More seems like a festival that has a race as a side show. But the sanctioning body isn't trying to get people like the ones on here to show up to this thing, we're already fans.Turned it into a mini festival.
No different from the Snake Pit during the Indy 500 and F1 at COTA also had musical performances going on during the race.
Yeah those would be crowd pleasers alright. The Lawrence Welk singers would be great belting out those songsA hired DJ? I must be missing something. They could find some racing-related singles and play those over the PA without having to hire someone.
'Dead Man's Curve', 'Little Deuce Coupe', 'Hot Rod Lincoln'; how am I doing so far?
I admitted I may be missing something. I guess I don't see the entertainment value of a DJ. Is this a bar mitzvah, a senior prom, a quinceanera?Yeah those would be crowd pleasers alright.
L.A. is a meca for entertainment. To ignore that resource would be bad business
Nobody under 70 years old knows those songs.A hired DJ? I must be missing something. They could find some racing-related singles and play those over the PA without having to hire someone.

somewhere in the crowd I believe all of those and more. Pitbull knowsI admitted I may be missing something. I guess I don't see the entertainment value of a DJ. Is this a bar mitzvah, a senior prom, a quinceanera?
Pitbull and Ice Cube are live acts on a stage, I assume accompanied by a band and / or dancers. There's something to see.somewhere in the crowd I believe all of those and more. Pitbull knows
I'm hurt you didn't include my song Stand On It. So no, I don't think your doing it so farA hired DJ? I must be missing something. They could find some racing-related singles and play those over the PA without having to hire someone.

I believe he is a popular DJ in the L.A. area. This might help ya. Remember Dick Clark? lolPitbull and Ice Cube are live acts on a stage, I assume accompanied by a band and / or dancers. There's something to see.
Is there an entertainment component of a DJ beyond what tunes he selects?
I was tempted to include 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light'.I'm hurt you didn't include my song Stand On It. So no, I don't think your doing it so far
Nope. That's it. Just Casey Kasem spinning the vinyl.Pitbull and Ice Cube are live acts on a stage, I assume accompanied by a band and / or dancers. There's something to see.

good luck with that. They might cram all of that in thirty seconds. Most viewers if they aren't familiar with how they run dirt races will be having coronaries anyhowAre these things going to be on TV? If no, I really could care less. I hope during the intermission or whenever this stuff goes on we get updates on developing stories after the heats/LCQ and commentary on the first half or whatever they do.
I really like the format from what I've read. Going to be interresting.
If they are broadcast on TV, I will end up recording the race. I have no interest in Pitbul, Ice Cube or DJ.Are these things going to be on TV? If no, I really could care less.
same hereIf they are broadcast on TV, I will end up recording the race. I have no interest in Pitbul, Ice Cube or DJ.
IDK I was thinking about turning down the sound and listening to Charlie's DJ picks myself. I might stand up and sing Frankie's Stranger in the nightIf they are broadcast on TV, I will end up recording the race. I have no interest in Pitbul, Ice Cube or DJ.
Well, maybe we can add a new feature to race chat where you can go live and entertain us old folk.IDK I was thinking about turning down the sound and listening to Charlie's DJ picks myself. I might stand up and sing Frankie's Stranger in the night
Keep your head in the stars and keep reaching for the ground. Or something like that.Nope. That's it. Just Casey Kasem spinning the vinyl.
Pitbull is pre-race, which I never watch anyway.Are these things going to be on TV? If no, I really could care less.
They used to play Little Deuce Coupe and Hot Rod Lincoln blaring over crappy loudspeakers at all of the NHRA national events numerous times a day. After listening to those two songs while doing cylinder heads all day for 3 days each race for 23 races a year...I don't care if I ever hear those 2 songs again for the rest of my life. At the Houston race one year the pole the speaker was mounted on was right in front of my cylinder head table. I got a ladder and went up that pole and cut the wires to that speaker the first day.A hired DJ? I must be missing something.

"All Revved Up and No Place To Go" does seem better suited to drag racing.They used to play Little Deuce Coupe and Hot Rod Lincoln blaring over crappy loudspeakers at all of the NHRA national events numerous times a day.

Maybe it's time to introduce them.Nobody under 70 years old knows those songs.
NASCAR needs to reel in a younger fanbase.
Heck yeah, that sounds like right proper cluster puck to meMaybe it's time to introduce them.
Regardless of the selections, I'm still not seeing the value of a DJ. They could save the money AND get attendee engagement by having musical suggestions for the breaks texted to the facilities' TwitFace page, or responding to a survey. Those would yield addresses for future marketing efforts too.
You have to realize this is LA. The birthplace for pink, orange, and purple hair.I admitted I may be missing something. I guess I don't see the entertainment value of a DJ. Is this a bar mitzvah, a senior prom, a quinceanera?
Charlie has led a sheltered life, take him down to Hollywood Blvd and stretch him out a littleYou have to realize this is LA. The birth pace for pink, orange, and purple hair.
They just spent over a million dollars hauling in a zillion loads of dirt and covering it with asphalt that they will be tearing up and hauling back out after the race. I think the saving money ship has sailed.Maybe it's time to introduce them.

Then you would have people trolling and sending in stupid songs on purpose.Maybe it's time to introduce them.

Okay, ya got me with that one. I’m familiar with unusual people; I’m social-media ignorant.Then you would have people trolling and sending in stupid songs on purpose.
Now who the Hell is DJ? Geesh.If they are broadcast on TV, I will end up recording the race. I have no interest in Pitbul, Ice Cube or DJ.
