The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is going to try a new service. We are going to try Live audio from the announcers booth. Remember that there might be some dead air between rounds.. If this sounds interesting to you, please post a response.

Live audio feed from the announcer's booth sounds like a great idea to me!!

Fantastic idea! I loved it when you used to have the webcam with views of the pits as well, what happened to that? I give LVMS credit for thinking "outside of the box" and coming up with these new ways of sharing with us on the internet.

All they need now is a live pay per view boradcast to go with it.... say $49.95 for the weekend..... ????? i'd buy it....

Didn't TNT or ESPN2 try the PPV thing many years ago? I seem to recall you could purchase a package and watch the entire weekend's racing, including EVERY run down the track, from TF to Super classes. I'd jump on that one, now that I'm a professional spectator rather than competitor, lol.

ESPN tried it about 10 years ago. They did three races, all day Sunday, from pre-race to winners circle, non-stop. It was a bargain, $14.95 per event.

My local cable system wouldn't carry the drag racing ESPNPPV. I went to their office and begged them to let me buy it -- they refused and I missed the first one. As the second event was approaching, I was again down at their office, beginning them to let me buy the program. They refused again. The same day, I went to Circuit City and bought a DirecTV dish and receiver so I could buy the remaining two events.

USSB satelite (now Direct TV) offered the PPV service back in 1994 and maybe 1995. One race in 95 got rained out and just listen the announcers talk for serveral hours...Dave Mac and the fuel pump guy...LOL ...Waterman.

I believe it was about 30 bucks for saturday and sunday, or you could just buy one day each.

I believe somewhere i got the World Finals that year on tape both Saturday and Sunday.

Is this going to work for the LODRS?

Is this going to work for the LODRS?

I have the same question.

 

[Jenn]

I stayed home from the LODRS. Finals are coming up fast and I need time to write a 12-15 pages paper on skill based and pay for knowledge compensation.

I lent the guys my convertable, they figured it would fit better in the trailer than anything they had.

I hate staying home.

Awesome idea! Bringing live coverage to the fans that can't be there is a great way to go. I probably won't ever hear it since I attend both races every year, but I think that it will be a great thing!

 

[Jenn]

I guess it's not going to happen, there is nothing scheduled.

Why no points race this weekend? Would have been a great place to start!

What do you mean?

I think that would be a great idea, especially for those of us overseas.

I guess we should have commented on it when it first came out. Bummer!
