Some of us were hoping to watch the Attica race without knowing the result. Too bad that the winner's name is in the subject line.

I would like to request that any post reporting race results not include any spoilers in the thread title. There are a lot of races being streamed these days and it takes some of us a few days to get...

They always get back to me in a timely manner. I've asked them about the ability to rewind a live stream (like a dvr does, and like I used to be able to do) and they always reply that they are...

Just my opinion but...

I don't know why the announcers talk so much. Just give me the starting lineups and any relevant info like the numbers of transfers, etc. and shut up. No need for any hype....

If you can find Bobby's interviews (I think that there were two) on the Continental Tires Dinner with Racers Podcast you won't be sorry. Some amazing stories!

I wish that the replay schedule was as easy to use on my Roku and on my phone as it is to use on my computer. On my computer I just scroll back to the desired date and all of the races that aired...

In my opinion most announcers could talk less and let the action speak for itself.

It doesn't matter to me as long as the heats are fully inverted and the finishing order translates into feature starting positions. The heats must be "meaningful".

Maybe someday USAC can land a video sponsorship that would cover their costs, compensate Dean for his awesome work and allow for free viewing.

I prefer music, but not too loud. That way I can talk if I want to. Second choice would be silence. I don't care for pit or trackside interviews. They are conducted by amateurs and usually sound...

That was a great race and a great video! I would have fallen over dizzy if I tried that!

Bill,

I'm a huge college basketball fan (although you can't tell that from my awful showing in your IOW board contest). I watch the Jimmy V Classic games every year and I always get goose bumps...

The 1s car is from SoCal. The "s" was often used back in the 60's and 70's to differentiate between cars running with the CRA and the SDRA. The SDRA (San Diego Racing Association) cars were...
