Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

Hi all, I just left NHRA's website after checking what time the audiocast for the N.E. Nationals was going to start today. Because I'm stuck at a desk Monday through Friday, I have the opportunity to listen in and stay abreast with how my favorite drivers and teams are doing on the audiocast stream. What a surprise I got(and not in a good way) when I found out that the audiocast has now been discontinuned in favor of the "All Access" live stream.......................... at a discounted price for the 1st 500 people to sign up. I can't accept that and I know my bosses would not like me watching video instead of doing my job. So a big thank you goes to the money grubbing people that run this organization that I've been a member of since 1968. Now I'm feeling the pain so many of you great racers are feeling about NHRA digging into my pockets. That just plain sucks!
Sorry Ken. This will force the "live" reporters to take even more of their time to get out the news and updates, of which we are all indebted to.
To all the sportsmen racers at N.E. God speed, have a safe weekend and go Team Port-a-Tree.

Feel your pain. Just kinda wonder how long it will be before the POWERS THAT BE will try and stop the "live from" feeds.

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

Guess I'm in the same situation. The "Boss" was ok with the streaming in the background, this is a no go.

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

Same for me this morning. Stupid A** NHRA

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

The suits:confused: at NHRA are a truly sickening bunch.

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

Soooooo what happen too being a NHRA member your suppose to be able to listen to live broadcast???????

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

surprised me this morning also when I went to listen to the audiocast. Then I got another kick in the nuts when I saw the "discount" for nhra all access. I paid full price for the service :(

Re: Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!
 

I wanted to try a Weekend Pass for Epping to see how the service worked but since the event had already started the only option I was given was to buy a Season's Pass. No.

I looked at the time zone converter linked in the FAQ and it was stupid complicated. I could just set a system clock in less time.

I'm, like, an old dude and I could figure it out better than this. They at least need an Apple TV app. Do people actually watch the drags on a laptop?

I sent the NHRA a "Im not Happy" email this morning. This is the responce I got.

Hi, Robert,
Thank you for letting us know how you feel. I'm sorry you're unhappy with NHRA's decision to discontinue the audiocast. The primary reason it was discontinued was that, unfortunately, very few people were using it even before the introduction of All Access. I understand your disappointment, and I hope we can bring you more valuable NHRA Member benefits in the future.
Sincerely,

Hummmm

Hey Robert, how do they know how many people are using it? Besides, it was supposedly a member benefit. I know racers that were using it in order to hear what's going on at the race because of their pit location to P.A. systems. Sounds like a lame excuse to me. I'll send an e-mail too.
Thanks for your response.
