are you kidding me? I knew it was bad, but almost half as many minutes devoted to commercial as it was the race?!?!!?!
I get lots of exercise during the race by getting up and going into the other room during the commercial to follow the race on trackpass. Don't know how many times I call out "Caution!" during the commercials.
