OK, We have Lawrenceburg, Gas City and Brownstown not allowing live streaming for those who can not be there. I need to know what tracks are going to allow live streaming so i can make my decisions what track im going to. Thinking about making the 3 plus hour trip to Kokomo instead of Brownstown, which is only an hour away.
I will try to support those tracks who support their fans.

Russ; I disagree. With the popularity of racing message boards nowadays, disgruntled individuals can make things very difficult for a promoter, with or without just cause. I remember last year Duke posted that a race at Eldora had been rained out when in fact it hadn't. It's about time that people realized that there can be ramifications to what they choose to type.
I think Dave has done a great job at L'burg and I wish him continued success. I just wish I had the opportunity to hand him some of my money tonight!

We have VERY limited space at Brownstown for anything, our tower is like a sardine can as it is. Its not that we dont want to, its just a matter of logistics.

I would call what I do more of a career than what Duke claimed
so, dave is letting the opinion of one LOSER affect the thousands of other race fans around the globe, who would love to be there but can't?
C,mon Dave.... it's sprintweek! You're not gonna get more fans there tonight because of a blackout so why do it?

Now that your saying Brownstown is not going to allow the live streaming for those who cant make it, i may reconsider going. I was only going to be able to make it 2 maybe 3 at the most. I still may go ahead and come to Brownstown since it was my must see out of all the tracks, but maybe not now?????. Wil be a hard decision now!!!
OH GEE.................
That is by far the dumbest reason ever to not go to a track to watch a race.
Just because a track wont let the races be broadcast live over the internet is no reason not to go to a track. if you don't go to the tracks that wont allow them to broadcast you might make 2 of the sprint week races only and miss out probably the best ones. Just be happy you still have tracks to go to, to watch a sprint week.

We will not be streaming live video from the first two rounds of ISW at Lawrenceburg and Gas City.
Gas City has a track policy against that, and as we know, Dave Rudisell from Lawrenceburg has been kind enough to allow us to stream on occasion, going against his track's policy a couple times in the past. However, he told me we won't be going live at any point tonight. PERIOD. He also said flatly, "you can blame Duke Cook for that. He ran his mouth about how he had to wait around while we were at intermission and so we just aren't going to stream tonight..." And he said, "you can quote me on that..." So, I am.
So there you have it. Duke Cook ruined it for everyone. As usual. Sorry folks.
We will return with a live stream on Sunday night at Kokomo Speedway.
Thanks for your interest in the live streaming. Sincerely,
Dean Mills

Bummer deal,was looking foward to watching the races tonight.
To add onto the Brownstown thing, I did a live webcast from Brownstown last September for the Jackson 100, only because I brought my Blackberry and tether and mic and streamed through Ustream.com. I already had the space in my little corner of our sardine can tower for my laptop and mic. Not even the Lucas Oil Late Models are able to broadcast from Brownstown due to the limited space. I honestly wish the fairboard would tear down the old grandstands and renovate. Those stands have been there for over 50 years and I dont even feel safe walking on the roof of it.
Ill talk to my promoter and see what I can get worked out for Thursday, if not ill keep everyone updated somehow.

Later, JERSEY
I am not able to make it to a lot of races each year and really enjoy the live streaming from those tracks that allow live streaming, allowing me to at least see it on the computer. Since im at home more than i can go. when i am able to go i think i should support the tracks that allow live streaming for the nights i cant be there to watch. I cant make it to Lawrenceburg tonight or Gas City tomorrow night so it would have been really nice to have been able to watch it on the computer tonight and tomorrow. I am sure they are others like myself that can not always be there every week so i figure if i support those that do allow it such as Kokom when i can go, then maybe they will conntinue to allow the live streaming when i can not go.
Suck it up! Remember snail mail for racing results. It's absolutely ridiculous to have the expectation that a track must stream to your couch. Fans in the stands support tracks, not message boards trolls who think they should have a right to watch a race for free.
Do your part and go buy all the technology to stream, go buy a track so you can stream races to the net. Think of the money you'll save on not buying/building grandstands since no one would need to attend the event! Great idea!
I don't sit in the grandstands but I run in to those who b#tch and moan all night about anything. Go watch soccer!
