As someone who directs live television, I can say Vicki is correct, there is way too much distance involved, even when using fiber optic camera cable. Plus there is no alternative route to get to the various locations. Racetracks and golf are two sports that take up a lot of cable and time to setup, but those distances are only 1/10 of what Pikes Peak would require. An event like that is better covered by individual camcorders (like the cameras that cover the news), shooting documentary style and the footage edited together to make a show. Brian A.
