Thanks to Turn 2 Media on the Nationals video coveage. Felt like I was at the races.
Pros: No Commercials, Get to see whats going on at the track,(motorcycle races, Bud Horses,etc.) not media related interveiws, but the drivers that earned them. Track announcers were great.
Cons: None, worth every penny. Thanks Guys from those of us who couldn't be there this year.

I will agree with everything but the track announcers part. I prefer Bill and Hotrod just because they are speaking to people that aren't there instead of trying to fire up the grandstands.
I will say big plus to the Bud Clysdales, Pork Chop and the other extra stuff Knoxville had going during the excessive downtime.

I also appreciate the opportunity to purchase the live video stream, as there was just no way I could swing making it up there this year...too many back-to-back special events going on down here.
Pretty simple deal, I just hooked up my S-video cable to my laptop along with an audio cable plugged from my headset directly into the flat screen and it wasn't a lot different than watching it on TV to begin with.

Speedbump is 99% correct, only problem I had was had to refresh screen twice 1 during a race and the other on a red flag.
Enjoyed the coverage.

I did have major troubles and didn't get to see anything past the first restart of the A main but it was Wi-Fi issues on my end.
The first time it conked out was when Hafertape spun. My screen froze with him starting to go around...held for 5 seconds and advanced one frame to where he was completely sideways for another 5 seconds and then froze completly with the 20 car just inches from hitting him. I never did get to see the contact or the aftermath.
The last time this happened was in the middle of the first corner flip at the start of the A main when I shut it off and went to bed.
Again, this was not a problem with Turn2's stream....it was my Wi-Fi and computer not getting a good signal of my end of the line, top of the mountain DSL that is upstairs in the opposite corner of the house. All considered, I think the Turn2 stream is very good to even get me 3 1/2 heats plus the C and B.

We've loved the first two nights. Got a few buddies to split it 4 ways so it isn't too hard on the wallet. If the forecast were better, I'd sell my Grove pit pass tonight, go back home and put it towards the broadcast. Hopefully they'll have the broadcast tomorrow if it gets pushed to the afternoon. I may have to watch more often next year too. I'd rather watch the weekly Knoxville show on the computer than go to Lincoln or Port Royal.
