    Has Flo abandoned super late model racing? There is hardly any on these days but races are taking place.

    I've wondered the same thing but, on a side note they've had some good sprint car racing

      They went all in on the lucas series, not much regional anymore. if dirt vision would get their price down i think i would like it better than flo 100%, even if it meant more commercials

        Dirtvision's user interface on computer and tv are so bad compared to Flo. Had an annual DV subscription last year but can't stand the lagging and spinning if you watch on anything but a phone. Wish Flo had more LM's too but the sprint car racing is good and its a good platform to watch on.

          One reason is lots of these regional series are doing their own streaming. Like Comp Cams and SAS used to be on Flo but now do it themselves. Also got HTFtv, Dirt Rich TV, Start2FinishTV and others. Personally i am not willing to pay $30/mo. that some of these charge to see a couple races a month. I sub to Flo and Dirtvision and believe i get good value for the money. Flo @ 150/yr. and Dirtvision usually can be got for 200/yr. between Thanksgiving and Christmas. As far as ads go Flo has crappy ones even political. Only ads i see on dirtvision are racing related.

            Even DoD doesn't have anywhere near the race replays it used to. I also kinda miss the chat function when you watched PPVs through them.

              I'm much more of a Late Model fan than of the Sprints. Maybe that's from too many years of a fendered career that played second banana to Sprints too many times. As well the Sprints have derailed or ended too many friends' careers.
              The center steer Modifieds, especially the STSS shows, are probably my new favorites. Never lived in an area where they ran so was limited in the number of times I got to see them. The racing is usually terrific and they've got some really super stars in their class.

                I'm a dirt late model guy to the core, but I also love the northeast mods. A bunch of great drivers and they put on a show for sure..

                  I agree I’ve always been a LM guy through and through but last couple of years I’ve become more intrigued by sprint cars and big block mods.

                    I know it is sacrilegious but I've actually really enjoyed the asphalt CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour this year. The racing has reminded me a lot of the NASCAR Busch series racing from the late late 80s up through the 90s when they raced on true regional short tracks. Been some hard close side-by-side racing. I've also enjoyed the High Limit Sprint car tour this year on Flo.

                      While I do not disagree I do have to say the replays they do have now are more complete, most of the WOO races are complete feature replays.

                        I miss chat too. Last time I saw Cardirt. Wonder if he's still with us?
                        Years ago, full screen was so crappy, I'd have chat open and a smaller race screen rather than go full screen for the Features.
                        Was Reuben "PKitty" the chat moderator? Thought I remembered someone calling PKitty Reuben, but not sure it was Ruben Mireles. Not sure if Flo was started yet then either.

                          PKitty is Patrick Davis who works for Flo and also announces at Lincoln Speedway.

                            Thanks! Guess my memory was way off. Was fun though. Wish they'd bring chat back.

                              Cardirt was banned a few yrs back and I don't think his health was to good. Idk what his new screen name is if he is still here.
                              Hey cardirt you still here?
