A lot cheaper than Dirtvision at $39.99/ month = $479.88/ year. Plus than they want $59.99 for the Cedar Lake US Nationals.
Just cancelled my DirtVision subscription and will be getting DoD/Flo and keeping my Lucas Oil Racing TV at $59.99 a year with no additional costs for the big paying specials.
Logged into flo. Made the correct changes. Just watched a ton of open-wheel racing, but where is the late model content?
The site is difficult to navigate for me, it's poorly done. Click Events, give it a few seconds it's slow, on the right at the top you'll see Class, click and a drop down menu appears, click LM. Then you'll notice it's an archive and scheduled races put together and except for BedFord Speedway and Street Stocks the completed races and scheduled races are the EXACT same races as are at DoD.
It is REDUNDANT, if you are just a LM fan, only a LM fan, Flo is useless to you as it has the exact same LM races that DoD has.
As I mentioned after perusing Flo for 5 minutes yesterday if you're a LM fan Flo offers you zero cuz you already get what they have at DoD.

That page is actually a calendar and it defaults to today. You either scroll up for past races by date or down for future races by date. The fact you can sort by Class, Date, Series or Track is pretty good! I don't see where you can do any of that on DoD, it's just a list by date.
Oh, and as I already mentioned, you only now get numerous live races due to the fact DoD was bought by Flo. It was not like that prior. You had to pay an additional PPV fee on top of your subscription for almost every single event! With just one or two races you were then paying more than you would pay now for a year of Flo. I'm guessing you are new to DoD and live events.
As a DoD subscriber, it looks like you have to pay $50 more to get what you were getting before for a yearly sub (when your current sub runs out of course) but as a non-subscriber already committed to Flo, I haven't figured out a way yet to subscribe to DoD without purchasing a duplicate Flo membership.
Pro tip- If you click on "Add to calendar" on the Flo Events page, you will get daily emails of upcoming races each day. This comes in handy when Flo is showing multiple races that day or you just forget about or don't know about an upcoming race.
My mind was made up in 5 minutes yesterday when I saw that Flo gave me zero LM action that DoD did not. No biggie at all for me although I very much liked DoD and was happy to support them and the racing community.
If this thread is an indicator maybe 70% are happy with the combining of the two sites, so that's a good thing. Race fans get what they've been getting for 50 bucks less a yr and hopefully it makes Flo/DoD a bit more profitable for them.
Guys like me move along and subscribe to Lucas and get the top LM curcuit there is and next yr I'll buy a month of Dirtvision and get the WoO and most of the SN. ............... Let the free market speak and vote with your dollar. Great for the consumer.

It's a great time to be a dirt racing fan! No matter what tho, you will have to pay or look for a FB Live feed. Remember also with Lucas Oil TV you are limited to which races you get to see. They're getting better at showing more though. With that though plan on paying more next year or the year after!
Flo can only carry non-DV/Lucas shows due to their own contractual obligations. I don't think you'll see anymore co-broadcasts among the three. That means if you want the local/oddball series/tracks LM races, then Flo is where it will be.
The fact you can sort by Class, Date, Series or Track is pretty good! I don't see where you can do any of that on DoD, it's just a list by date.
TD you are making my point about how DoD "was". They do not need a menu where Class is an optional cuz it "was" All Late Model All The Time. That was the point, you came to DoD specifically and only for LM. Now for 50 bucks more you get 18 more classes, and I see I'm in the minority, that I have zero interest in.
But I will miss the So Nats and I'd guess would like the Fall Nats too. As a born, bred and will die Yankee these tracks and drivers were new to me and I really really liked the racing, the tracks and announcers. Very impressed with the Chiltons, Hardys, Paynes, Knuckles', McIntoshes, Kings and on and on that were brand new to me.
I've got LORTV @$59 yearly, DoD was $99 and now Flo. next year as of now
will be $150.
Have bought 5 Fast Pass'es this year $170.
I dont mind paying a little more
for some but I want to see some return on my investment.
I am done with DirtVision as of now, just because their streams
have gotten so bad lately with freezing buffering completely
loosing the stream and the quality of production is a disgrace
to any company big or small.
Most of time only 1 camera and I could almost swear that they
are using a Motorola Razor flip phone from 1997.
Then they have got very few cars running the complete series.
The pit announcers are a joke.
Now this is the way I believe the story goes.
I say I'm done with this or that race but the truth be known
we are all alike if we are true race fans then it's just like being
on drugs,we are addicted simple fact.
It's hard to stop but some can,now I'm gonna do my best to
not go back to DirtVision unless some major changes are made.
It's a shame that we have been put in this predicament to start with
and most of us are dependent on the web to see some racing.
Up until this year I always went at least 2 times a week till we had the
chance to go more.
SHEEEEWWWWWW.
Flo has paid for itself many times over just since the Dream. With all of the midget races, All Star sprints, and the DoD late model races it has been fantastic. I’ll keep Flo\DoD and Lucas but dirtvision can kiss my @ss.

You keep complaining about additional content on Flo Racing that is not late model coverage. Well, only a fraction of the material on Lucas Oil Racing TV is late model content. They have TONS of other material covered on there as well.
