2017 All Access

Jared Jordan · 11-11-2016, 12:27 PM

When All Access was announced early this year, I was as excited as I've ever been. FINALLY, I was going to be able to watch Stock and SS from my couch. At its inception, I was a huge fan. The coverage was excellent and literally the next best thing to actually sitting in the stands. Every weekend, I was glued to the race.

Something happened around Indy. I don't know what, but since then, it's been nothing but webcams and shoddy service. The last two national events have been in my home division. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the races themselves due to work commitments. I figured I'd get my fix via All Access. I was wrong. We've had nothing but webcams, delays, and early cut-offs. I've now missed chunks of the first Friday session of Stock at the last two races because nobody bothered to turn the camera on.

Sad to say this, but I won't be renewing my subscription for next year until I see via other users that the service has improved.

Iwill not be renewing either unless they get their stuff together!! This morning the camera crews were 16 minutes late getting started & I dont want to see just the back end of cars going down the track I want to see the wheelstands from the front!!!! They started off great like you say but INDY is where it all went south, biggest race of the year & we couldnt even watch class & I'm guessing NHRA doesnt care!!

I will renew it is great way to enjoy the races ,the coverage will improve next year as this is a very huge learning curve for the employees that are doing the filming they were new to this and i have met them they are getting better at every track as there are new problems at each one. The cost is very cheap for one years of entertainment . I suspect cheaper than the Starbucks people buy each day .LOL

I think they must be using a 5.00 webcam to film with, when I go fullscreen on my HDTV the picture is horrible

If you guys renew let me know how it goes. I may renew once that get going but the coverage starting midseason till now sucks compared to what we had initially. I heard they had gone way over budget and that's why the coverage was not as good the second half of the season.

Over budget?? At $95 per customer I would think this is another cash cow for the Glendora gang!
I will not be renewing either until I have seen the coverage improve.

Around $5.00 per race is nothing compared to any other entertainment ,Very inexpensive and worth it
