Define “All Access “
 

I’m well aware of what all access means but with NHRA involved perhaps the definition has changed. I’m thinking of springing the loot to purchase BUT only if it’s truly all access and I’ll see the 1st round of stock eliminator even when it is at 8am Friday morning.

Long story short - do they show ALL rounds of ALL classes ? Is it truly all access on demand ?

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Yes, sometimes its a little slow getting going in the mornings but I have had good luck. Plus, you can always watch the replay a day after the live feed. It's great garage music!

It’s a joke save ur money!

Re: Define “All Access “
 

The first year All Access was offered I remember watching the Charlotte race. Tail end of the pros and broadcast was 100%! Super Stock came on and I stopped working to watch. Was too close to lunch time i guess. Only 1 camera shown and that was abandoned focused on the starting line.... I think the announcer was still broadcasting, but the camera didn't move.....Last $ they got out of me

Now if the Division 3 live camera man (NHRA D3TV) took that service nationwide to all divisional races, I would gladly pay 3 or 4x the all access fee for that service!

I don't really care about the pros except maybe watch the final round. No Thursday sportsman broadcast is also...

Yep ! You nailed it !

Re: Define “All Access “
 

There is another thread here with a lot of folks that like it.

Is it perfect, no. Is this the second year I have subscribed, yes.

You can buy just one race if you want to try it out.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Most of the negative comments come from the guys that bash NHRA on a regular basis so you need to take that into consideration.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

So true !!!!!

Re: Define “All Access “
 

I don't care for the "Audio Only" first day offering and the single camera with limited staging graphics for Sportsman racing.

All Access to me means sitting in the stands or walking the pits at a race. If NHRA offered a product like NASCAR is capable of with qualifying order screen graphics and views of what's going on in the pits, then they would have something worthwhile.

Any investor will tell you you have to spend money to make money and I'm not sure NHRA is really up to that at this point.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

While All Access isn't great for sportsman racers I wouldn't want to be without it but I wouldn't be willing to pay more than $100 annually for it. The NHRA D3TV was great. I "thought" that all divisionals were going to be covered by NHRA D3TV sponsored by Bo Butner but haven't seen anything from Houston yet. I probably mis-understood.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Are u sure about that?

Perfect example the Arizona race they didn’t show any of stock until 3rd round.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

I don't think I ever implied it was perfect just that I believe it's worth the money for less than hundred bucks. Most of the problems they've had have been on their end but some have been on the consumers end as well. I still stand by my earlier statement that some would bitch if they paid them to watch it.....

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Coverage is good to great for all classes except stock which is for me why I would purchase it. I did the first two years. Even Indy where Stock is all a glow. You get audio for class and a warming up of the system it seems (like T.V. tubes) on Friday's for first round elimination of stock. If stock isn't what you are interested in. By all means you will be happy.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

As far as Bashing NHRA and not liking "almost all Access". I hate to be odd man out. I like racing NHRA. Might have a couple views like not having tear downs any more and car counts but I can live with it. I'm sure all other classes are getting their money's worth with all Access. I just watch stock sorry.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

You're not the only one! I love it. Like I said earlier, it might take them a few minutes to get rolling but good after that! Compare that to the cable a guy would have to pay. Oh ya, they only play the finals of sportsman. Just my 2.5 cents. ;)

Re: Define “All Access “
 

That's true....

FS 1& 2 are almost free when included with my direcTv package..

So I guess I am getting what I paid for from Fox..

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Leroy,

Are you sure about this?

Given my memory these days I am not going to bet anything on it but that is not my recollection.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

I don't have time to sit and watch, but I really enjoyed and miss the live audio feed that they used to provide as part of your membership. I could listen in the shop while doing something constructive. I wish they'd bring that back. I'm thrifty and I don't want to pay to listen when I used to get it for nothing.

And with limited bandwidth in my location, video is spotty or non-existant at best certain times of the day.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

I like it. I have had a few issues at times but they are usually caused by lack of bandwidth to stream the video. Since switching to Spectrum (+70mb) it's been good. I will say that it seems to work better with IE but my Mozilla works most of the time. On another note, everyone wants all the features and convenience to be able to watch our racing when we want. The bottom line is it cost money and time. Cost of the equipment and time to transport and setup and maintain. Most people don't want to spend anything for the service.

Re: Define “All Access “
 

So... Here's the deal with D3TV, Bo Butner, and "all divisionals". Bo is sponsoring the six Lucas Oil divisionals in Division 3 in 2018 (out of 11 scheduled D3 races). The deal happened while I was covering the "Baby Gators" and so, as a thanks for Bo and Randi Lyn's support, I ran his ads while in Gainesville. Most of the races I have done since 2015 have been out of my own pocket, and as I can get the time off from my full-time job. I'd love to do at least one race in the other six divisions and have had several inquiries / conversations about it, but no commitments yet to help cover my costs other than one race in Division 1 (TBD).

I always do appreciate the compliments and glad you enjoy the coverage.

Thanks -
Warren Evans
NHRA D3TV

Re: Define “All Access “
 

Thanks Warren. I REALLY enjoyed your coverage from Gainesville. Thanks for the clarification on the Bo sponsorship.
