Turner Sports today will unveil RaceBuddy, an interactive element that will enhance viewing and assist fans during its six-week "Nascar on TNT" coverage.
RaceBuddy, which can be activated at http://www.nascar.com/promos/tnt/, is a free service that will enable visitors to choose from among five live camera angles, interact with other visitors and send questions to TNT's on-air personnel during races.
{snip}
RaceBuddy's highlight is an option that enables viewers to watch races online from one of four distinct views:
Battle Cam (on-track action),
Pit Cam,
In-Car Cam (viewers can select from among several drivers)
and Race Robo (action viewed from remote locations).
Visitors can also select Mosaic, which puts all four camera options on-screen at one time.
This sounds like a grand idea.
Check back and let me know if it really is.
As a free service I expect it to be slow and frustrating? Anyone else?
"Lions QB Jon Kitna repeated his spring statement of last year and this year that anything less than 10 wins will be a disappointment. "Our expectation is, we will be disappointed if we don't win 10 games because that will mean we are not in the playoffs," Kitna said. "I can't make it any simpler than that. Anybody who says that's not their expectation level is unfortunately not very much of a competitor." -- Detroit News
Ok Lions fans, here we go again.
It's not easy being a Lion's fan but some of us have stuck through thick and thin.
Although, the way this quote is written, I see Kitna's point. I understand we all want to make the play-offs.
However, no matter how he said it we all remember what this phrase cost last year.
I start the season every year with optimism. I have to. They've got some new faces and maybe one or two of them can help improve the team
Perhaps one year (soon?) I'll be on in the front seat when y'all are jumping on the bandwagon.
Since there are only 12 tracks, each will have 2 races one early, one late. The dates will be determined by proximity to the last track.No more bouncing back and forth .
There have been some modification to the existing Rule Book.
There will no longer be a ‘template’ for the cars-No COT no #### “run what you brung!”
Prerace inspection (for safety) will be just that- you pass, you’re in.
Post-race inspection (for rocket launchers) will be made by REASONABLE people.
Qualifying will be determined either by a ‘guess the jellybeans in the jar game’ OR last week’s slowest will qualify first. The first race, whoever “sets up camp” first qualifies first. (We don’t give a dip dingle what you did last year)
The field will no longer be frozen during the yellow.(you can race back to the yellow flag)
Lapped cars will restart at the back of the pack.
No top 35 rule (note I don’t think we have 35 drivers anyway) This also means that anyone can just show up at the race and qualify (except full time NASCAR drivers that have been removed from the above drivers list)
NO restictor plate, NO debris cautions,NO lucky dog.
Yellow laps will no longer be counted in the total laps raced.
Pit road speed is whatever you feel safe with and there is no longer a commitment cone.
You are not required to wear pants in the pits.(just for you)
If you spin out twice (without help) you will NOT be rejoining the race.
There is no ‘chase’.It's all or nothin' baby!
And you can use any tire (or tyre) you want!
By popular demand there will be NO announcers from any recognized network.
Kristin Valus has been nominated to lead a team of fellow bloggers (feel free to nominate more)to announce the races. Any Driver that has been ‘cut’ from the list above may also be nominated. (But can be removed from the booth at anytime).
By a pretty even margin, there will only be one and a half boogity’s before the race.
I must tell you all to BUCKLE UP- you’re gonna need all the safety equipment you can find!
Avid NASCAR fan. .I am generally quite friendly, and I don't bite (much).
- I like comments, I bet you do too. So I will comment.
I am not here for a pat on the head, however, I would like a wee bit of a comment if you happen to read anything I write.
