Before Speed, we had Speedvision. Does anyone remember what the same network/show was called before that? As I remember it was then part of the Turner Broadcasting Network? I need to know the name of it then.

not speed channel, I think it is called that now. I did a search and speedvision was started in 96. I just remember watching shows before that, and they all ended up on speedvision? Maybe I am just getting too old and losing my mind?lol

One of the 1st auto shows I remember on TNN was Truckin' USA. Ted something was the host and he had a funnly little saying at the end, but it was pretty fun to watch back then. It would be even more fun to watch today. Shade Tree Mechanic followed soon after.

I thought TNN became "The National Network" and then SpikeTV?

That's right. Then Spike Lee wanted to sue them for using "his" name.

American Sports Cavalcade was cool on TNN when I was a kid. Swamp buggy races, tractor pulls, monster trucks, it was always something different every week.

I miss Steve Evan's at the Sippy hole Swamp buggy races on TNN. Those things are the coolest! And yeah, i thought Dean Skuza and Cameron Evans made a great team

And I miss WCW Wrestling!
