Everyone brings up valid points and concerns about live broadcasting.
I updated the Races On The Web website to hopefully answer some questions. I am not the normal webmaster for the website, nor am I the owner of ROTW. However I have worked exclusively with them since 2004 and I can say without a doubt, we NEVER do a Pay Per View broadcast unless we are completely confident in the equipment and available internet.
We work with people to try and resolve technical issues. Even when people are signing up we try to make sure they complete the registration process correctly by emailing them and returning phone calls (if we get them).
I have ran live broadcasts from Thunderbird Raceway (Michigan) for over 2 years and recently the last couple weeks of the season at Kokomo. I plan to be running the broadcast for the Rumble Series as well.
ISF-
I have read your concerns and tried to address them by fixing the ROTW website (was not aware of the issues before Monday evening) and with this post. I always encourage people to attend the races in person if at all possible, but if you can't I hope you would give us a chance.
If you or anyone else has questions or concerns please feel free to contact me anytime:
