In my opinion USAC still has too many bugs in their live broadcast for PPV. They have been providing the video for free from certain tracks, find sponsorship money to continue providing the video for free.

The midget week races they had video for sure didn't seem to effect the crowd from what I saw. I think if any of us had a choice we would rather be at
the races in person but many times cann't be. USAC provides a great service to those of us that wish we could be there and cann't when they live stream the races. Many of those viewers are family members or fans of the competitors who live to far away to attend the races on a weekly basis. I know my retirement income doesn't allow me to attend nearly as many races as I use to and USAC's live streaming is greatly appreciated.

MY suggestion would to be show them a day or two later, that way out of staters could watch but people that live with in driving distance would have to go to see it live.People look for reasons to stay home,that's why cable and satilite TV are so popular.
