I hope thats to lack of content and funding to get more content. With the demise of SPEED I can only hope advertisers and shows will make the move over to velocity. I'd much rather reruns of old '2 guys garage' or 'Shade Tree Mechanic' than Mayan Space Aliens. Originally Posted by BonzoHansen

With shows like "Dumbest Stuff on wheels" and "Unique Whips" and all the other terrible crap, speed is already dead. There has been rumors of this for a LONG time now, surprised it took this long.

Guess that means Stacy David will be looking for a new gig and it also pretty much guarantees no season 2 for R U Faster Than a Redneck.

X2. Ever since Fox bought Speed out its been a slow downhill slide. The lowest day of it all was when they decided that it was a good idea to rerun "Pimp My Ride". That show was SO bad I don' think it even made a full season on MTV & they invented it... Originally Posted by SLO_Z28

My feelings exactly!!!! I could give a crap about stick and ball sports. I wonder if a letter writing campaign would make any difference. Originally Posted by Todd in Vancouver

Nope. I know of at least 3000 members of different car clubs that signed a petition to Fox asking to bring back all the good stuff they dropped & get rid of the stuff that had little to no viewership. Their response was to add shows like "Stealth Riders", reruns of "Pinks" & 14 or 15 redundant NASCAR related shows that have nothing to do with the actual racing. I'm not knocking NASCAR. I just don't think too many people really care what color some team member's livingroom is or what the team chef is making next Sunday... Originally Posted by TheJDMan

That really sucks...... should have known something was going on when Speed announced that they were dropping Formula 1 a couple of months ago.
