so what did everyone think? i missed the beginning of the race. when i was finally able to sit down and watch it i was greeted by silence with intermittent blasts of a baseball game. looks like they have a few bugs to get worked. maybe it was just’s all the attention they put into Bill Weber’s hair… you know…. nothing leftover in the budget for good equipment?

Race Buddy can be cool IF you have a good ‘net signal – I used it yesterday, but out here in nowhere-land the camera shots kept freezing up on it. Y’all probably have 21st century internet access, in which case, IF it works, the shots were wayy better than the TV coverage.

H,
thanks for pointing that out, I forgot to mention that part too (cutting announcers off mid-sentence). As for the over-the-head camera, I could take it or leave it. I do like the fdact that you can see their foot work and their shifting…. I really like the wall cam.

Hi H!
Personally, while I’m happy they are televising the races for us to watch… I think they did a horrible job with their first broadcast. They lost sound, the commentators were hit and miss…. I mean Mr. petty lost himself in the middle of sentences…. the commercials. There was no logic in commercial placement, a few times they would cut away from the commercial to the action (not bad, but not very “professional” either. I guess I’d give them a C+ they did have some nice camera angles…. pit coverage was good too!

commentators
I was not impressed with the commentators I found it kind of hard to focus on what ever they were saying. Maybe it’s because it was their first race and they haven’t had time to build some chemistry. I miss digger already
