Minchia! 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 in the states, the races are broadcast on the speed channel. Which is a premium cable channel (329) on the local provider, cox communications. I don't know what satellite channel it is. I would invite your old man to watch it at my bar, but it airs here at 4:30am and we're not open that early. He might be able to find a 24hr sports bar and bribe the bartender to change the channel. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, my dad have already missed the Qualy, I told him what you wrote, maybe if he ask the channel at the hotel he would be able to watch it...do you know if there is a "rerun" of the race later in the day?

I don't think the hotel will have SPEED unless it is a damn nice hotel, but they do re-air the races later in the day if they do have SPEED. It will be re-aired at 2:00 PM Las Vegas time.

It will be re-aired at 2:00 PM Las Vegas time. I'll be damned! They do re-air it at 2pm. Escapdeville, tell your old man to swing by Very Venice Bar at the Grand canal Shoppes in the Venetian Hotel. I'll make sure the race is on at least one of the TV's. Have him tell the bartender that he's an old friend of Anthony, the owner, and I'll see that he gets a Peroni on the House! P.S. If the bartender asks for verification, the code word is: "McLaren Sucks". P.P.S. Oh and you might want to PM me your dads name so that every hooligan that happens to be reading this thread doesn't come down claiming to be your dad demanding a free beer.

In that case, I make them stand on the bar and sing the Italian National Anthem. Then, only if they sing it perfectly and if I am in a good mood, I might let them pay double for a beer. Here are the Lyrics. You might want to start practicing: And a-one, and a-two and a- Fratelli d'Italia, l'Italia s' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoda McFly 1 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Dammit, I keep forgetting about finding Minchia's place when I'm up there ... I was in Vegas over Mother's Day weekend (Turkey), and had an interesting experience. Saturday afternoon, I visited a Sports Book (which one doesn't matter), and asked if they took bets on F1. For those unfamiliar with Vegas, it's been said that you can get odds on anything in that town. Some of the bets you can play during the Super Bowls are downright bizarre). Of course, they all take bets on NASCAB.... At any rate, the answer: Nope. Not a chance. Well, do you at least have the Quali results? Nope. Not a chance.
