If you have ever worked on a magazine, edited video, done high level photo work or anything else, you realize how much work it is.
I know we all work hard at our jobs, but when you throw in the travel these guys do, it's pretty incredible the dedication they have. And the amount of recognition and money is not commensurate.
MXSports has been improving the tv/internet package for us fans. I am sure next year will even be better.
Ideas for next year:
- After the 1st motos - have more interviews of riders not just top 3. Make it part of the agreement so they have to do it if asked. Would have been great to hear what Short had to say last race. If 1st motos are still on line it can be done prior to the 1st moto of the 250 race so there isn't any dead air and then after the 250 moto prior to sutting it down for the 2nd motos. I think this will bring more knowledge of all riders and not just the top guys. It should not be about thanking sponsors - it should be about their thoughts on the race and their competition. Their sponsors logos speak for themselves.
- Spend more time on some of the back markers race. There are some good racing of those in all positions. Can their be a split screen. We could see Dungey winning and then short getting passed by KDub in the last corner.
- Show more of the womens race - this is a large participant / fan based growth opportunity. The ROI could be substancial.
- Can the shows be rerun during the week. This is a chance to gain viewership and sponsorship. Most of us moto fans DVR all the races but for a casual fan watching speed on a wed night and sees the race - they can become hooked. And for sponsorships - if businesses see their logo multiple times a week they are more likely to sponsor a team or rider or series.
Thanks DC - I do watch all races and usually go to 1-2 races and always have a great time.
Golf-Cart goes by me as I'm walkin back to the Rig, "Hey! Get In! We're goin' to the creek!"
It's DC & his kids. Smilin', enjoying the day...jus' lovin' life.
If EVER there was a day to be "Burned Out", for DC it was THAT day.
PERIOD.
But, NO! They(He & his kids...) were lovin' another day of racin'...
I don't think these folks know how to have a bad day at the races.
I'm jus' knowin'...
BTDT
I think that is what DC means. Not much money in being a promoter/ track owner.
man i am so tired of hearing that tired story!
Being able to check in any time and any place with a connection (which is most everywhere)
is very cool.
One improvement DC, raise your advertising rates. Give the wife and kids a prime South Seas vacation this year.
Raising the rates isn't easy, especially in tough times.
How are paper prices lately? LOL

I don't know how you manage having a family, running a magazine, national series, restaurant, etc. but as a fan, I appreciate everyone's hard work at MX Sports, and Racer-X.
You know the answer.
Try reading it the way it's written, which is putting the post race show together isn't his real job. It's a lesser priority among the other tasks attending running the series and the magazine. It's been delegated. That's the point of what he wrote isn't it, obviously out of frustration, not your smart ass twist his words suggestion.
i didn't "twist" anything...i stated "so what is your "real job"?
my guess is you were pokin all the holes in my question that a good lawyer could poke!
thanks for all of your hard work Davey, most of us are extremely grateful for every thing you have done for the sport.
ahahahahahhaha!!!!
