If NHRA starts charging for it I won't be a part of it. Fundamentally, it has to be free to the viewers - we're trying to generate a fan base and support, not revenue. For the first four years, I was able to self-fund it; that went away when I lost my full time job last August. I'm fortunate that there are some great companies that believe in what I'm trying to do and are able to fund this effort. People like Bo Butner and Randi Lyn Shipp, Mike and Emily Volkman, Craig Gualtiere, Phil Unruh, Shane Thompson, Ted Wiens, Phillip Oakley, Rob Youngblood, Don Kennedy, Don Higgins... if you ever get a chance to support them - PLEASE DO! They are the ones helping me, and supporting you!

I'm not an employee of NHRA, and they aren't paying me to do this. The people I named above are the ones keeping this going. Thanks to them!

Warren

Mr Warren, I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I do hope to this year and thank you personally for this.. I have to say you made me laugh out loud at one of your statements... You said you were out to do this for Free to the viewers and then you said you did not work for NHRA.. The two statements say the same thing.. I never heard anyone from NHRA say we want to do this for free!!!! Just made me laugh.. Thanks again and I will thank all the sponsors when I see them also....Mack

Great Job you do with The live Feed. I like the boxes with dial in and Et s as that is the only way I enjoy watching any type of handicap start racing.

You have the winternationals listed on your 2019 live feed schedule. Will you be covering the national events or is that just for reference.

I am going to be doing some work with Bo Butner and his team that weekend. Not sure if that will be live or recorded. I'm not live streaming the race itself. Same is true for the Gatornationals.
