NOTE:
You can see the above 2 images Scott McMillin & George Seeley at their respective LiveWebcast sites hosted by TextAmerica.com. (click on URLs below)

A special LiveWebcast website prior to the Baja 500 was setup for McMillin Racing & Seeley Racing (& other race-teams): Click on the above links to see the Live Coverage from the Baja 500.

The "Baja 500 project" is also demonstrating, how Jumplive,com can help INDIVIDUAL race teams (in addition to helping the sport, via LiveWebcasts for SCORE or BITD), with a LiveWebcast for their particular team/car. Needless to say, the above URLs should be linked from the respective official race-team sites. (I.e., McMillin Racing, Seeley Racing, PCI Racing, Vildosola Racing, Baldwin Racing, Pflueger Racing). Then, for future races (like the BITD McMillin Nevada 1000), these race-teams & others can benefit from a LiveWebcast that features their car/team.

Jumplive.com is excited about bringing the New Technology (Web/Internet, Mobile-Devices & Satellite-DSL) to OffRoadRacing, as an "Alternative Model" for Media-Exposure & Public-Relations. ("Standard Model" is Television/Print-Media, which is a tough challenge for OffRoadRacing. It simply doesn't get the high-profile coverage it deserves). Hopefully, SCORE & BITD will realize this & work with Jumplive.com to link to future Jumplive.com LiveWebcasts.

I.e., we need a link 1 month in advance, to let the OffRoadRacing constituency know about this LiveEvent. Also, we need to test to see if there's any interest in such a LiveWebcast, in terms of web-hits (towards the goal of an "Advertising Model"..or possibly a "Subscription Model"). As of right now, BITD & SCORE have not linked to the 2 most recent Jumplive.com breakthrough LiveWebCasts at the Terrible Town's 250 or Baja 500! Here, we need more Cooperation/Coordination/Collaboration (it's called Team Work!) among the various parties..Jumplive.com (Technology) & SCORE/BITD (the Race-Sanctioning bodies). I am getting a lot of positive feedback from Racers/Fans, especially some high-profile racers ready to help out in terms of capital-investment.

I am hopeful that the OffRoadRacing community can come together soon (!), to bring a LiveWebcast as a representation of the "Alternative Model" for Media-Exposure/Public-Relations. I feel Mobile-Devices (WiFi, cellphone networks) & Satellite-DSL (global network) is the LightSpeed Technology, that is the breakthrough that OffRoadRacing needs to lead us into the 21st century.
