Robz need for speed videos at Bowling Green.

To be fair, there was a sponsor who paid money to have the race live streamed on you tube.

If you owned that sponsor, and paid out your sponsorship dollars, to provide free live streamed coverage for fans over the Internet, how would you feel about NHRA allowing someone else to post videos for the cost of press credentials?

I don't have anything at all against Rob. However, I do understand where both NHRA and the sponsor of the live Internet video feed could have a problem with what he wanted to do, from a business view point.

As a solution, maybe Rob should talk to that sponsor about using what he does to enhance their coverage.

True but I'll bet Rob would have shown the later rounds and also the "sportsman" finals. Good luck Rob and thanks for all you try to do.

The race was live streamed all the way through every final round race, and it was an all sportsman show.

Don't know that, as I was busy all day and went on You Tube d3tv to watch the finals and it did not show any thing after like 10.48 hrs of the show ?? Maybe no full replay. Still that way now!

I am in the process of uploading an HD copy of the entire live stream. We had internet challenges that reduced the quality and had a lot of buffering. It should be completed by the end of the evening. On race day, we do live stream every run of qualifying and eliminations, so viewers did get that coverage through the end in real time.
As an aside, I like Rob's videos as well, and relayed that to him when I met him in Bowling Green. We are not trying to do the same thing - mine is a full broadcast, his is more specific highlight-oriented action. It's good to like them both!

That is a potential rational argument, however, based on what we've been told of the encounter, it is not an argument that NHRA even made.
