I have physical limitations and a chronic illness that have hampered me from attending races on a regular basis since about 2005. This has drained my bank account of my racing funds plus a lot more too. I went to hundreds and hundreds of AAA/USAC races from 1955 until then. I ignored everthing including my family and other obligations to go to races for all those years. I spent every extra penny and every day of vacation on racing. I was physically ill if a missed even one race.
But my illness made me re-align my priorities. I still love racing. Just because I am not at a race does not mean I am lazy and sitting on my butt.
I think I am entitled to see a race or two streamed once in a while.
Do you get where I'm coming from? If not, it's your problem.
I feel for you and I am sorry that you cant make it to as many races as you would like. But to say you are ENTITLED to see races from home for free is just not right. All we are entitled to in this life is death everything else we have to figure out our own path.
