Johali's Rate the Cup race --- 600

10.

Best race of the year by far. Great action. Great broadcast. Clutch pass for the win.

Melon Man starts last and wins the Coca-Cola 600!
 
10. One of the best races I’ve ever seen

9 great finish. Sad Larson went out the way he did but was glad to see the Watermelon man get my Hendricks at the end. He worked for ever inch of it. Harcover also impressed the heck out of me.
 
Great race. 10. Hate that WE didn't win, but just NASCAR perfection. In the words of my former favorite driver...."If you don't like that, I have nothing for you!"
 
10 :punkrocke:puffin::partytime:pbjtime::salute::jamming: My Melon man straight up won this race.

As far as the broadcast on Prime. I had forgotten that Letard and Jr. went to the Jeff Burton squeal your high pitched ass off while you broadcast school and never ever STFU. For a long time there I thought the only 2 cars on the track were Byron and Hambone.

Watched the race last night through the second stage, then this morning went back to prime to finish it, when Melon man won and made the reverse lap, the broadcast stopped.:bigfight: Had to search all over you tube to get the melon smash and on track interview.

A friend of mine said he lost the broadcast in the last few laps. He is really pissed off.

To be honest that’s how it felt at the track. The racing at the front of the field was the hardest

They got me also. I missed the pass live that Chastain did. I did see it in replay later but damn, for me the whole thing was a mess. Glad it is going to be free is about all I can say good about it. I hope they get it straightened out for the next race. It would fade in and out of focus.
We had some horrific weather, high winds I have never experienced that strong, knocked power out for 14 hours in 4 counties and then the next A.M. a 25 minute hail storm that shredded the trees of leaves and again I had never been in a hail storm that strong either, some got tennis ball sized hail. I think it damaged some of the TV equipment I'm guessing.
 
You could be right about the storm affecting the reception. Good to hear you are ok.
I got hit by straight line winds the end of April. It knocked down three 60-70' trees in my front yard. Never saw anything like that. They were roots in the air! My tree people took out 5 dump trucks of debris. It's still a mess out there and the storms keep coming.
 
Coverage was a 10
I didn't feel there were any BS cautions, though one incident that was arguably caution worthy went unflagged (don't remember what it was). 9/10 there
I don't like it when a poorly surfaced track just eliminates drivers. "Gotta watch out for those bumps!" Or, ya know...smooth that **** out. 6/10

8.3/10

I can't see the ground, all I see are leaves. That's a first for me.

The other side of your angst is that teams can't spend 25 thousand on a shock and spend hours in a shaker rig so that the big teams can figure out how to smooth out those irregularities in the track. Drivers and teams now have to figure out a way to deal with that kind of situations differently.

Seems you need to figure it out, nobody else was have the issues you were so the problem was on your end, not Amazon's.

If it was every channel I would agree. I didn't try them all but the ones I tried worked just fine. Thanks for your concern.

It shook us pretty good, I was clearing a tree in the neighbor's driveway and all of us had a sorta pow wow about it. Nobody there had ever been in weather events like those two we had.
Speaking of neighbors, I finally got to meet mine. They came and tried to clear one of the trees from my driveway. But, his chain saw wasn't big enough. But, Hey, good neighbor tried.
