These shows have to be the fastest half hour on TV with them cramming each show into a half hour slot.

An hour long show would barely be enough, but 5 or minutes of the trucks and quads is a bummer. To devote 15 minutes to each class would barely be enough but much better than what we are being given. Actually with an hour, each segment would amount to maybe 12 minutes with commercials. Is this too much to hope for?

Peugeot sure seems to be shaking things up and good on them, even if Robbie needs to rethink his participating. I, for one, hope he comes back with a better competitive vehicle next time. Live and learn and stop your wining. There are bunch of us that root for you to do well, in spite of your complaining about the competition that is smoking you.

Next time, lets see a new gordini from you that can outshine the others. Naturally aspirated at 15,000 ft should tell you something.

NBCSP should sacrifice 'Phil Collins', 'John Denver', and 'Hee Haw' and I bet nobody would be the wiser.:cool:

You're right. I think about what Lance Armstrong did for the cycling sport - prior to the doping scandal. Where is BJ Baldwin? He'd take no prisoners in the Bolivian highlands!

from RDC.

RG had pulley issues early and it was eating up belts. The pulley was new yesterday.

Creed stopped before CP1 with a missing wheel.
