I can feed a kid in Africa for pennies a day. People don't pay for subscription services very often. We are predisposed to accept ads so that content is free. People cut the cord every day. $90/yr, 8.33/mo, $3000/lifetime, it doesn't matter how you slice it.Modern Day Spec Wedge Racing

I agree with you on that, reward system being loyal to them. I use do year to year myself, But last year I went 2 or 3 mths without it, then pick it up for mths or so. dec, Jan. I don't see it being worth it and should be half price or free before speed week. Nothing really going on them two mths, March is when most racing start really picking up cross the nation.Originally posted by Illtsate32 View PostIt will be a year in Feb for me not having it I havent missed anything..if they would throw in some live races here and there with the subscription it would be well worth it. Not even the crown jewels just some good shows throughout the year. Its not that the price would set me back but why when I can find the same info somewhere else for free...
I don't know why they don't do free live podcast on YouTube. They could make some money off that and pick new subscribers. I would think right now they would do more live casting talking to drivers getting off season info on drivers. What drivers/crew chiefs/chassis builders think about new rules, new events, ect.

I find DoD indiscernible if I want to follow the sport to the degree that I want. They talk about making good money and they are entitled to a reward for the great job they do, but I don't see the need for the increase unless there are significant increases in content being offered. The fans that have supported them should get a break for helping them get off the ground. And I agree with the masses here...subscribers should get a deep discount on PPVs. Even RacinBoys does that.

Budget is the key word for me. I have a set amount I spend on DLM racing and DoD is part of that, along with LucasTV, PPVs and live races. And with all of that money being spent, I'm still way under what I was paying to go to a few NASCAR races a year.Originally posted by MI Dirt Fan View PostAre you going to buy it for everyone then? Definitely not in my budget.

Take heed fellow race fans!! Blackie interjects another basic truism for public consumption. Nice job sir, you are spot on.Originally posted by Mindwalker View PostOn the contrary... Not enough bitching is the reason for it continuing to increase in price. Folks just don't find it worth it, that simple. What don't you understand?

Definitely not in my price range for what they offer (can find 90%+ of the information for free on other sites like this) , Lucas Oil Racing TV is what I subscribe to, endless amounts of racing and when I want to watch it plus there is DirtVision and then ordering a few PPV's here and there. The problem with most things like DoD, cable companies for example is if there is a decrease in subscribers they feel they need to increase/raise their price to make up for lost revenue, when instead they should be lowering prices to get more people back and then they would be back up to the same or even more revenue. I don't find the prices of live dirt race tickets at the track bad, but look at a lot of other sports events like football, Nasacar, etc. with all the empty seats and high ticket prices where the average family could never afford to attend anymore.Originally posted by mudmaker View PostJust saw the email this morning that the price was going up another ten buck on automatic renewal. $99.99 a year.
Sorry DoD, you have outpriced your usefulness for me. Was questioning if it was worth it at $89. Definitely not worth another ten dollars for occasional info on racing when there are still so many other avenues of intel. Plus it still costs more for ppv.

Same here. I like DoD and they do a good job, but why the price hike? It’s not like any bills have seen a substantial increase. If they come on here and shoot us a legit answer, props. And as a paying consumer, I at least should here because we want more profits.Originally posted by kidrock View PostThis is not going to be an easy decision because I do like DoD just not sure as the price keeps going up if it's worth it to me.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.

I’ll start out by saying I love DoD and everything they have done for the sport. I love that you can watch race highlights of a regional race two states away in less than 6-8 hours after it concludes. For the people saying you can find that on other sites, you’re completely wrong. No site gives you race highlights and recaps of almost every race paying 3,000 to win or more. The other side of the argument is if we’re going to pay increased prices, then I hope we get more content. Maybe Michael will get on and explain why the increase in price.
