For Immediate Release

TURKEY NIGHT GRAND PRIX WILL STREAM LIVE ONLINE ON “THE CUSHION”

(Perris, CA, November 18, 2013) The historic running of the 73rd Annual Turkey Night Grand Prix at Perris Auto Speedway on Thanksgiving Night will be streamed live to racing fans around the world on “The Cushion.” The race will feature the Honda USAC National and Western Midgets. 

“We want to thank Loudpedal Productions and Turn Two Media for making this significant webcast possible for fans who cannot attend the race in person,” Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian said. “Fans can watch some football in the day, have their Thanksgiving meal and then sit back and watch Midget racings best drivers in the longest running and most historic Midget race in the world live online.”

After 13-years on pavement, the prestigious race made a sensational and much heralded return to dirt at Perris Auto Speedway last Thanksgiving. 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year candidate Kyle Larson won the 98-lap main event over a stellar field of cars and a large, vocal crowd. 

“When the Agajanian’s called us last year and we got together and announced that the Turkey Night Grand Prix was returning to dirt, the excitement was so thick you could cut it with a butter knife,” Kazarian smiled. “Now, with the race just 10-days away, the excitement is building to a crescendo all over again. The drivers are excited, the fans are excited and we are excited. And, with the broadcast of the race on “The Cushion,” fans all over the world are getting excited about it, too.”

Looks like a good turnout of cars,  over 45 (ran out of fingers and toes).  I just purchased and it looks like they are ready to go for the broadcast, no live feed yet but still have a bit of time before hot laps start.  Should be a great race and broadcast.  Be eating turkey and watching hot laps at the same time.  nice and toasty at home stocked with my favorite beverage.   Hope everyone else is having a Happy Thanksgiving  

Thanks Cushion for putting this together at the last moment  

Anyone else having issues with this broadcast? Mine keeps buffering every 10 seconds or so. I have a 60mb internet connection so I'm pretty sure its not in my side

Real race cars don't have fenders...

 Like you I have a high speed (50mb) connection and though it started out well, it's now buffering often here in AZ too.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

me too

 Better, got through the B main lineup without a buffer.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

According to Twitter they are tracing the connection at the track to see if they can find the issue

Real race cars don't have fenders...

 Now it's buffering often again.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Not fun.

 Circle track network had so many problems trying to broadcast from Perris, they gave up!

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

The buffering is so slow here in sac.  Its bad.  And its not on my end cause I have 6mbps.   If you havent bought it yet don't waste your money unless you like seeing spinning circles!

 I went over last year but couldn't make it over for this one.... The track looks great, so lets hope the finish is as good as the Western Worlds Midget final was a week ago.

 Hold your breath, they seem to have found the problem.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

seems to be fixed now and pretty good

 Great pass by Darland!...... That banner across the top needs to go.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

What a race. I'm sure Darland was singing "You picked a fine time to leave me Loose Wheel" when Gardiner lost his LR. The on track action was highly entertaining but the show did go on for quite a while. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who had to call it an early night on the east coast. 

The buffering at the begining was rough but the feature was flawless. My brother and I are extremely happy with the $25 we spent to see a great race. Congrats to Dave Darland, job well done!

I liked the race  very much and will suscribe again next year, BUT  I thought the big delays between time trials and B main and from B to A was quite a bit to long.  I would  guess about a total of 2 hrs total.  I would think  1/2 hr between TT and from B to A would have been plenty
