Channel is better.........

Yep -- The Speedchannel has been juggling these shows for the past few months. For those of us trying to keep an up-to-date guide from going out of date, it sure makes it tough. There's never any announcement when dates or times change, which happens often.

March is loaded with boat racing, as you can see from the guide I posted above -- Hydro-Prop, APBA Offshore, IHBA, ODBA, Even the tragic SCSC Parker AZ Thanksgiving Regatta will be shown this month........ :(

Unfortunately, after about April, I have a hunch we'll hardly see any more "MARINE" shows on Speedchannel. I think they are using re-runs of boating events just to fill up their free time until their new NASCAR related shows have finished taping. :( which really stinks.

But, for those interested in Offshore, the last report I heard was APBA-Offshore managed to get a tentative contract with Speedchannel. Waiting to hear when it is final.

BUT -- As AeroEFX posted on Scream and Fly not long ago --- We will probably see their shows (previously known as "COMPETITION OFFSHORE") that we are so used to seeing, will probably be on another channel this season: They are working on an agreement with the The Outdoor Channel , known as "TOC" or "Outdoor".

I sure hope they can put it together! As far as I know, AeroEFX is the first producer to target mostly the non-professionally funded boat racing circuits. Before AeroEFX came on, there was barely any racing shown on TV -- except for professional series racing. Nobody has tackled this before, mostly because there's almost no money to be had from boat racing.

Don't let anyone fool ya --- these guys really love boat racing and don't do this for the cash, they do it from their hearts.

Very much like race boat designers :)
