John Lingenfelter once told me that even his truck (dually) slowed down when he drove past National Trail Raceway on the Interstate.
Its not slow, its just Columbus.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Is it just me or is the live feed, especially the starting line view buffering / freezing like crazy? Thanks!

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Same issue here.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Working well now for me. They must have slapped the side of the camera just right.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus

Hello all.Just an observation:I have been PIP ng both the Jegs race and the Sonoma LODRS.What a shameful difference in broadcast quality.....to showcase our Sportsman Nat.event.The Coughlin family should be embarrassed at the unprofessional product that was presented in Columbus.It looked like watching home movies compared to the professional product that Div.7 showed..BRAVO to them........Check it out !

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Well, let me say a big, huge thankyou to all involved in the coverage from Columbus. It was great, remember this is dragracing, it is not movies, and the announcing was what I would expect to hear,not the krap I have to listen to from Bruno on the fox shows.Thankyou again to all, John Kissel K242

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Think Warren did a great job, especially considering he doesn’t have a lot of options for camera placement at different tracks. Always a pleasure to hear Unk call a race and hearing “The Terminator” from Sonoma was great. In Indy you could hear Alan calling a 16 second BMW going down the track. Not putting down bracket cars but Class Racing is the greatest show in the sport and appreciate Warren and his team and sponsors bringing it into our homes. Thanks Warren!

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Did they finish the Sportsnationals today or did get rained on ?

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

They will finish it Monday July 20th starting at 8:00 with Super Street.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Thank you Jim.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Bobby - Sorry that you were disappointed with the broadcast.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Warren,
Although I greatly appreciate being able to view live action and thank you very much for that, why was there such a dramatic difference in the broadcasts from Sonoma and Hebron?
The clarity and camera angles at Sonoma were outstanding.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Thanks for all your hard work Warren. Enjoyed the broadcast!

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Not sure who this BobbyH cat is but you did an incredible job as usual Warren! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to our sport, it doesn't go unnoticed.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Thankyou, it was perfect, the best way to start a day, dragracing. John Kissel

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Wow! We're fortunate enough to be allowed to see FREE - LIVE class / sportsman racing and you complain? What the xyzw is wrong with you, man?

Carry on Warren - great job this weekend, sir (as usual)

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Did the CLASS eliminations get coverage on TV all the way to the finals? Looks like it ended on Saturday after the Alcohol cars ran. There were still 2 more rounds in Stock after that.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Thank Warren Evans for a great broadcast in Columbus and for providing all racers and spectators with the luxury of watching from home or at the race track. I did not watch the broadcast from Sonoma (and I do not doubt it was great) but I am thankful that we have a service provided to us that is FREE. Who all has paid for directv or dish ($100/mo) and the signal sucked? Who knows who BobbyH is but this kind of attitude is why sportsman racers get treated like they do.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

thanks Warren and all people involved , its fantastic to watch sportsman/class racing from so far away
My 2c , looked like camera was filming from behind an office/booth window so occasionally there was some reflection/glare .
Still fantastic to watch . And i enjoy all the different commentators .

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Sportsman get darn little coverage. Certainly one can offer any opinion, but I for one have enjoyed Warren’s coverage.

Warren took the initiative to provide a window into our racing world and does it with no charge to view it,

There can always be opportunities to improve, but why make it a right and wrong scenario so quickly?

Get off the Yelper button dude. Damn! I suppose you want a refund? LOL

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

I don't think Warren has much control over the signal strength available at any given track. His coverage of the Columbus event was spot-on, as usual.

I was glued to the computer all weekend and the only people that have a right to be upset with Warren, in my opinion, are my neighbors because my grass still hasn't been cut.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Enjoyed the coverage a lot. Thanks Warren! I have a question for you. I think it was on Saturday during Super Stock. Looks like something hit the camera behind the cars and shattered the lens. :eek:

Looks like you got it fixed pretty quickly if it wasn't an optical illusion.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

I mostly watched Sonoma but switched to Columbus a little. I think Warren did a great job and I appreciate what he does. He said he is going to Bonneville. That might be fun to watch.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Hello Warren,I seemed to have ruffled some feathers...This "CAT" did not intend to offend anyone! It was meant as constructive criticism.We strive to improve ourselves,cars etc.And I managed to put my paws in my mouth.I Humbly apologize to all my peers and fellow CR members.I will retire to my closet for Major Prayer time while I eat,not a slice,but a whole humble pie!!
Please forgive me...I know you work hard at it and we Sportsman racers are lucky to get any kind of coverage.Keep doing what you do...Look forward to meeting you in person down the road.
Blessings BH

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

Warren as always did a great job. I think the two things folks may be missing:

1. You cant imagine the humidity at this race. 120+ grains the whole time. Substantial humidity haze was visible to the naked eye even over a very short distance.

2. The way the general air flow was (and trust me, there wasn't much) was such that the tire smoke from burnouts was constantly wafting exactly where the cameras were.

The coverage was great, the feed worked nearly flawlessly, and it gave folks across the country the ability to watch this event for free.

If anyone feels compelled to complain, you are indeed a card-carrying, bonafide member of the entitlement establishment.

Re: Live Streaming coverage from JEGS Speedweek - Columbus
 

OK - I've been on the highway from Sonoma to Topeka and this is my first chance to respond.

Thanks to all for the positive feedback. (Yes, even you, BobbyH) I try to provide coverage from as many locations and at the best quality possible. When you see things that frustrate you with the coverage, believe me, they frustrate me more. My personal reputation is on the line every time I flip the switch to start the stream. Sometimes, that means working around roadblocks and within constraints presented to you. Columbus is one of the more difficult locations to cover because of some facility issues. Specifically regarding the picture quality, the cameras are positioned in the tower behind a tinted window. Over time, that tint (film) has deteriorated and formed cracks. Not a problem if you're working in race control and looking down track, but certainly a problem for a camera picking up refraction and glare and constantly trying to auto-focus. Jay and JJ have done an outstanding job in improving the facility in a short time. Replacing the tint on the glass is probably on their list but not the most urgent thing to take care of. Moving forward, we'll work on ways to improving that quality.

Sorry if that was long-winded. Not making excuses, just trying to explain.

Again, thanks for the support. I greatly appreciate it.

Warren
