Hi There

[gdz 6171]

Hi there, this is gdz 6171. I am from Canada and unfortunately if its not Hockey, not many people up here are that interested in any other sport. For me,it was during the hockey strike my buddy introduced me to Nascar and I have been hooked ever since.My favorite driver is Kevin Harvick. I have been looking for sites to download cars and possibly learn how to design cars for myself and others to enjoy. I look forward to having discussions with fellow members.

Welcome to SRD! I like Hockey in the USA. Unfortunately, not the same effect as in Canada.

Yeh,we get very little news coverage in the papers here,but fortunately we get all the TV stations that carry the races so thats pretty good. Have to rely on the net for the rest.

If you don't have satellite your screwed up here... EVEN if you do they have the required "Canadian content" ie the BUTCHERING of the U.S. broadcasts by channels like TSN. It doesn't matter if you have cable they too will cut from NBC and run the Canadian channel covering it. For those watching the Canadian channel they don't get the good commercials and when the allowed time slot is finished they continue with their required broadcast even if the race isn't done... so you get a rerun of funniest videos or blind date instead of the race ending... ok rant off.... breathe...

Wow that's no good. I'd be livid if they cut to some stupid reruns instead the finish of a race, probably become homicidal.

The best is when they have something else on TSN like curling and when the race is supposed to start, if the curling match isn't over, you have to wait till it's over until they start broadcasting the race.Used to drive me completely nuts until I got TSN2.
