    Can A Man Not Have !@#$% Freaking Working Site!!!

    Can a man not have a !@#$% freaking working site. Really! Is it that hard? I understand the whole exclusivity thing on the video. Got it. Fine. Don't agree with it, think its poor strategy but I can at least understand.

    But the radio....come on guys. How flipping hard is it to stream in today's day and age? All I get is cutting in and out. In and out, in and out. It's enough to drive a man to play in traffic. I can't take it, I want to blow up the whole !@#$% freaking site and tie whoever is in charge of that thing naked in a goat pen!

    Not to mention the amount of freaking digging you have got to do to get to any sort of results.

    Just another brilliant way to start another season.

    I agree, the IMS radio feed not working is very annoying.

    I agree with you Gonzo on this. I know some will say stop whining, but it is a joke that they can't freaking properly stream audio when all we get to see are freaking moving dots on a screen. I am a big IndyCar fan and will remain one, but they need to fix it.

    Thank you midtown. That works great!

    Its such a pain in the arse! All I picture is a bunch of drunk clowns working on this thing. Supposed to be one of the most technologically advanced racing series in the world, I can't count the number of times I've heard people fawning all over the new HD cameras mounted on these cars, and the series can't figure out a way to stream properly. Absurd. The whole entire crew should be fired that are responsible for the site.

    I can watch live video and audio streaming of lions in Africa without an issue, 24/7 but I can't listen to a radio broadcast originating from the States from a pro series! FAIL!

    They just don't care about us who watch these stupid squares and circles, period. This has always been like this and I do not expect it to ever change now. The Verizon feed works fine, that is probably where they want us all to listen.

    Very annoying, but it is surprising how well your mind will fill in the blanks when the audio drops out. Mine was dropping out ever three or for second for about three or four seconds, but I knew what was going on. I still got a hell of a headache out of it.

    If that is the case you need to do some serious soul searching.

    The music is terrible. How about some rock? Also, at least we don't have to sign in to see Timing & Scoring.

    If it involves a right click I guess it isn't compatible with iPad or DroidX

    When you run timing and scoring at the same time as the radio broadcast it causes the radio broadcast to cut in and out. If you run the radio broadcast alone, the radio works fine.

    I like the updated fantasy league. It is easier with better prizes.

    They do care, or they wouldn't have anything for us to listen to. I think they just don't find it important enough to spend any kind of money on.

    This will continue as long as the series is owned by the family that owns the track on 16th and Georgetown.

    I hope this discussion doesn't get muddled up with a bunch of reports about what's actually happening on the track. It would be like the practice thread getting all those complaint posts about the feed.
