Default Network tv Cameras

While we complaine about the network TV coverage,they have given us the overhead shot which I wish the tracks could find a way of using more often than just big days when the networks are interested.

Getting a blimp on an average race day does not sound like the most cost effective option. Trakus baby!!

Speaking of "Blimps"... I remember when I was about 11 and got the opportunity to ride in the Goodyear blimp. That was way cool

Not too many blimps around anymore.
