Another Enhancement!!!!!!!!!

[RobbieRacer]

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.

Interesting math, They subtracted a benefit but will bring you more in the future. You had one, now you have none. Soon you will have, in theory, anything greater than none. They can't lose. As far as they can see. Which isn't far.

I too, listen to almost every event especially on Sundays. This is really disappointing.

I decided to buy the ALL ACCESS package and it is great. Got in on the $49.98 deal which became $67.21 in CDN money. Tons of sportsman runs,some up close camera work, really enjoying it.

It started out good and they have improved on it each race. I watched some of the Super Comp races at Charlotte and they had a camera on a cherry picker looking rig looking right down on top of the drivers as they were preparing to stage.
At Atlanta was watching Super Stock and caught Mike Volkman waving at the camera in the shutdown after his semifinals win. Thought that was pretty cool myself.

Ok, now I'm questioning this "enhancement!" How long ago did you purchase the AllAccess? I bought it while in Charlotte in April, and paid the full price!!

The live audiocast - Many tracks (Joliet for example, many sportsman are parked under or on the other side of the power lines) and the radio reception is non-existent at times. I have tried different radios, powered antennas, etc. Not much help. I know many have connected the audio from their phone to their radio to hear the announcer/calls. This was a great help when trying to keep tabs on whats going on. With this being said, the 'all access' could fix this, but at many national events my data on my phone is very limited. I have at&t, no limits i'm aware of, and last year just sending/recieving a text can be difficult at times. I believe it's due to the number of people at the event over working the local cell capability. I would be surprised if this year 200+ sportsman in the pits could stream the all access video at the same time from their trailers. (which would be cool to watch when servicing car between rounds) Maybe an audio only selection on the all access site could help here using less bandwidth?

I have purchased all access. It is, for the most part great. Only issues i have is that most of the time the camera is at 1000' so you cannot see the action at the stripe for the sportsman races we all want to see. Also the feed only allows for ~30min of past video so if i'm not available to watch right as it happens, I need to wait until next week for the complete video to be uploaded. It is real nice, but could be better.

Robbie-

Which email did you send it to? I would like to send my concerns/thoughts above.

Thank you.
