Hey all, not that I know a ton more than what has been published but I honestly believe that anyone who signs up for the service will be really happy with the product that they see.Yes, you will have to suffer through listening to the likes of me, Castello, English, Hirshi, and Reinhart but nothing is perfect.
The difference between this and the ESPN thing, other than the fact that you get every minute of every race is that it is going to present itself a lot better than just a a kind of bootleg offshoot of a TV broadcast. The thing I am excited about is that hardcore fans will be able to see and hear the stuff they want. Some of the most fun junk that happens over the course of a weekend was never stuff that you could experience unless you were sitting at the track, that changes. Stuff like the "bonus" sportsman racing that often happens after a pro session on Friday or Saturday night if we have had schedule issues, etc. The whole environment changes and you really get to see a much looser side of things.
While I appreciate the idea that a race to race package should be available I don't agree with the opinion that it would get people who would not otherwise watch to buck up and tune in. Have you ever in your life been cruising the internet, seen some sort of subscription video thing (G-PG rated), and busted out your wallet to watch?
I appreciate how much $100 is. I honestly do. The fact that people will be able to watch the Mopar Hemi Shootout live at Indy, the Jegs All-Stars in Chicago, nitro Harleys in Epping, plus the rest of the deal? Money well spent...especially if you mute the goofy announcing deck.
