Just wondering?

There are already 238 other ****in threads out there; just answer the question please?

Last I heard there were "production issues" but they were still filming; just nothing on the tube yet (or I think that was it?).

The CBS component in all of this was that they were going to sell the airtime to the parties interested in airing the races. Independents were filming and producing.

Ah- yea I knew the airtime was being purchased but thought that included production and every thing but now thinking about it, they way I was thinking about it doesn't make much sense.

So it wasnt really CBS sports, it was only to be aired on CBS?

Do they lend out their name to purchasers of their air-time? There was definitely a CBS tagged crew at Michigan City.

This would be a question better served on the OSS forum, however Ron P resigned. so any of his unfulfilled promises went to greener pastures along with Ron.

As I understand it CBS was going to air the shows. They were never collecting footage or producing anything. There are others involved in that.

Yes, the footage will be collected. It will be produced and formatted for TV. That is the plan.

Basically an hour long infomercial paid for by SBI, much like Monster SX & Lucas Oil MX .. Simple enough plan.

Still thats lots of green $$$ I wish them luck in this crap ass economy.
