Someone asked why I didn't attend if I lived within 30 minutes, I said in an earlier post I am scheduled for a surgery and having been going to races at ventura for over 30 years, I know how brutal cold it can be and didn't want to risk anything, and didn't want to leave MOM home alone on Thanksgiving. For people who have never attended a race there, you have no idea how cold it feels, the announcer, Chase expressed how cold it was early in the evening, and even Kyle Larson said how cold it was.

On the PPV, I can understand people being mad, but from past experience I know many times the issues I had was with my computer connection, and not always the PPV. I know if I purchase PPV, there a good chance to have issues, the two race tracks I don't really fear this is for chilli bowl (does get choppy, but could be my internet) and Knoxville.

For those in know which is not me, almost anything can be hacked on the internet, but you do risk viruses, etc. But I've been in the past to watch races from AU and NZ.

Anyway, sounds like the racing was awesome last night, but alot of down time in track prep, which is pretty typical of ventura. The mains are almost always awesome, but its damn cold and the track needs some/alot of care during the night. not everyone's cup of tea, but I sure do enjoy the mains. But knowing this ahead of time, I could not attend turkey night this year in person but plan to next year. FYI, if you purchase PPV for a sprint car event, I always expect a few issues. If I can attend the race in person, I ALWAYS TRY TO ATTEND and avoid frustration of internet connections.
