Posted by DR1665, Jul-03-07 10:22 AM
TV schedule for Rally America 2007 TV coverage has changed. First show, which includes Snodrift and 100aw is TODAY at 5:00pm est. on ESPN2! The rest of the schedule is here: http://rally-america.com/schedule_2007.php
This is the real deal, right here, fellas. It's not guys with names you can't spell driving cars you can't buy. This is what AMERICAN rally fans are doing.

It was a bit disappointing. Here's why:
1. Thirty minute program means maybe 15 minutes of show. They "covered" two separate two-day events in that fifteen minutes. Show started at five and my clock read 5:12 when they showed Sno-Drift winners spraying champagne. Ugh.
2. 50+ entries in each event, but we only heard mention of the 10% of the drivers who were running in the top five. Of that five or six drivers, more than 50% of the footage was Ken Block or Travis Pastrana. (Although they did mix it up and mention Andrew Comrie-Picard in the SBR Evo.)
It's exposure for the sport and that's a good thing, but it rubs me the wrong way that close to 100 other competitors - people like us - weren't mentioned in any way aside from "More than fifty teams have entered this year."
Next installment is a full hour long and will cover three events on July 27th - same time: 5pm EST. Set the TiVos, fellas.
