Battle
of the Imports launches BOTI.TV
The Battle of the Imports announced
today that it has launched a new website, BOTI.TV. in cooperation with
YoParts.com. BOTI.TV will be home to live streaming broadcast coverage
beginning with the Battle of the Imports presented by YoParts.com, to be held
this weekend at New England Dragway located in Epping, NH.
"Being able
to stream live event coverage is something we have always been interested in
bringing to our fans," commented Frank Choi, Battle of the Imports. "Using
metrics from our beta webcast of our season opener event (Orlando, FL) brought
to us by YoParts.com coupled with the overwhelming response from users, we have
added many more features than the previous single camera webcast."
"Tom
Masiero, Founder, YoParts.com put together a revolutionary format on the way
our events will be covered," added Choi. "YoParts' commitment to the continued
growth of sport compact drag racing is exhibited not only by this collaboration
but, by their commitment to our series and the racers too."
Tom Masiero
added, "Our #1 priority is to help this industry grow and we feel by offering
the services that we do to thousands of our wholesale club members and now the
ability to connect race fans all over the world with the original founders of
sport compact drag racing is a great match."
The webcast is scheduled
to go LIVE this Friday, May 9th at approximately 6:00 PM EST starting with the
first round of pro-class qualifying. The live webcast will continue on Saturday
with gates officially opening at noon.
BOTI.TV will feature two (2)
viewing channels. The "YoParts.com Race Cam" channel will feature all the
action on the drag strip including a separate player displaying the announcer's
screen where, fans at home will be able to witness incremental data such as
reaction time, 60-ft time, 330-ft time, 660-ft time and MPH, quarter-mile E.T.
and MPH previously only seen by the track announcer as well as 3 camera HD
coverage of all the action on the track.
Secondly, the
"BattleoftheImports.com Action Channel" will feature all of the drama and
action happening off the track such as driver and team interviews, carshow
action, stage activities, vendor interviews, etc.
BOTI.TV has the
ability to give the viewers more than just a live webcast. Users will also be
able to chat with other users real time. "We wanted to make this webcast an
interactive experience," added Choi. "Fans from all over the world will be able
to chat with one another from the comfort of wherever they may be."
The
Battle of the Imports presented by YoParts.com will also be giving fans a
chance to win a $10,000 shopping spree by purchasing a special 6-month
membership package for only $10.00 at the gate. Additionally, the Battle of the
Imports presented by YoParts.com will play host to a Scion VIP event where
owners of more than 100 Scions will be attending a special event within the
event.

massive email campaign will be sent to over 500,000 sport compact enthusiasts
over the next few days.
