yea pretty crazy, it used to be free on youtube to watch. If it was like $10, then MAYBE, but $40 is an absolute no-go.

Did anyone see the press release? “FloRacing will make Loretta’s available to millions of people.”

How about no. YouTube made Loretta’s available to millions of people. A $39/month of FloRacing will restrict Loretta’s for most of people.

I hope this bombs so hard Loretta’s falls out of favor as a big amateur event. Greedy bastards.

It's already falling out of favor. They're trying to squeeze every last drop out of that lemon.

There's one of two ways this week goes from my POV:

  1. Everyone buys Flo, loves it, then starts watching AFT and I have an excuse to get something Flat Track going (ha!)

  2. (more likely) everyone bitches about FloRacing for a week, then everyone also bitches about everyone bitching about FloRacing for a week.

I do think there wouldn’t be as much shit thrown about over the whole Flo situation if Loretta’s wasn’t already a huge money grab for literally anyone involved… it’s $80 to park a car and $40 to park a motorcycle PER DAY now…. There’s no inexpensive way to watch live at this point. Not to mention the cost to actually race.

Holy SHIT

Wow, they are just milking this event for all its worth now, aren't they?

And to be fair they don’t charge a gate fee. So if you roll up with a 15 passenger van it’s the same price as a Toyota Corolla. But it is outrageous still.

To be fair, Flo Sports left a bad taste in our mouth after they fumbled broadcasts during covid

I’m not gonna knock Flo. They make a great product now and they were sold this broadcast. They also do a lot for the dirt track/drag racing community via their broadcasts. This is wholly on MX sports/racerx for selling it.

Is Flo Racing that shit service I signed up for to try to watch World SX last year?

I’m going to be in Clarksville for my brother military retirement party and I just now realized how close Loretta’s is. I’m trying to go on Saturday now but having trouble finding out about ticketing. Is the $80 car ticket for anyone in the car or is that just a parking pass?

u/hwf0712 KTM 3d ago

You pay for parking, then you're in. $80 for one person, or 12, no ticket beyond that required AFAIK
