I now have a list of tracks and races all over the US that I am trying to go to that I never would have thought about going to if not for seeing them on streaming. Including Kokomo.
Eric, I totally agree with all of your points. 4 hrs one way for me. I love Kokomo Speedway, the promoters, the staff, the teams, the fans, and especially the racing. Streaming has allowed me to see tracks, series, racing, and drivers I could never have otherwise. Soon I can head to tracks new to me far and wide because of FLO. For now I get to watch Day, Dom, Golobic, Dewease, Wagner, Rahmer, Timms, Hahn, Westbrook, Flud, Bochele, etc. live because of streaming. IMO Kokomo needs to at least revisit the ROI of the FLO streaming option. By the way, spending and heading to GC & Kokomo to see, in person, the stars of MSCS this weekend due to streaming and the fact Haubstadt is too far away for a one off race for me right now. See you at the races.
