Which should be completely outlawed. As in finding whoever is doing it and eject them from the grounds. I don't mind the pre race stuff. But you're really kinda screwing over the promoters by offering a way to watch the races for free while sitting at home.

I get your point, but people stay at home because they can read live updates too. Maybe tracks should throw people out for that also. I'd rather see tracks embrace ways to build fan interest and use technology to reach the fans. I'm sure there are ways for tracks to use it to make more money rather than take a hard stance against it. We want younger fans, and technology is a huge part of getting them.
The only reason I am wondering is because I would gladly pay to watch some of the shows live this week. I live in Wisconsin, and am on call for work this week/weekend. Otherwise I would do everything in my power to be there in person
People would rather stay home and read Twitter updates than be at the track? You're all nuts. I drove 800+ miles Fri-Mon to see Williams Grove, Port Royal, and Susquehanna.

Seriously?? As if watching grainy footage on a 3 inch screen is any subsitute for the real thing.... i can guarantee that i will never skip going to a race in favor of watching someone else's shaky point of view.... especially when that race is over 500 miles away from home and. I save my vacation days for sprint week...

Let's be honest I enjoyed the ones who did it for the eastern storm, as I couldn't go, but nothing compares to being there in person. Definitely not great quality you couldn't really see much, I had race monitor up also so I could see who was actually in each position. It is good for people who can't be there but I highly doubt it will keep people from actually attending a race. Periscope is good for fan interaction, but by no means a reason for anyone to avoid going in person.
