Interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for sharing JT. I always thought it was just to get a feature under lights, not safety reasons

Good 2nd place run Brady Short!!

Busted a guy for live streaming there last night. Normally I don't really have an issue with it but you know you're going to draw attention to yourself if there is someone there doing a PPV.

Was it in Turn 1 side of the grandstand?

Not sure where, just saw it online after.

And like I said R A K, I don't have a problem with people that do it. Plenty of people that are regular posters here on IOW that do it. But if there is someone like Speed Shift, The Cushion, etc there doing a PPV...then you should know that someone is going to take notice and not think kindly of it and they are perfectly within their rights.

From what I heard they still let him stay and watch the race. Some tracks wouldn't give you that option, you'd be escorted out and told not to return for the remainder of the season.

Was this individual using their phone for this crime? Or video equipment?
My point being ...
the individual live streaming likely paid to get in; the PPV crew likely didn't.
There were likely more free entry media/photographers present than paying race car owners and/or drivers.
Just an observation made as a contrast to someone getting "busted" at a little Indiana dirt track.

Usually a portion (always) a portion of the ppl goes back to the track; so Komomo made revenue by having the PPV guys there.

Glad to hear that tracks are getting fed up and cracking down on this free video stuff. There must be some motivation to do this stuff but it escapes me. Maybe they aspire to become some network camera operator or have a family member that can't be in attendance or buy the PPV. Doing the phone video deal would seem to be a distraction to the point of not being able to enjoy the racing.

The PPV crew didn't pay to get in?
That's like saying ABC didn't pay to get in to cover the Indy 500...
