Brian,
I do a lot of work w/ ESPN covering motorsports. No offense here, but they don't want a DVX-100 or any Mini DV/DVCam camera, no matter how "serious" it is. Sorry, not trying to put you down or anything, just saying how it is.

The Indy broadcasts are done by Telex,a production company owned by Tony George.They are basically an inhouse production service for the IRL,and produce all IRL related video.ABC/ESPN justs broadcasts the event with ABC's talent,all production...ie cameras,directors ect come from Telex.
They are still located in Indy I believe,and the IRL PR dept can give you the address and number.
I am pretty sure they do some local hires,but as with NASCAR the director has his camera guys.
I used to do a lot of Nascar and now do most of my work for Speed Channel,usually 2nd tier series like Xtreme Dirt Car and Hooters Pro Cup.

tv shooter - EXACTLY what i was lookin for. thanks. all of the live stuff that i have done in the past was directly for abc (college football) and cbs (nfl) and wasn't produced by a 3rd party. all i need is where to send stuff - i'll fight the battle after that! thanks again.

TV Shooter, do you have some names of the production companies that shoot for Speed? I live right by Infineon raceway and want to do some shooting for the local motorcycle races. Got some contacts with the NorCal racers.
thx

Chet Burks indeed does the bike races. I've worked for them and they are really a great company. They paid onsite, perdiem upfront and milage was within about a week after I invoiced them.
