For those who missed it, or those who want to see it again, USAC in conjunction with Eldora Speedway and Mills Video Productions is airing the 30th Annual Four Crown Nationals from Saturday night at the Big E tonight at 9PM EST/6PM PST at this address:
Tune in to see Kyle Larson make history by becoming just the second man to sweep the USAC portion of the Four Crown Nationals at Eldora...Shot by myself, Craig Jensen and Trenton Darland and produced and directed by Eldora's Jonathan Bateman, you will see every lap of this historic event.
This is great, but what I would really, really like is a DVD of this event. This, the Gold Crowns, and other great races I know were captured by the magic eye of Dean Mills.

Personally, I've never felt that live streaming should EVER be an alternative to actually going to an event. I hope that my fellow race fans were never to say to themselves, "Ya know, I'm just going to stay home tonight, save my money and drink a beer in my easy chair while I watch the races on my computer." That should never be the case. It simply cannot hold a candle to actually being there. However, if a person simply cannot make it, or lives in another part of the country (or another country altogether), then I think it's cool that we can bring some events to them. Maybe it will inspire them to visit a racetrack, region, or possibly become a fan of a racer they might not normally be exposed to. That, in my mind, is the benefit of live streaming.
Unfortunately, I think it's the future of the sport. In time, it will be harder to get people to come out as gas prices continue to rise and traveling becomes more costly. I think you will see a more concerted effort in moving toward live pay-per-view streaming. And while it's not the same as actually being there, it's better than nothing.
That said, I still would encourage everyone to go to as many races as they possibly can get to.

Bingo! That's precisely the point.
Just a reminder, tonight's coverage of the Four Crown Nationals from Eldora Speedway is just over an hour away from beginning. Tune in to:
I agree with you Dean, but 1 night last year after having surgery I could not go to Kokomo. I watched the live feed , and there were people alot of people on the live chat that live right here in Indiana. I kept looking at the empty seats and felt guilty and turned it off. Usually if I can't go to a race the last thing I will do is sit in front of a computer waiting to see what I missed. I usually just check the results in the morning. Thanks for your hard work.
