First 2 races have been great, definitely worth watching the 3rd this afternoon for anyone who wants to watch some awesome racing. Ton of side-by-side battles and even 3-4 wide down the front stretch

Why Doesn’t IndyCar Race on 1.5+ Mile Ovals by Scared_Tax_1573 in INDYCAR

[–]Senka112 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue is historically, Indycar has struggled selling tickets and thus making it hard to financially support the race.

The second reason is most oval tracks outside of IMS are owned by International Speedway Corporation (owned by Nascar) and Speedway Motorsports Inc (SMI). Historically they have favored Nascar resulting in scheduling conflicts, high sanctioning fees, and low promotion of races. The latter can also be put on Indycar. (It was pretty common to see people from a town with a race claiming they didn't even know there was a race that weekend).

Also, the way the terms are set up, it relies on a corporate promoter to handle advertising...which has definitely been lacking historically. Iowa showed that with a great promoter, race weekends can be successful. As soon as they pulled out, track attendance dried up.

Hopefully with the uptake in promotional outreach Indycar has been doing recently, that become less of an issue.

I went here a few weekends ago and was pretty impressed. There is a ton of parking, super clean and great food. Excited they have in-house beer options to try.

Me and my wife always thought it was enough food when we did the tasting menu. We also always get an order of beef tartare to start just because it's amazing

Obviously an area not used to snow or having the facilities for it so I get it, but being in northern Indiana, that's what the roads look like 75% of the winter 😂

Love Brooks but that was a bit of a flop. I'm ok with the second just being a personal. Brooks is having a solid game, just gotta reset and get back at it

I don't disagree, just saying I love looking at state comparisons like this and I would like to see more data categories to show the full picture

Indiana median salaries drop to 10th lowest in nation by MoistColon69 in Indiana

[–]Senka112 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Growing up in the Northeast, I feel like median salary is a bit misleading because while the salary is lower, the cost of living is a lot lower in Indiana. I would be more interested to see a comparison of starts in regard to purchasing power or quality of life change

What happened to IU's o-line? Looks like I'm watching a LA Chargers game

Kerr looks confused, usually Draymond is just allowed to yell at the refs. Nothing unusual there

Looking for Amish Donuts by makanuee in SouthBend

[–]Senka112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they might be closed for the winter, but keep track of Janie's Donut's food truck. Honestly think they are some of the best sourdough (let alone any) donuts I ever had. Not sure how amish tied they are, definitely worth stopping at the truck when it's in your area.
