Motoamerica Live+ incompetence

After the initial billing and login snafu, everything was fine. Updated my Ap on Roku and logged right in. Had some sound issues during the pitlane stuff, but no issues at all during the race and podium celebration.

 

+ 1

Same exact experience for me.

 

Except for the crappy resolution using Silk, it worked fine.

 

Streamed through the web browser on my Xbox and the 200 actually streamed fine. Big relief after yesterday and especially this morning when it cut out a couple times. I posted rather pissed pissed in the other thread lol

 

I am so sick of MotoAmericas shitty fucking product. I have to wade through 7+ hours of video to try and find the 200 to watch. I really wish I would have cancelled my subscription for the year.

 

Dude there is literally a button for just the 200 race.....

 

It's actually easier to find races than it was last year.
But here is the link:
Daytona 200 at Daytona 2024 | MotoAmerica (motoamericaliveplus.com)

 

MotoAmerica Live has definitely improved.
There's always small issues with tech.
Able to find and watch all the races on demand wit no issues.

 

Ok, my memory may be a bit fuzzy as I was just a kid in the heyday of speedvision. And no idea what my parents had to pay for us to have it. But I don't recall anything since being even remotely close to as awesome as speedvision. IIRC, it was literally real motorsports (not some reality tv bs) 24/7. Every kind of motorcycle racing from Baha to AMA everything to speedway, F1, indy, SCCA, literally EVERYTHING. I'd give my left nut to have speedvision back.

 

Gotcha, wasn't aware of the tape delay on live moto racing. Like I said, I just remember LOTS of racing lol.

 

People have been posting vintage Speedvision AMA stuff on YouTube. You can check out old races and see how it compares to today.

My opinion is that the entire American motorcycle road racing product is nothing like it used to be. This was my first year attending the 200 since 2005ish. It’s a shadow of its former self imho. Without the big dollar factory teams, the product has really suffered.

 

Oh yeah?

I had to watch the 200 while walking to/from school through a blizzard (uphill both ways) and being chased by a pack of wolves.

 

Me too, and I was barefoot !

 

And pregnant?

 

Absolutely. The world has changed. I try not to be a grumpy old man about it.

We had a good time at Daytona and actually bought VIP tickets for Road America. It may not be what it was, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still fun.

I live in Indiana and the Indy500 is the same story. It is nothing compared to what it once was. The whole series is a bit of a joke. Cheapo spec cars, no real sponsors, no big personality drivers, bleh. Last I knew, the speedway was sponsoring like half the cars just to make sure they have a decent grid.

 

I looked up the title sponsor for Daytona...Mission Foods...they are headquartered a few miles from my house in Irving.

Wonder what drove them to ante up? I bet there are some motorcycle enthusiasts there.
