the whole fuel save, constant passing for the lead, dragon tail nonsense didnt start until the ridiculous looking car in 2012 after the wheldon crash.

also, the racing feels more sterile now as the cars are homogenized. 90’s and earlier feel like theres an added layer of interest with all the engine/chassis diversity in the field

curious if with the new car they address this “no one wants to lead”?

I’m trying to find an audio file of Sid Collins eulogy to Eddie Sacks from the 1964 Indy 500. I already have a print out of it but if someone could post an audio file of it I really would appreciate it. It was Sid Collins at his best.

Was filling up my truck today and saw a Long Beach commercial on the gas pump. I live in NC so I was really surprised seeing the commercial somewhere other than TV. FOX is putting in the work. Also, check out the pollen covered screen 😂

Is it possible that Katherine can run the 500? I feel that Elf, would sponsor her, but is there an engine and chassis?

I made the IMS Pagoda in BrickLink Studio and rendered it in Blender. Hope you enjoy!

For some reason, I asked for physical tickets instead of digital ones, but now I don't think I'll be able to attend. Does anyone know if the ticket office would allow me to transfer from physical to digital in order to make transferring easier?

First time going to Long Beach GP. I live in the valley (red line to blue line) and taking the metro down. I’m having trouble finding which stop in Long Beach to get off at. Can anyone advise?

Also curious if the general admission Saturday is worth it? Is there a lot to do around the track?
