Default Idea for people wanting to watch the Texas Mile, who can't make the event:

I sent them an e-mail asking if there would be any way they could setup 3 cameras. One at the starting line, one in the middle, and one pointing at the MPH sign. Then just have them streaming live online.

I got an e-mail back saying "This is an interesting idea ;-) ill let my bosses know."

I know I'd like to watch it, especially live. Since I won't be able to make the drive down there.

Almost all the outlaw races around the country stream live coverage. You just need to get in touch with the right people to make it happen.

It would be boring watching the WHOLE event, yeah. But I think most people just want to see the top contenders running.

I'd stream it in the garage for motivation to keep turning wrenches. If you can't tell, I'm at the hopeless stage of my build

They better have a crap ton of bandwidth ready!
