Live from the NW Stock/Superstock Series Race #2

I will be broadcasting live from Pacific Raceways this weekend and when I say live I truly mean LIVE! I thought I would try something a little different. I finally bought myself a new phone for Christmas after having the last one for seven years. It's a Galaxy Note 4. I will be using the Meerkat app. They finally got the Meerkat app working for the Android now.

You will need a twitter account to log in. You will also need to install the Meerkat app on your iPhone or Android. You can also watch it on the web on your desktop if you prefer. All you need to do is follow me on twitter (@toby_lang) and the Meerkat app will post a tweet on my timeline saying that I'm |LIVE NOW| then click on the mrk.tv link. It will take you to the web page. Then log in with your twitter credentials. If you are on an Android, click on the 'Open in App' button and it will display the stream in the app. I would think it's similar on the iPhone. Once you are in the app you can follow me there also and your phone will give you an alert whenever I'm broadcasting so you don't have to keep checking.

It's interactive also. There will be a row at the top of the app that shows the icons of the people watching and below there are 4 or 5 lines of chat displayed. So you can chat with me and the other viewers while I'm broadcasting. If you want me to ask somebody a question, get a closer view of something or someone, I will try to accommodate.

The stream will automatically be saved on youtube also, so if you miss it you can watch it later. The links to the replays will be posted on my twitter timeline. The quality won't be the best and it will be vertical (portrait) video, but it will be live! I could turn my phone to landscape, but the people watching it on their desktops won't be able to turn their monitors to the side like you can with a phone.

I will try to get all the racing action the best I can, but since there is no zoom on the phone I don't know if you will be able to see the scoreboards, but I will give it a try! I will mostly be broadcasting from the pits and the lanes as much as my battery will allow.

There are plenty of streams out there now if you want to test it out before tomorrow. I will try to answer any questions you have the best I can.
