Luge!?!?!?
Ok...now I think Luge is cool, but on a Sunday night after everyone has gone to sleep and I get the remote, I want to see Formula 1 Decade, or a rerun of an ALMS race, or maybe WRC reruns. So what do I find on Speed? LUGE?

It's been running all night long! Hmmm... I did enjoy the SCCA Runoff Marathorn couple days ago though.

Did anyone here catch the kart races they showed earlier in the day? Pretty awesome!

Remember, the American luge team has support from Geoff Bodine who is NASCAR who owns Speed.

Then, of course, there's this. And as an avid skier and former instructor I can only say, "where the hell is the brake on that thing!?"

Hoot! I know where one of those ski-bobs is...it's owner never used it. Probably because he has common sense? This guy a total collector...never sells anything. But if it's LUGE you like? Try driving in the Willamette Valley of Oregon tonight. It snowed last night, then got above freezing during the day, now below freezing. Has to be lots of black ice out there, especially on secondary roads. The body shop owners are going to have a biz boom!

I street luge, talk about an adrenaline rush doing 45-50 mph 2.5 inches off the ground. Ice luge seems a little fast...

wow. any thoughts on a first site? things are pretty populated here. I figured I'd do it in the company of others with experience, that they may head me off at the pass lest I unwittingly attempt to do something really stupid. but I guess I could go it alone

I too watched a bit of the luge on SPEED the other nite.
True, not "Victory By Design", but better than NASTYCAR reruns.

"I saw it on TV and thought it looked cool, so I started researching it online and found dimensions to build a wooden luge ...... "
Why does this remind me of self-dentistry?

That third one was built from metal, and those get really expensive, the last one he has pictured is like around $1700 I think...
