Do race promoters have anything to fear from streaming video?

the people that are watching a stupid crappy facebook live video weren't going to the race anyway.

There's no way to compare the true effects of the Facebook Live webcasts, but it is good publicity. All the major sports want to get their games on free TV, and dirt racing should welcome all exposure.

I would never ever stay home from a race because somebody was going to post it live through their phone. There's nothing that compares to the smell and sounds of being at the track. Plus I've never seen one of these videos that was worth a crap. I do purchase ppv events but only of races that I wouldn't be going to anyway. Even professionally done videos for tv aren't that exciting to me. I've got a whole dvr of stuff I've recorded and haven't watched yet just because I get bored before I can get to the finish.

So your saying every video on DOD is from ppv. I dont think so

That is not what I am saying. It is my understanding, DOD pays for PPV that they show in real time. The other clips are not real time and classified as news. We see highlights of our favorite basketball team, and think nothing of it. What ever we say it is, the promoters should be pleased as punch. The object of advertising is to make you business title a part of everyday language across the country. Do you want them looking for some track out east, or VMS.

Look what good advertisement did for FALLs. FALLs always had good racing, but the U Tube races, made it a track that is in every fans vocabulary. Knoxville knew how important advertising was. For many years, they paid to show their own product on TV.
