You should understand that videos also create fan interest.

If I had not seen that video, I would not have made the effort to go and see it for myself.
I understand your point of view. I am sure that seeing a full length feature video could entice folks to plan a trip to that speedway in the future. However, for a large, multi day event, we certainly don't need "immediate" video posted to damage the front gate, which in turn also causes issues with possible lower purse payout to the teams and undercutting the professional video people who have agreed not to post during the entire event. Highlight video clips are one thing, full feature video's are quite another.

I would like to think that this "early" video will bring in an additional 1000 paying custmers to the Kokomo Speedway. With that being said, I am realistic enough to know that probably won't happen.
