Speed Factory?

What ever happened to Speed Factory.TV? I thought it was a pretty cool look inside the team & I always looked forward to the new episodes. Was it just the kick off to Speed Energy & then went away after the drink launch?

It was a marketing test for SpeedEnergy?

It's the old SpeedEnergy logo in the show, right? May be a copyright thing. Great show. Can't seem to find but one episode online.

Like Mike was saying, I believe The show was used as a means to introduce the SPEED logo/build brand identity in preparation for the launch of the energy drink.

If I am remembering correctly at the 2010 SEMA Magnaflow dinner Robby was being interviewed and the girl doing the interview asked Robby about the Speed Factory TV show and Robby said they sold (10?) episodes and that we would see it on TV. I'm sure the interview is still on You-Tube somewhere. My guess is in the end it did not work out and probably with introducing the drink and logo change is was shelved like so many other shows.

Actually this was the SEMA 2010 interview where Robby talks about the TV show. In this interview RG said they sold 15 episodes to SPEED TV, which was going to air in 2011. The show was going to be called Chasing Speed.
