Why no Bowling Green live stream?

R. Thorne · 08-23-2021, 12:31 PM

One of the largest, most prestigious, divisionals and no live stream from NHRA.

It's this weekend, hasn't happened yet? They probably haven't updated the event page on NHRA.TV, I'm sure it will get updated.

NHRA does have someone scheduled to do the stream. (not me, btw) Website probably not been updated yet.

Is there WiFi there? Don’t think NHRA sends out satellite trucks to those events….Cell service, don’t think there on that to.

NHRA does not send out satellite trucks to divisional events, nor to national events. There is limited internet access into that facility but in the past, enough to do the live stream. There is also a local internet provider that serves up WiFi on the grounds for a daily or weekend fee.

Warren, I realize both you and Unk contribute to various NHRA.TV events but we sure miss your steady service. Until Summit withdrew much of their support Larry Sullivan (RIP) and his DRC crew plus your coverage really spoiled us and it shows. Thanks for chipping in when you can and when NHRA.TV contracts your support.

I miss being there more than you can possibly imagine. All of the racers, officials, track owners, everybody involved have become more like family and those relationships are truly special. But, business is business. NHRA has a vision for what they want to do, and to their credit, the service they are delivering is getting better as the season progresses. I help when I can as they ask me to, but I had to move forward and put together a schedule for 2021 for my own survival. Fortunately, I've been able to cover a bunch of great events and build new relationships this season, for which I will always be grateful.

The link(s) are up on the site, as are the ones for Maple Grove. Thanks for the response, Warren, and thank you, NHRA, for providing this great free service.
