I watched the flo race, I came away wanting to see more and will do so. The action at the smaller tracks is what I enjoy, Charlotte for me personally, I just don't like how the place races. Personal choice.
    47 supers. 8th grader could run the track better. I agree not a very racey track.

      I don’t see the XRDL lasting beyond this year.

        I don’t see how they are making cash unless streaming is way bigger than I think it is.

            There has to be some other money behind it or it will go belly up. Especially if people knew how much they paid for SAS. But that seems to be the big question. I have been saying for the last few weeks this guy will either be the next Roger Smawley or Cody Sommers. Time will tell which it is. Too bad he won't do interviews so more people will get to know him, what his goals are, and how he plans to get there.

                So just out of curiously, who on this board has an actual XR subscription? I know myself that with the lack of publicity and information coming from the XR folks I have not signed up to watch their races. Sure as a DLM fan, I sometimes feel I am missing out, but in all honesty, between actually going to 15 to 20 races a year, plus watching FLO and Dirtvision on a regular basis that is more than enough. My wife is understanding, but there is more in life than spending four or five nights a week watching dirt racing on streaming services.

                  My exact thinking. I already have (FLO, MAV, and Dirtvision). Four streaming services would be too many for me. To be honest, three is too many. I go back and forth with dirtvision. I normally keep it for summer nationals and Florida speedweeks.

                    XR doesn't put a list of events on their app, I won't subscribe until they show what races are included other than XR series.

                      Meanwhile the local $1200.00 win races continue to get snuffed out by the big guys.

                      Not that I even agree with tracks paying so little to late models anymore, anyway.
                      If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

                        I am in the same boat, except I have Flo and MavTv. I do buy DirtVision occasionally and did get XR for Bristol which was a big mistake (very boring races there and dragged on for ever, but All Tech was much better). Hard to spend an extra $40. for Charlotte on XR when there is an excellent field of cars on the bullring tracks in Illinois when you already have Flo. And my wife loves racing but there is a limit like you mentioned.
                        Hard to beat DoD/Flo Sports at $150./yr and then MavTv at $60/yr (grandfathered in since being a subscriber from the start.
                        DirtVision and XR could learn from those 2 regarding price, but at least DirtVision has the WoO Sprints and many tracks signed up for their $40 a month charge compared to XR.

                          We have Flo and Mav full time. Just got XR for 30 days, which covered the last Bristol weekend and the current Charlotte races. That’s six events for $40. We don’t do local races anymore, so this kind of replaces those, and we spend a lot less overall.
