World of Outlaws live WEBCAST of USOWC

[Custom Works RC]

We are very pleased to announce that the World of Outlaws have agreed to provide live webcast coverage of this years US Open Wheel Championships through their www.dirtvision.com (http://www.dirtvision.com) website. This broadcast will be provided free of charge thanks to the generosity of the World of Outlaws and Dirtoval.com. This is still pending completion of the internet service to the track which looks like it will happen at this point.

More info will be coming as soon as we get through the weekend. Brian Dunlap or BrianD as he is known on here will be posting some additional information shortly that will tell you exactly what you will need to do to view the webcast.

Thank you to Brian and the World of Outlaws for making this available to the racers who wont be able to make it to the race this year! At least you will be able to watch it now from the comfort of your own home.

Thanks,

Rob

[UltraLine Motorsports]

Great news Rob :thumbsup:

I would also like to thank Brian, the WoOs and Dirtvision.

[siggy99x]

Thats awesome thanks to all involved

[dirtsprinter]

That will be sweat being I'm missing the event this year. We will have it on our race screens while racing here in Rochester:greenflag:

[latemodel13]

That is great news. One question though. Is the race lineup the same order as the entry list? I could tell people about when to watch for my race.

[jaybird 52]

that is way too cool!!!!! thanks to all involved!:D:beer::beer:now i'll drink my BUDWEISER and watch some usowc if i can't do some truckin down there

[jrcspeedway]

that great thanks to everyone that had a part in making this happen :thumbsup:

[rayhoe1]

This is good for those of us who cant make it this year.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[markny]

do you have to have a membership to veiw the races?

[Custom Works RC]

You will need to register on the Dirtvision site but you will not have to pay to view this event. As I said BrianD will be posting all of the info required to be able to view the broadcast as soon as it is available.

Just so you know a majority of the broadcast will be just a stationary webcam beginning mid to end of week for the practice and fridays qualifying. Beginning sometime saturday there will be 2 cameras with one being a manned camera to follow the racing action and get some driver interviews. Should have audio as well so you will hear all of the great racing action via legendary announcer Scotty Ernst!

Thanks,
Rob

[JASONHastings]

I already have an account this is great news.

[craigv65]

when and what time will this be on??

[dirtsurfer5]

Saaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt tttttttttttttttttttttt!

[freeloader Rob]

Man, I was just joking about the ESPN 2 thing. Maybe next year it will be there. Nice job, it should be really cool.

[Mason]

break out the good shirts guys.

[PainterX]

THIS IS THE MOST AWSOME THING EVER! I am so pumped to see rc do racing getting some real attention =]

Might want to shave guys lol =]

[BrianD]

I want to thank everyone for the nice words. This was something I have wanted do for awhile and its something that quite a few people within our company feel could turn out really cool. When I originally bounced this idea off of our CEO just to make sure he would be okay with I figured I would have to at least do a little justifying of why I wanted do it, instead I got a “that’s cool, do you need to do” which was really cool coming from him. It’s been cool to see how people within our company who aren’t big into rc races are starting to talk about it and get excited over it.

As for being able to watch the broadcast, you will just need to log onto www.dirtvision.com (http://www.dirtvision.com) and sign up for a membership which is free. One thing to note, to activate your membership, the site will send you an email with a link to click on to complete the process. If for some reason you don’t get the email in your inbox check your spam folder as they seem to have habit of migrating there with some email accounts. If you have any issues with logging on feel free to post any questions or issues you have here and I will check frequently and work to get them answered so everyone can enjoy the race.
The plan as of now is to begin broadcasting on Thursday morning and continue through the mains on Sunday.
A big thanks is owed to Rob and everyone at C&S for all of their help in getting us what we need to broadcast the race.

[AJS]

Things like this move RC racing to Main street.

I'm really looking forward to watching.

If there was a way to advertise it to Non-rc people, I'll bet that there could be a lot of interest generated in RC racing.

Thanks to all that made this happen.

[iracercs]

This going to be cool, don't have to go to the race and still feel like I am there.

Thanks Brian for the great work you and your staff are trying to do for this hobby.

I will be watching so all you racers behave or I just might have to drive down and straighten you out LOL LOL

Everyone have fun and excited to see the races!!!!!!

Welcome to "The Greatest Show on Dirt"!!

Thank you Brian, the WOO's, and Dirtvision for your support for the thing we luv to do, emulate you! Put a show on a smaller scale. The time, money and labor involved for us to race these cars can only be rivaled by the folks that put on the shows for us all summer long on the WOO tour.

Good luck to all drivers that will attend this stellar event. Wish I could be there.

I will be watching!!

Go Team Putnam!!

