The MotoGP is being braodcast on WRAL at 1:00 and the 250 on Speed at 4:00.  That's different!  Where's a good place in Raleigh?

I'll record both just in case though.

So Speed TV isn't showing the GP at all?  That's weird.  I knew the next several races are gonna be broadcast by different networks here in the US but I thought that would be in addition to the Speed broadcast, not instead of.

At any rate, anywhere in the area is fine with me.  It'd just be cool not to watch the race by myself for once.

I might be in.

I'll keep an eye out to see where you guys decide to watch it.

If you feel like watching it in Chapel Hill, I know a place with $2 Dos Equis drafts on Sundays.

$2 now.  Son of a pregnant dog.  Soon it is gonna cost more on Sundays.

Chapel Hill is OK with me.  I have no idea who in the area shows or is willing to show the race so I can't really suggest anything.

Speed will show it on Tuesday, but it'll be in HD on Fox.

The aforementioned place with the $2 Dos Equis drafts has HD.

This's looking like a plan.

If by "douche bags" you mean "guys with dirty looking mustaches who own burnt up Ducatis", yes, you heard correctly.

$2 dos equis and HD?? How do I not know about this place after 3 years in the thrill?

Yes.  I heard something like that.

The Flying Burrito.  It went out of business about a year ago but has recently been remodeled and reopened.  Located in the shopping center at Hillsborough and Airport.

Damn, I guess it's CBS and not Fox, and not in HD. Lame.

It wouldn't be in HD. I read something just a couple of days ago that Dorna is trying to upgrade all the equipment so they can start filming in HD in 2010.  Apparently it's pretty complicated since that means all the onboard cameras have to be HD as well.  I can see that as a problem because you're talking about a quantum jump in bandwidth needed for the camera-to-pit link.
