I don't think pricing is all Dirt Nation's fault. As with other PPV, they charge seat price. East Bay is a very expensive race for what it is. Fewer laps and no support class and not a great track, most of the time. I won't buy a ticket at East Bay or a PPV. I guess I may be just too picky on where I spend my money. $30 for a short race is nuts. Eldora was $32 and 100 laps. Going by laps alone, not including, that anybody who is anybody is at Eldora, that makes these short races worth about $14.

I can't speak for the live pay per view action as I do not have it. I do follow their page on FB and watch all of their video clips. Not sure if the live interviews are done by the same individual that does the FB interviews, but if it is, please ask more credible questions. Helps to check your volume controls as well. Quite a few vids have been amateur at best. Twice they interviewed ONeal, and both times you could tell Don was a lil fed up with the questions he was asked.
I'm not bashing on Dirt Nation, just some constructive criticism. I'm all for any promotion of the sport. I hope they succeed and do nothing but get better.
I would also be shocked if the subscribers to Lucas TV are blocked out this weekend. They would never let it happen. Might just as well shoot yourself in the foot if your Lucas.8/13/16Comment

That's what I said, but the DN people seem pretty assured that they will be the exclusive provider of live coverage come Saturday. Still haven't gotten a reply from Lucas Oil.Originally posted by Highside Hustler25 View PostComment

Unrelated to Saturday, I noticed the Lucas Oil TV banners in the video highlights last night, which isn't surprising, but Bobby Pierce said it was a TV race....not a live race, but TV race. That means it will probably be shown on MavTV and be available on Lucas TV at some point.Comment

I don't know any thing about Dirt Nation at all, but as far as as I'm concerned I am completely satisfied with LucasOil TV and Dirt On Dirt.With what I've watched so far and having the archives, I feel was worth the $60.and $80 I paid.
There is no way I can afford the price of Dirt Nation's PPV.Comment

That's a good point. I kind of remember Rigsby saying in the chat during one of the DoD PPVs last year that they had to charge seat price. He didn't elaborate, but I assume at some places that is part of the deal the track requires so people won't stay home to watch the race cheaper...and that is fair. I'd prefer to pay less, but I'm just happy to be able to see races out of my area.Originally posted by Bubstr View PostComment

I got a couple of PPVs from Xsan, which became Racefeedx.com. If you look at the RacefeedX site it is the same as Dirt Nation. It's only a guess, but I'm thinking Dirt Nation is a rebranding of RacefeedX.Originally posted by MEE View PostComment

I asked Lucas Oil TV about this. Their response is attached.Comment

I guess that's some false advertising by dirt nation to up there PPV buys. I do find it very odd that it won't allow me to buy the Saturday program without buying the whole week.Originally posted by W2Racing09 View PostComment

Right. If they had the exclusive broadcast it would be set up just like the other nights.Originally posted by huskerdirt View PostComment

I watched some of their free practice on Sunday and they were on there pretty much bad mouthing lucas tv saying that low price viewings of the events hurt the racers and track because it keeps people from coming to the race, they also claimed that most of their proceeds went back to racers which I find hard to believe.Comment

Not a lot of truth in those statements from DirtNation, XSan, Racefeed or whatever they are calling themselves these days.Originally posted by GRT62 View PostComment

I just don't get why all the beef. If LOLMDS is running anywhere you would think that Lucas OIL TV would have the rights, anytime and everywhere. Lucas Oil TV would have been my first place to look. And I did and they had it on their site. If you can afford $180.00 for the 5 or 6 races. You certainly can afford $60.00 for the year. WTFComment

Dirt on dirt is 89$ for 6 nights
Dirt nation wants $30 a race for the cheap broad cast or more for HD, or you can buy the week for like $180-200$
Thats insane.
They would have gotten another buyer if the price was reasonable. 90% of the people that buy the broadcast WAS NOT going to florida anyhow. It was just extra income for the tracks. We had a talk with them on sunday night in chat and they were slamming us fans for bitching that it was to much. Saying they had negotiated price with track and it pays the point funds lol. I cant stand dirt nation.Comment
