<p>Thanks for the Explanation...I did not think it sucked but yea it was all about them and to someone not aware of the Baja 1000 I think it might have kept them entertained.... cannot forget of people that know nothing about racing like young kids watching for the first time</p>
<p>on the other side if robby would have had a film crew and that same opportunity it could have been a 15 min Speed Energy ad.... need to get some speed logos on the Cops cars ahead of time... LOL</p>

I think some of the best coverage was the 1988 ESPN coverage of the Mint 400 . I'd love to see coverage like that nowadays it would be awesome

<p>Regarding the crappy Baja 1000 coverage, here is the deal on that from Zak Langley (aka COPS)</p>
<p>Just to clear up what happened with the NBC coverage -- Aura 360 came to us like a week before the race, and told us that basically, because sponsors had dropped out, that they wouldn't be doing the 1 hour coverage. They asked us if we'd be willing to contribute footage of our team, because they still had 15 minutes to fill, and they didn't have the time or the money to get a production team…</p>

They asked us if we'd be willing to contribute footage of our team, because they still had 15 minutes to fill, and they didn't have the time or the money to get a production team together. Because we were planning on filming our team anyway, we offered to give them all of our footage for free. Aura 360 was provided with footage, and they cut and produced this short segment for NBC. That's the real story of this thing. Like everybody else, we'd rather see a full hour of coverage on the thousand. In this case, we did what we could to help Aura 360.</p> WOW let's hope not WMJ?!?!tag:www.planetrobby.com,2011-12-11:2181693:Comment:5331002011-12-11T20:46:49.486ZXracerhttp://www.planetrobby.com/profile/Xracer

<p>Well, that was waste of 20 minutes. I can't wait for the Versus/NBC daily 30 second Dakar recap.</p>
