I agree with you, no way I'm doing PPV for any race either....PPV will likely result in lower viewership and by extension lose potential new fans. I sure hope it doesn't come that.

Subscribing to NHRA.TV is a pay per view. I’ll still be watching the races no matter where they are located. Sponsors would not be happy if the whole series is behind a paywall. Being on free TV or cable is necessary to attract new fans. Now it’s possible that Amazon or Netflix could provide enough eyeballs to please the sponsors. Flo Racing, Peacock or any other for pay service will only hurt NHRA and the sport.
Perhaps I misunderstood the original comment I replied to - I thought he meant PPV for each race only. Doesn't nhra.tv offer other content and such? I'd rather pay for a service with content than just a PPV only for each event. I think we're on the same page though, maybe a different paragraph so to speak.
NHRA.tv is roughly $150-170/yr, I can't remember, but I renew it every year. But that gets you total event coverage of all 20 events, from start to finish. There's a lot of content you won't see on the Fox coverage, and it shows every round of every class. Plus, there is a lot of divisional event coverage as well. There's room for improvement, as many have discussed here, but when you break it down, it's stupid cheap for a race junkie.

Neither, I think they're both great. I tune in to the .TV to catch everything with the Pro Classes, special guests in the booth, etc... I also watch the FOX broadcasts to hear their commentaries.

These are my thoughts too. On another note, I read this earlier today, and thought that maybe they would look at NHRA?

I think Nascar did 6 races this year on Prime, it was a big success. I bet most of you have a Amazon Prime subscription for free shipping and then most but not all video is free. Nascar was free, the only Nascar race I'll see this year! Come on Nhra.

F1 is available only on Apple TV this year. I used to watch every F1 race and followed the series closely through last season. This season, I have not watched a race, nor have I followed anything going on in F1. It no longer exists for me.
Streaming may be a short-term success, but how is that success measured, and what does it mean long-term?
I posted this earlier but I've watched every F1 race this year on sky net sports which is available on hypertv

hypertv is not free. I do not want to pay for another streaming service just to watch F1.
Mike, how is the video quality? Fox NHRA looks like 4K on Direct TV stream, would never give that up, especially since NHRA will not provide quality audio. The video quality is all we have

FWIW, it’s basically an illegal streaming platform. Just like Superbox.
