Now, as far as these complaints about USAC's use of Twitter etc, I think they are using it very well. USAC's goal is to put on a great show and get people in the stands. What incentive do people have to come to the races when they can stay at home and get all of the information from USAC's Twitter feed?

It's better practice to tell the fans at home what is happening without giving them every detail about what is happening. That way, they have reason to get out to the track and make it worth USAC's while.

There is no need to tweet every detail of the race. They are doing just fine with Twitter.

I agree to a point. However, your logic only works assuming everyone can GO to the races. I live 2,000 miles away on the left coast. I have family and friends in competition at Milwaukie tonight and they do not have time to “update” me. They are trying to win a race…

My only insight to the action is the updates provided by the wonderful postings by IOW regulars and UASC’s Twitter page. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to keep refreshing the page to get the latest update! “Five laps to go so and so leads”….then 30 minutes later the results are finally posted.

To USAC, I appreciate your efforts very much, but a few more timely Tweets would be appreciated by those of us who would be there in person if only we could.
