I mean if true what Perris said that they loose 400 fans a night and some phone streamed video since they quit shows he stands a lot fuller Given Perris charges parking and a little more for everything that's easily 25-30k a night. He also said Flo was paying him 1K a race. Do the math, I don't know what USAC gets and how much of it they use toward purses.
Tracks are closing by the dozen. A track like Burg, Haubstadt and a few others can hold bigger events. But not if there not here anymore. And if something like weds happens. There's only one real loser now isn't there? Yet everyone gets paid and everyone gets to see it anyway.
It isn't about one particular streaming service, whether it be Dirt Vision, Flo or something else.
Some tracks individually stream, I doubt it's making them a fortune. It probably isn't costing them much to do it either, one camera and 50 buck to the camera guy, use the track PA as your voice feed and you're ready to go. It probably isn't costing them a great deal of fans, and the promoter can use the stream to leverage sponsors. But the local stream is generally under the promoter's control.
No so for the larger streaming services, whose agreements are with the sanctioning bodies, not the individual track promoter.
