The short tracks I used to love going to back in NY have finally begun their racing seasons, but without spectators. To compensate for no money from front gate admissions (there are hefty fees for pit crews) the tracks are streaming the weekly races on DirtTrackDigestTV (or FLORACING.org).
DirtTrackDigestTV is $21.99 per event, and I think FLORACING has a $150 subscription fee and also a $20 a month plan.
I haven't purchased an event or plan yet, but know tracks can't put on events or pay enough for good teams to show up without income. I don't want to see tracks I supported and enjoyed watching races at for decades go under during the Covid-19 pandemic. All race fans of local tracks know they are constantly under pressure from people who dislike racing for a variety of reasons, as well as developers who want the land for housing or commercial projects.
Now that I can watch live short track racing remotely I should be putting my money where my race-fan mouth is. I'm wondering what other race fans are doing.
