping for is I can still watch Grand AM/Lemans racing. Its wither ESPN2 or some other channel. SPEED use to play all of this, that's what I'm mad about.

Whuh?! I didn't even know that happened. I used to watch it a lot, but I really only watch Velocity now. Don't care for NASCAR (turn left!!!) or any of the other non-car shows. Pass Time and some others were good though

I stopped watching Gearz a long time ago. Why, because it seemed he started project after project and never seemed to finish anything. Got tired of wondering what happened to each of the vehicles he started, like the Cougar. Never did see if he finished it.

Yea I was pretty upset when they started to cut back on MotoGP, SBK, well all things moto. And I stopped watching when I realized that all they showed was NASCAR. Didn't know they shut down. Was on deployment.

So far I am unimpreesed with FS1. I could watch Velocity almost all day though. I will miss Pass Time (I was on an episode once), MotoGP, and almost anything Dave Despain had a hand in. These will probably all show back up somewhere though.
