Is my computer capable of receiving pay-per-view?: If you have a high-speed connection and you're typically able to view videos online, you're set. Regularly-used computers five years old or newer with recent software shouldn't have any problems.
Is it just like watching TV?: For the most part, although you computer screen is likely a bit smaller and the picture isn't quite as a sharp as some television broadcasts. As long as you have a steady high-speed internet connection, you should be able to watch smooth video throughout each night's program.
Is the live production available on mobile devices?: A computer and full web browser may provide the best experience, but most smartphones and tablets, including iPhones and iPads, can be used as well.
What's the racing schedule?: Thursday's card features two rounds of qualifying for Late Models and sprint cars, along with two programs of preliminary action for big-block modifieds. Friday and Saturday's cards will feature complete racing programs (minus time trials) for the Late Models and sprints, along with a main event for the big-block modifieds. Each night's Late Model and sprint car programs will be headlined by a $12,000-to-win main event.
What time does the production begin?: About 4:45 p.m. on Thursday and 3:45 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (All times Eastern and subject to change).
Can I watch from work?: Maybe not. Many places of business use security firewalls on computer systems that prevent live video. If you receive a server message (something like rtmp://dirtondirt.streamguys.com:80/live) it's likely a firewall issue. Most home networks won't have such firewall issues.
What if it rains? You will be granted access to watch the event whenever it is made up. If the event is not made up, those who order can receive a full refund or viewing credit towards a different DirtonDirt.com live broadcast of similar value.
Who will be announcing?: Ben Shelton, Johnny Gibson and Shane Andrews will call the action, with Dustin Jarrett serving as the roving reporter.
Who is doing the production?: DirtonDirt.com co-founder Michael Rigsby will oversee a specially assembled production team that brings extensive broadcast experience.
