----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
I agree with you tipsters that ABC droped the ball
with no HD Indy coverage. Danica was a added plus
Luckily Yes, NBC will be doing HD this year, + it will
be in 1080i and will test the systems with fast motion
pan and zooms, they may have hiccups but they should
be Ironed out by the Brickyard 400.
They have only done 1 test race and one Broadcast race
last years Daytona 500 which went pretty well. They
also did Richmond last year on TNT in HD
Date:08/07/05 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard
Indianapolis Motor Speedway NBC/2:30 p.m. IMS/--
Their (NBC) first race in '05 will be the Daytona ,
Pespi(Firecracker)400 on 4th July week end.
