LOL....I thought it was Darrell Waltrip announcing with Jeff Hammond doing the technical commentary.

i think waltrip wanted to do the trackside reporting...to keep it real.  and i think he'll really connect well with the likes of rossi and pedrosa.  benny parsons and bill weber will be sure to be up in the box, too, though

This will be a good one. No spoiler here. I keep stumbling onto the race results before I see the race when looking at Cycle News or SBKplanet online. >:( I'll just leave it at that. :-X

Don't forget about the other MotoGPs that will also be broadcast by CBS (not SpeedTV) and the Indy race by NBC. Huge bummer that AMS/Dallas is not having a Laguna Seca watch party this year. Looks like Scott and I won't be winning any leather jackets in raffles this year. :P Maybe they'll have one for the Indy race. [thumbsup] We'll have to look for cdc and giannis waving at the camera from the pits!

Hmm so I wonder if they got their TVs fixed at Isabellas? Anyone?

I'll be at motopia for the race. In the cage though, have errands to run after.

I'm not going to comment on the race, but two observations regarding the CBS coverage

A+  Digital signal (or at least better than the crappy signal from Speed)
C    Race commentary.  Kevin Schwantz, A;   Gregg White, D (So does anyone else think he would be better suited to ring-side WWF Wrestling commentator?)

And while I'm at it, does anyone else think Chris Vermulen looks like a hobbit?

Well, since my last name is Bilbo I take considerable offense at being associated with Chris Vermeulen! [laugh]
