    Like what?

    Comparing the equipment DoD is using to Lucas Oil tv is like comparing an apple to a machine gun.

    Furthermore, these lucas oil tv races already have the production trucks on site when they tape the races for MavTv. It’s no coincidence that the same races that are tape delayed for tv are the same ones shown live on the streaming channel.

      I think all of the prices are reasonable, but if you are on a tight budget, tonight is probably the best value. You'll get to see basically all of the same cars and two features for $20. That's tough to beat.

        And over the head once again, Jesus. I figured you’d take it that way. Did I say he was into charity, no. The freakin point is, he has so many different areas he makes money, and has so much more capital, he can charge less for a given product. Because as a whole, he is still making good money. And it helps he owns most of the series on his TV/Internet viewing platform.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          Exactly, I'm lucas oil has a lot more resources than dod like sponsors and I'm sure they have it worked out with the tracks they run at that gives them the right to show on TV. While dod has to negotiate with the track itself that I'm sure they have to pay them or they get a portion of the ppv money.

            I remember 10 years ago on this board everyone complained they couldn't watch the races live. Why cant we get to the point where we can watch Eldora races from our couch if we had to work and couldn't make it there? Now 10 years later its happened and the quality isn't good enough, or the prices are too high. People complaining $85.00 is too much for 3 nights of racing. You can't make anyone happy. I'm pretty grateful to be able to have people over and watch the races live if I cant attend. Watching it live saves me over $500 bucks easily so I would never complain about what Dirt on Dirt does.

                Exactly.....it would cost me about $1500 to attend, so $85 is a heckuva deal!

                I would much rather be there but at least I get to watch it live on my big screen!

Sooner or later someone will figure out that selling in volume is more profitable and rights to races isn't permanent and advertisers may like a part of it.

                  One of the things for sales, is to make the buyer feel like he is getting more than his money's worth. From what we see, there are some that don't feel that way.If there wasn't a little truth in that, I would be commenting, not whining, according to you.

                  Some day the dirt ppv will be ferry profitable. I'm just a little too far over the hill to take it on. I can't even leave home for more than a few hours to go to a race. I'm limited to how long my oxygen hose is and I'm still deliberating on buying the ppv. As for myself, I would rather DOD fix it. I like them, but it seems they are charging me for the friends,relatives and guys at the bar,that watched for free.
                  Maybe you need one of the Inogen portables. https://store.mainclinicsupply.com/i....htm#&panel1-2

                    Thanks for the suggestion Clayton, but they don't make enough %. It takes one 4 foot tank an hour, to be on the safe side. I was just talking to a couple oxygen suppliers. I have COPD and emphysema. Painted too many cars and smoked too much. Now it's time to pay the price. Funny, that didn't kill you 75 years ago. If anyone smokes or works in dirty air,stop it. As my Dr. says, I traded money for years. I could whine as some here would say, but I earned it. I may try Sycamore SN race, if my friend will help.

                      What about PPV now that night one was rained out and is being ran during the day on Friday? Most folks that PPV do so because of work commitments. Our group will be working during the days events. I would love to apply last nights payment along with paying the difference for tonight’s program if that is an option.
                      I fully understand that buying ppv is like buying a ticket to the event and rainouts are a possibility, I can accept DoD saying that since they are covering the race that they are honoring the “rain check.” However, it would be nice if applying funds from the rainout to another (tonight’s) event was an option.

                        427 I would reach out to DoD, they are always great about helping people and I am sure they would do what you are asking. Seems pretty logical to me, they will still get your money and not make you upset and I am fortunate enough to work at a computer so we will streaming in for the day race at our office. Good Luck!

                          I wouldn’t be upset. I know the risk going in. Just in the spirit that some tracks let you use your stub at another event, it would be nice to apply our ppv money to an event we will be able to enjoy. I’ll send them an email. I really appreciate being able to have the convenience of ppv at a reasonable cost.

                            I've never tried watching on an iPhone via the app but I'm hoping to try today after buying last nights show. My work computer is strict and doesn't let any type of streaming occur. I guess they want me to be productive or something, tyrants.

                              Is there not a way to access the live video from the DOD app on my phone or am I just an idiot? Having to go through a normal browser sucks.

                                I've watched it on my ipad before with no problem, so I'd say your iphone will be good.
