Indycar is just as impressive as F1 on road courses. I don't know all the rules. They're both super-sticky rockets. Indycar just, I dunno... I know it's all a rich man's game so the impression is bullshit, but it feels like it's in the sweet spot between beer-&-brats of NASCAR and champagne-&-caviar of F1.

Even though Indy Car is distinctly American I fully understand that sentiment.

Just today, a guy in church was complaining about getting the projector going. That falls on me because no one else has easy access to the ladder needed. It got hit with a surge 4 weeks ago, Took 3 weeks to get the parts, and all last week I've been working 13+ hours/day. Weather finally broke, so now the summer panic has set in on everyone to get all their construction work in. So I took some unofficial personal time on my day off to do wtf I wanted for a change instead of spending 4-6 hrs doing yet another thing for a different cause with a different boss So sue me. Like I said, now you're just sounding old and crotchety. "Damn millennials can't do PT like we used to!"

Well, I know certainly attending an Indy race would be waaay cheaper that trying to attend an F1 race. Did a quick search, the average price is $114 for Indy. So, Dollar for Dollar you get more out your money from watching Indy. I merely watch F1 out of habit, I've been watching since I have a memory, wasn't privileged to be able to watch Senna race, but was lucky to watch Schumi and other greats from his era. Now is just, well, you know. Not saying there aren't great races out there, but is certainly not as it used to be. |

I'm not sure if anything is.

The perks of the rank. You're expecting way to much from a unit of Mechanics/Drivers. Same thing in my old signal unit, we had 3 SGTs that were pieces of lard. At one point less than 50% of the unit was fully in the green. Can you request to go to a Ranger/SF unit. Im sure you could persuade the CSM to push PT. CSM or 1SGT love anything that makes soldier's life miserable. |

You're right. I'm all for the sake of safety. Can't really enjoy a race if your favorite driver busts into flames after falling from the edge of a cliff. But it gave the sport that extra heat (See what I did there) in order to put the extra effort to wake up early in the morning or stay up late to watch a race on the other side of the world, and it was worth it because you never knew what would happen. |

Sht, I must've been raised on a track then, Honduras's roads are mostly dirt roads. No wonder it was so much fun when my dad would send it on his dirt bike whenever he would take me for a ride. A lot of people do it for the same reason I still watch F1; habit, tradition. F1 has always been all about the money, or at least pretending you have it if you attend after you just paid an average month of rent/mortage for 1 day of either FP, Quali, or Race Day. For safety, that would never happen. I think we have rally for that. Now, bringing back the V10s or V12s, now we are talking. |
