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 😂

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

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.

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

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?

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?

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”?

Had such a hard time finding a good flag for May. We just got this one from a locally owned company and it is so high quality!!

I’m interested in getting one of these mini scanners mentioned above but there’s not a lot of helpful reviews on them. The three main things I’m interested in are audio quality, reception quality and battery life.

Hi everyone. First time poster on here. Just wanted to share how awesome an experience I had at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, my first IndyCar race in decades, and it was the perfect way to get back into the sport. St. Pete is an incredible host city—the waterfront backdrop, walkable layout, and overall atmosphere made for a great race weekend. The weather on race day was perfect: sunny, mid-70s, and not too humid, which only added to the experience.

Seeing the cars in person again reminded me just how fast they really are. TV doesn’t do justice to the way they attack the corners and fly down the straights at over 200 mph. The level of competition and strategy stood out to me much more as an adult—tire management, fuel strategy, and push-to-pass all played a huge role. Every pass felt deliberate, and even small mistakes had major consequences.

The paddock access was another highlight. Seeing the cars and teams up close gave me a new appreciation for the engineering behind these machines. IndyCar does an amazing job of keeping the sport open and accessible to fans. I’m already thinking about which race to attend next.

Fully pumped to go to Long Beach!

Anyone else remember their first IndyCar race? What stuck with you the most?

I’m heading to the 500 for the first time this year and arriving a bit early. I noticed Eldora Speedway is hosting its Family Fireworks Night #1 event on May 17. I’d love to experience Eldora, but I’m wondering if the racing that night is worth checking out. Has anyone attended this event or something similar? Should I wait for a different race night to get the full Eldora experience?

This is my first post so forgive me if I make any errors, please just go ahead and tell me.

Today I watched the 1999 cart finale at Fontana, because that season is notorious for the tie between Montoya and Franchitti. Now, can anyone tell me the point distribution system in cart, because I'd like to know how the tie between the two came together. I tried to look it up, but I haven't found it anywhere.

Also R.I.P Greg Moore

Edit: Thanks to everyone who replied

Hello

I've been looking to the history of the top Indycar feeder series since its inception as ARS in 1986, trying to analyse the entry lists, the amount of drivers who went on to compete in IndyCars (both CART, IRL and the unified series), how many of them became winners and champions, etc... However, I first wanted to make sense of the teams that entered this championship. I thought about beginning in 1986, but there is some incomplete data and somke teams missing, especially from the 1986-1995 period.

Here is the list. There's a lot of incomplete data, namely on team owners (I took them off when I edited the post, as it might become more confusing. I'm sure there are also teams related to a previous one, like TJ Speed, which formed when they bought Belardi in 2021, and so on. Plus, in the last few seasons, there were almost only three or four teams, with the smaller ones being in partnership with the biggest, which only adds to the confusion.
