This has been discussed for the last several years and is a valid point! The OP brought up the time and network could be a problem, and I agree! I'm an old fart so if a race starts past 7 edt I will likely not see the finish.
BTW. I have been to 8 races at the Glen, in the 70s before NASCAR arrived. Best place to watch a race and party your brains out!! Unless it rains torrents and you get stranded on the wrong side of the track. Then the Bozos you went with leave without you and steal the 280 bucks you had stashed in your sleeping bag! There were 3 cars and everyone thought I was in the other car, except for the bastard that took my money!!
Great questions by the OP
Is pork a code word
