This really shows what a dominating website, the "fan"tastic crew at DoD has built over the last dozen (or so) years....

Michael, Todd, Amber and the entire gang, have now become the industry standard, to what we as fans expect, from Late Model racing/reporting.

We are all very grateful and appreciative, for what they have built...

Now that big business has moved in, we may never get "all this" back.

[Barbecueboy]

They have come a long way from the wrapped ford wind star.

I mean, it’s now November. There aren’t many races even happening anymore. I agree there used to be more video coverage on DoD, but this season has been “unique” to say the least, and the sheer number of races in general was way down. They did add a whole bunch of live coverage of regional stuff this season which, in my opinion, added a ton of value to a subscription.

These other ppv companies are to blame IMO. They could share highlights and interviews with DoD, which are the ones that started this all for us years ago. I think we almost got spoiled in the earlier years of DoD because they had the market cornered, mainly because they were the only ones doing coverage on the races at all. Companies like speed51 are not going to give away what they want you to pay for unfortunately. I'm already on Flo, dirtvision, and lucas tv. I won't be paying for another live race provider that's going to show races like Richmond last night, it just won't be worth it. I dont think DoD is to blame here.

Is that like the FORD AERO STAR. Blackie still has one! 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

What I think you'll see next season is Flo increasing their LM coverage. They were lacking in this and with the purchase of DoD, I expect it to expand ten fold. There's a lot of events out there that people are interested in that DV/Lucas don't show.

The other 4b car with the blue nosepiece in that picture was driven by Richie Edwards. He’s used to work for Jackie and brought that car to the track using Jackie’s hauler. Richie had to have his right foot amputated a few years back but can still turn some pretty good laps. Boggs would’ve been proud of all of them last night

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Edwards has run good in the steel block class this year.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Nicely done tributes. I have no idea why, I wasn’t even a fan of Jackie’s, but it touched me. Him being gone just like that. I always felt he was real good, just didn’t like his driving style.

I for probably the first time, sent the family a couple things through the funeral website, just felt right.

[bleedblue55]

Then there were 3 tribute cars https://scontent.fagc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/123360869_198893784935562_2406220831006438325_n.jp g?_nc_cat=102&ccb=2&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=_Z04DOrEGQAAX-vTpLL&_nc_ht=scontent.fagc1-1.fna&oh=5e3dff4bcdee459e3255fc30249f210e&oe=5FC38D1F

Hey all ... thought I'd drop a note on this one.

There were set to be three ... 10-thousand to win shows this weekend, and we were either LIVE from or had highlights planned for all of them. (Wythe, Richmond, Pike County). (Not counting the Columbus, MS event that in years past we typically wouldn't have had video coverage from being that it wasn't a super late model event).

Wythe rained out, Pike County we had covered, and Richmond we did as well, until we had a shooter's car break down ... the MORNING OF the event! (ugh) ... He was literally on his way. We contacted every one we knew in the area and just couldn't get it covered. And trust me with them paying tribute to Jackie, it broke my heart not to have it.

Sometimes that happens, and it did this past weekend.

For reference, however ... we have covered more events in 2019-2020 ... by 34% than we have any other year. So any idea that our coverage is "less" ... or "not as much" in the past 12 months, or since Flo acquired the company simply isn't correct. Flo owning DoD has absolutely nothing to do with any of it, and they have encouraged DoD to continue doing what made us great! So we will continue to do that.

Hope that clears a few things up, and that everyone is surviving the year!

DOD did good, you had Richmond pics up last night. The Air Max/Tyler Carpenter tribute car is going to Charlotte so I'm sure it will get some exposure. Not sure if Dohm is heading there.

Is FLO going to have a bias toward Rocket Chassis drivers too? Asking for a friend...

[Jking24]

Is FLO going to have a bias toward Rocket Chassis drivers too? Asking for a friend...What bias do they have ? Its not their fault lucas, woo and the hell tour were dominated by rockets. this is racing what do you want them to do concentrate more on the guy's running 4th on back?

I'm guessing that understanding sarcasm isn't one of your major strengths.

To be fair, sarcasm over the internet is kinda hard to judge.

[zach51]

Penns, that is actually fair. It sounded more funny in my Arkansas-(un)educated brain than it did in text. But it was honestly mean to be a harmless joke. Me and SnakeX3 (which I haven't seen or heard from him in a while, I hope he is OK) have a running joke about how much DOD used to flaunt over the Rocket cars/teams (AKA Richards).

[Snake X3]

...and I'm that friend, friend. Thanks for asking.

[Jking24]

...and I'm that friend, friend. Thanks for asking.I don't actually care and i did think it was funny. I just get a kick out of how rowed up people get over dod standings and such. But for the most part this year and last have kinda been a landslide for team "Richards"

No unbiased reporting would be anything but crowing the amazing season B-Shep and Rocket have had this year....or last year. The thing is that DoD has always seemed very pro-Rocket, whether it's Richards in the past, or B-Shep and Erb more recently. Rigsby and Suave are the types of guys that get giddy over their teams, no matter what the sport. It's part of their personality. It's not that they are against other chassis or drivers, it's just they are in love with the Rocket boys no matter who is on their team. And that is fine. Who really cares? But denying it is the first sign.... not you DoD.
