have also been wondering lately about streaming live video. IMO it's too early (3-5 years?) to abandon cable.
(cut-the-cord is the PC term i believe?).....cable is on the way out, streaming video will only expand exponentially
in the near future (it already is)......is a niche' sport like NHRA drag racing ripe for this application?
could NHRA stream the races (live if they choose) for a lot less than paying ESPN?.....i don't know but i would think so?
how many of us watch the youtube videos of nhra events the day after....KMAN posts all the qualifying thru elims.
I would think soon we may be tuning into youtube, or similar, for the actual race. Google owns youtube and is not
too far out with their 'google fiber' technology......tv is going to change bigtime and NHRA mite be the better for it.