[cobra22431]

This is a great thing, us on the www live!. Add it to the new DODC brushless/lipo classes and the death of the stock motors and nimh i so much despise and u got a hot topic!

[ericsalvas]

wow...a HUGE thanx Brian...that is a COOL happening....

btw my father will be on hand...he's flying down on friday...

[irocz69]

[Mr.Wolfman]

This is outstanding. I have many friends that are attending and can keep up on the action.

Thank you, to all involved.

[Ovaltraxxas]

This is great. I'll be watching

[craigv65]

what time does it start

[BrianD]

what time does it start

The plan right now is to start the streaming video thursday prior to the driver's meeting and third round of practice at 3. If every thing gets set up and tests out okay I would like to begin thursday morning. I will post here when everything is up and running.

[Breckenridge]

Thanks for setting this up Brian. I hope my dsl connection is fast enough to keep up.

How about getting some commentary for Thursday practice? Set up a couple mics somewhere and have guest analysts. Kind of like the commentary track you get with most DVDs. j/k - probably a little much for the first year.

[cnyrcer]

i volunteer for this

that would be cool Solly..but people would probably be laughing so hard they wouldnt be able to watch the racing...

[RobRacer]

Brian - this is so awesome. My kids will certainly want to watch a few races. Will there be a way to view a tentative schedule on Dirt Oval or from the Dirtvision site?

Bob G

[solly]

My kids will certainly want to watch a few races.

[mikeschellracing]

don't know if it's possible, but would like to buy a dvd of the a-mains and possibly some of the better lower mains. either way the webcast should be great for all who can't attend.:thumbsup:

[Rob Cutman]

[teddy]

Yea, bad. looks like some thing on the lens. Small picture

[Rob Cutman]

Video is up and running but we are having what we believe to be a camera issue. Brian is working on it now and should have it worked out shortly. We are pretty excited about the exposure this will bring to RC dirt oval racing. The WOO is sending an email blast to all of their current subscribers to let them know to check out the rc racing action this weekend!

[Dragula]

Rob,

DVD's of the upper mains would be good too.....Might want one. Got lots of friends going. And thanks for making this an event we can all share in!

Randy

[UltraLine Motorsports]

[3ronm]

Video/x-ms-wmv is not supported by a mac os system. Is the anything you can do for the MAC population?

[rc_truck_racer]

Mac users may watch video using version 9 for Mac OS X, new Intel based Macs (Macbook, Powerbook etc.) require Flip4Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx)

[PainterX]

What time are you webcasting today?

[AJS]

Check Post #59.

[PainterX]

[smith20]

[BrianD]

Today's Broadcast is now up and streaming.

[sprinter41]

Yes it is , Thanks

[CoreyNorton]

i can see it, but it looks REALLY dark, does anyone else have that problem?

[Dragula]

Its a little dark, not bad, but still a little blurry.

[CoreyNorton]

hopefully its not like that the whole time, and they get it fixed.

[smith20]

i can hear it but i cant see it

[curtisp]

That is FREAKING AWESOME!!!! :D

Thanks!!!!

[CeO21]

Got a problem. I have the sound but no video picture. Help!

Thanks,
Cecil

[smith20]

same here sounds good tho

[PainterX]

Yea dark and blurry... but most webcasts are like that. with more resolution the streaming video would lag because of the load of information being transfered to so many computers. But it could be alittle brighter :thumbsup::D


Cory

[smith20]

ceo21 x off and reopen link thats what i did and all is good now

[UltraLine Motorsports]

Looking good, Thanks Brian...:thumbsup:

Don't forget the chat link guys.

[CoreyNorton]

Looking good, Thanks Brian...:thumbsup:

Don't forget the chat link guys.i just got banned from chat, but my video is not dark anymore. lol

[UltraLine Motorsports]

You can Time out on the chat, unless you keep talking.

i just got banned from chat, but my video is not dark anymore. lol

[CeO21]

Thanks George. Tried that, No picture. Then I clicked the STOP box then the PLAY button. It rebuffered to 100% and then I got the video BUT for only 17 seconds. Video froze but had the sound still. If I STOP the video then click PLAY it'll rebuffer then play for several more seconds. video freezes bt still have the sound.

Man is this frustrating!!! :(

Cecil

[CoreyNorton]

You can Time out on the chat, unless you keep talking.its cool, im unbanned. lol

[NicksHobbyBarn]

where can i find the chat link

[UltraLine Motorsports]

The link is on the right just under where you login. You'll see it after you login.

where can i find the chat link

[BrianD]

Are you on high speed internet? thats weird. One thing you may want to try is going into windows media player and setting the buffer to 45 seconds. Sometimes that can help.
