Let me just say this: I come from an era when none of the races were shown on television. Ever. I also come from the next era, when the races were shot with three cameras and then telecast—with Brock Yates as co-host/commentator no less—six whole weeks after the fact.

Speed sources confirmed today that the Fontana Superbike races will be shown tape-delayed next weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday's races (Fontana is a double-header)will run Sunday afternoon; Sunday's race will be telecast an hour after completion.

What happened to the "all races live" part of the Superbike series is unknown. It is known this is the final year of the Speed/AMA contract.
