As I've stated many times on here, I know many many people who are within 10 miles of The Kokomo Speedway and instead of supporting the track, they now stay home and watch the race, via cell phone, computer, tv.
I've also seen on here many many times people ask how to get more fans in the seats, more crowd, newer crowd...well broadcasting it via internet, cell phone, computer, tv isnt gonna do it. $150/year for Flo, or go to races and pay $20-$30 per race...people who dont have money to spend, easy choice, $150/year for basically anything you want except WoO...$20/race gets you 8 races, tops...as Charles said what's getting better? The internet? Sure isnt the overall picture.
Sounds like some Hoosier folks are getting jaded about it, not surprising when you can go any time you want for decades. Some New Orleans people always leave town for Mardi Gras. For guys like me who live 4 hrs away from any good racing (if you consider wingers good) I'm glad I can watch on Flo & DV, but as soon as I'm relieved of my "elder care" obligations, I plan to hit the road & a bunch of races LIVE... much better!
We'll see how long it takes me to get burnt out....
