Tonights (Feb 13th) 360 sprint car races at East Bay Raceway Park were cancelled due to excessive rain. However you would never know that fact from their site. Had to search the internet elsewhere to find out why no racing at East Bay tonight.

Another complaint: When a race is over, FloRacing immediately removes the finishing position of the cars. I generally like to know the finishing position of the top 10 cars - not possible on FloRacing!

I am beginning to think FloRacing is way less than professional!

You do know you can pause, replay and rewatch every event rite?

I tell it like I see it.

Don’t see your question at all related to my two specific complaints. Can’t replay races that cancelled and no notification of that fact. And even if you did watch a replay of a race, the finishing positions would still be deleted the second the race was over.

Flo tweeted at 1:39 pm that the races were cancelled. 

FloRacing is a great value. Sounds like you're just looking for something to bitch about

So, did you send a note to the Floracing crew or did you just come here to tell us about your opinion?  I don't mean to judge...it's not like I've never complained pointlessly on this message board.  But none of us can do anything about it.  Maybe Chet will log on and see your post, but maybe not.  A well written e-mail has a better chance of being effective.  Oh, and not every event is going to be as well organized as the USAC and All Star broadcasts.  I agree it would be nice if they were but that's a big ask given all of the different entities involved.

Signature here.

On the floracing site main menu,  just select "NEWS".

When I saw that the events weren't being broadcast last night,  I selected NEWS.   It said:

"Winter Dirt Games, East Bay Finales Rained Out"

I remember waiting a week for National Speed Sport News  and being damn thankful that the post office didn't half shred it.

Looking at the weather I didn't expect them to get the show in so I was not surprised when the link was pulled.  It was a good opportunity to switch to YouTube and catch up on my "Vice Grip Garage" episodes.  Floracing averages out to something like $13 and change per month for over 1,000 races on the season.  That makes it pretty hard to complain about anything they do on their broadcasts.  Hell, they could use tin cans and a string instead of mics for pit side interviews and I still wouldn't have any issues with them.  When I used to drink I would spill more than $13 worth damn near every time.  It's not a big deal, if it was more "professional" it would probably cost more and I wouldn't be able to afford it.

When I was watchng the USAC show Friday night, I looked at the 'Live' or upcoming part and it showed the USAC race and the Winter Nationals from East Bay.  It showed me the times and date.  Saturday, when I learned of the USAC rainout, I flipped on Flo and did the same check.  It showed NO 'live' or upcoming races for the night so I assumed the Winter Nationals was rained out as well.  I went back to watching Hockey

Go on twitter and post your problems, surely you will get somone to cosole you. The races rained out and you are getting on hoseheads to bitch about the livestream of a rained out race.  You could have pulled up a weather map to see if it was raining, I'm sure thats what you would do if you were to go to a race and sit in the stands. But sure, try to throw Flo under the bus on hoseheads because you think this will prove your point. 

Those were the days!

Imagine being a customer service rep for Flo or DV and listening to these types of ridiculous complaints on a weekly basis. It must be torture. 

Kool Trikes,  back in the day we would follow AARN or NSSN  to see were the xtra lap and xtra money races where going to be held. 

Wait a minute, so you are saying you just went back to living your life �? Without having to complain to anyone on facebook, twitter, the gram, reddit, google reviews, or a message board? The hell you say sir? Is something wrong with you��!? I didn't possibly know that was possible anymore.

Anybody else having issue with a lot of glitching in their broadcasts? I don't know if it's on my end or theirs. I cleared my laptop cookies and and it didn't help.

LOLOL.  Yup.  I kind of figured things all by myself. Hmmm, novel idea eh?  Not pissed at anyone or anything, figured it out on my own.  Just ask my Wife, I am a 'bitch at just about everything" kind of guy too....LOL

I remember those days.  Or going to Sunset and trying to buy Hawkeye Racing News and they would be sold out with no way to get any more copies.

also having issues with flo as i was billed twice for my subscription and cannot get a response from email, does anyone have a phone number for them????
