NBC does not show the Baja 1000 as programmed for this time slot. When I do a search for the 1000, old Bajas are showing up.
I'll set my tivo to record the 11:00 time slot and see what happens.
Thnaks for the info, Curt!

big dissapointmet...again
NBC gets a big thumbs down. It seems they are getting worse at showing the best of the race. I fully understand they need to show more of the fastest
bikes and Trophy Trucks, but when the announce brings up the "summit" and shows nothing what a joke.
There were many places they could have showed, but didn't.
No more wasting my time with all the commercials. I go elsewhere for better coverage.

Great coverage. Could have been better with more coverage of other classes, Ironmen/Ironwomen and.....the SILT.
Did I mention...HONDA WINS!!!!!!
No worries

i'm with you Steekers. lame show.
and more of a showcase for the obvious sponsors they sold the ad time to.
like that big GO thing.
who has time for playing with that - and why for?
something for twitter heads and my face space place i guess who have no life?
i'll pass next time.
there are better shows done by indies.
too bad as i have been a fan of the baja underground before.

Guys, it was less than an hour show, and subtract the commercials (that pays for it to be filmed) and you get just a snip-it of coverage... I was
hoping for some shots in Matomi... Oh well, beats nothing! Yah, the summit wasn't and what he called 'Ojos Negros' wasn't either... Except for us Baja
and off road racing nuts, nobody else in the USA knew any different.
If you want more, then get 'Dust to Glory' or the Baja Flo movies... Come on over, I got 'em here and watch them with a beer!

even better
Next time lets film it ourselves! With all the Nomads help we could do it up right. Planes in the daytime, rovers at night. Speaking of night, the NBC
commentator said "OH OH, and here comes nightfall" and the following coverage was even worse that the day coverage! Sure it is better than nothing but
to sit through the commercials...UGH...except the ASPCA one that showed all those very cute abused animals...I donate to that good cause.
We amateurs could do better! Next time Capt Mike, lets take to the air. The next one goes to La Paz.

i am wit ya amigo.
i know a good commercial film crew too.
am thinking get MMES early offs.
land mid way and follow action, like BOLA SQ, or gonzaga
get to la paz before night and do the finish.
or do the nite at San Juanico and hit la paz in the early morning.
