$40 for the season, well worth it.

I know listening to that last lap in the main on the webcast was worth it , I'm sure the TV broadcast tomorrow will fuck it up somehow...

Yes! Bought a bottle of Crown last night for just about the same amount and it'll only last about a week. The audiocast will last all season. I didn't have one single glitch! Get it. You won't be sorry. Good racing and good reporting.

I couldn't get it to work with my operating system so no. Back when it was free I had absolutely no problem getting it to work with my operating system.

$40 was money well spent.

Great commentary and interviews with the riders that you never hear on the Speed broadcast.
Glad the webcast is back.

Not happy it came to this, but $40 for my wife and I to be sittin starin at Live@the wire, and holding our breath on the last lap made for a great night. I've spent more on shitty dinners we didn't enjoy.

I'm over it. I spent $189 on 34 gallons of Diesel this summer, at least this will last all season. Smile

I gambled $5.99 that live wire would work with dial up.
It did, and it was well worth the 6 bucks I spent.
The last lap was the worth 6 bucks.
But, if Reed didn't chase Stewart around, not so much.

Same audiocast as last year...nothing new or special.
No technical difficulties either...buffering...cutting out...etc.

Good interviews with the riders and guests as always.

However, the down time at intermission seemed too long for me.

The intermission time is at the request of the live promoter.
They have to work on the track among other things.

The webcast guys are not the ones behind the long intermission.

Look at it this way you are getting more webcast time for the money....lol.

The video has nothing on the webcast, as a matter of fact, the webcast is way, way better than the TV broadcast. Well worth the money. We had a blast in the chat as well!

Thanks Sakai, you rock man!

This season is boring enough that a 6 month video delay wouldn't bother me. Dungey is the ony bright star to watch.

I have to admit I ignore those two talking on the video, but I'll take video with ignored audio over the constant yaking from the webcast.

Worth every penny... I was on the edge of my seat the whole 450 main event. And once again... If you break it down it was only 2.66 for the night. and i had friends over sharing the experience.

I don’t know about you guys and gals, but it eats me alive knowing a race is going on and I’m not able to watch or at least listen to it live.
Although Speed does a great job, they often miss some of the action that happens on and off the track compared to what Weege and Holley offer on the webcast. And I must say listening to Ralph and Jeff trying to dummy down the broadcast, as if the viewing audience has never watched a race before, is sometimes hard to take. So yes…the webcast is worth it on many levels.

Paid the dollars and got what I wanted.A good race uninterrupted coverage
.DMXS was fun too. I'd call that good value.
