Klaus is seeing the bigger picture (no pun intended). This is not just about the Primm. In fact, SCORE could even get quite uncool about people broadcasting (even closed circuit) their race without serious, legal permission.
The possiblilities are huge. Remember, we have only been discussing LIVE video. There are some talented people (in the thread!) who have done some great post-production work. Before we go too far, the legal aspects need to be addressed, rights, royalties, permissions, etc. I am NOT a lawyer, but there is a lot to think about. The technology is here. Webcasting, broadcasting, closed circuit on-site. I am not an entreprenuer, but if done right, this could be big.
Remember too that the people who come to our races are not normal! They have demonstrated that they have a higher than normal attention span. Most of America has demonstrated that a lap around Talledega is about as long as they can concentrate. This may be one reason why our sport has never really taken-off; aside from short course (SODA, CORR). Maybe being able to see more of the course, more people would enjoy it. I think Shoemaker has done an OK job, but they are not trying to show the WHOLE sport. 1's, 10's, and TT's are all great and I like to see them, but they are only a PART of what the sport is about. Kenneth Montijo brought over the OuchProductions video of the CODE San Felipe race the other day. They showed every car. Some music and intelligent voice over would have gone a long way, but it was still watchable.
I guess if we are really interested in pursuing this further, we need to get together. I have done a lot of leg work, and would be happy to share everything I have found out. I'll be a little busy on Saturday (at Lucerne) but maybe Sunday we could all meet. Count me in.
