Thanks DoD!!!! FLO Now Included

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Same here. From here on out, until a new company fills DoD's void, you pay an extra 50 bucks for your DoD and get Flo whether you want it or not.

YouTube tv just pulled the same crap on me.

So Mr. Ricochet you don't care to get the World 100 or the Dream? Just curious.

YouTube tv just pulled the same crap on me.

Same here!! Cut the cord 5 yrs ago and love it to death. Cut my bill from 110 a month to 50 and got more content and flexibilty. Chose Playstation Vue as my provider and it was incredible able to record 75 shows at the SAME time. Literally never had to watch a commercial the rest of my life. A few months back they closed up shop and I chose You Tube tv for the unlimited DVR capabilities for 50 bucks a month.

Last month they did just what DoD has done. Added unwanted content and increased the price from 50 to 65 a month. Cancelled them just like I'm gonna do with DoD.

I'm a LM guy, period, and DoD gave me that in spades. Looking at Flo they have the same exact LM archive and upcoming events as DoD but now I get 37 classes I don't want. Don't want Radial Tire, Small Tire, Index, Grudge, Micro Sprint, Big Block racing but I got it and 50 more a yr for my troubles.

My $59.99 a year Lucas Oil Racing TV Subscription looks better and better every day.

So Mr. Ricochet you don't care to get the World 100 or the Dream? Just curious.

I want and watch any LM race. Any one of them and will pay for the pleasure. I do not want midgets, Index, Bracket, Small Tire, boat racing, kite flying, go karts, drag races or turtle races. I want LM, will pay for LM and nothing else. DoD has just created an opportunity for a company to step in and fill the void for LM fans ................ I'd imagine Lucas will get a bump in subscriptions soon.

I'd guess this is a good day for those who have Flo and DoD already. They get what they've already been getting but at 50 less a yr. So DoD doesn't add customers they will lose some but those who stay get clubbed 50 more a yr............ The bean counters must think it's a good trade off. 50 more a yr from those who stay or are new at the expense of losing some meaning less eyes on their content for advertising revenue purposes.

They just earned my 100 bucks. As mentioned I bet Lucas will get a bump in subscriptions cuz DoD vacated the market for all intents and purposes.

And again, if there is real money in this someone will come along and fill the void DoD created.

There is some barrier to entry as far as permission to film

[Trax53]

I had both, so this will eventually save me $100 a year. So much live racing! Don't knock it til you try it!

Certainly. DoD, Dirtvision and Flo pay a series or track for the rights to film. Just like Nascar, NFL or any other entity. And as we know the NFL, Nascar and every other sport changes every few yrs taking the highest bidder to film and carry their product.

Let the free market decide but there is no free market without competition. I believe DoD, Flo and Dirtvision are owned by the same company, no? ......... If so they'll gouge until there is competition.

The Dream and World 100 will only be available via Flo and its included with subscription. If they were PPV they would be about $100 each. If you can't see that value then I can't help you.

[TTS_JF]

I had both as well, and actually flo has me watching ten fold the number of sprint races I've ever watched before.

Dirtvision is owned by World Racing Group aka World of Outlaws / DirtCar

How so? You paid 100 a yr each for DoD and Flo now you pay 150 for both, correct? If so that'll save you 50 bucks.

[Mister Ricochet]

Dirtvision is owned by World Racing Group aka World of Outlaws / DirtCar

So Dirtvision is owned by a different corporation than DoD and Flo? ........ If so that's good for the fan.

[Mister Ricochet]

The Dream and World 100 will only be available via Flo and its included with subscription. If they were PPV they would be about $100 each. If you can't see that value then I can't help you.

I did not ask for your help but am certainly receptive to it if I'm missing something. Sure I'd watch the Dream and World 100 but would not pay for it as a single PPV race nor would I pay an extra 50 a yr to keep DoD to watch it. ........ In other words there is no one event I must see. What I liked most about DoD was seeing So Nats and Mars type races. I was exposed to really underrated drivers and tracks.

And besides can I trust DoD to show The Dream or World 100 despite them showing it on their schedule? For months they had 3 full days of The Nationals at Cedar Lake on the schedule and 3-4 days ago out of nowhere they yanked it.

Interesting timing of all this. Unemployed or under employed at 30-40% and the 3rd quarter GDP contacting more than ever before, more than The Great Depression, and DoD raising prices 50% for LM fans.....
