MA Pro Racing debuted its new live-streaming platform –
FansChoice.tv - at this year's AMA Pro flat track and Pro
road races at Daytona International Speedway.
FansChoice.tv is in lieu of a television package for the
2014 AMA Pro Road Racing and Pro Flat Track seasons,
though the online streaming service has the benefit of al-
lowing fans to watch races live for free around the world.
Another bonus is the fact that the live races are archived
and are thus available on demand, though as of Monday,
March 17 the archives from Daytona still weren't available
on the site.
Fans got their first chance to test it out during the first
round of the AMA Pro Flat Track round Thursday night
at the Daytona short track. The live streaming let you
choose from three different cameras: You can view in
full screen mode or watch the race on a smaller screen
while also viewing live timing and scoring data. And as an added bonus, fans
could listen to audio from the PA system at the Daytona short track or the commen-
tary crew of Barry Boone and Scott Russell at the Speedway during the road races.

rad Baker had the opportunity to meet Motorcycle
Hall of Famer and two-time AMA Grand National
Champion Bobby Hill at Daytona this year.
"It was an honor to meet one of the past greats of the
sport," Baker said. "We got a chance to talk for about five
minutes and it was nice to see he was interested in what's
happening in racing today. It gave me a good feeling to
know that by winning the championship last year, my
name is now there in the record books alongside those
great champions of the past like Bobby."
