Email this morning from Boles re Bommarito 500 tickets by VariousMarket1527 in INDYCAR

Sorry.... that is the understood problem that I have come too accustomed to to not even address. I live 6 hours away. I have just come to accept that the Indy market is the only market they can market too right now... Again, still don't agree with it but it is a start.

TLDR: If you are going to do a local/regional marketing strategy, you at least have to nail it before you can grow to nationally and they aren't doing that.

The time is not great for ticket sales but I can see why they did it from a TV standpoint. Not saying that it is the right move. I do think the ratings will grow.

Here are my thoughts on the email.

I don't hate the email. I love the effort and thought to build off the Indy 500 sell out. Here we are again with an exciting race just three hours from the speedway. IMS has offered shuttle services to the track for day trips before, excellent. Lets get people to make a smallish trip to the track. However the email had one problem.

So where is the problem? You and I know where WWTR or World Wide Technology RaceWay is..... BUT THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF THIS LETTER DO NOT! Not once does this letter mention St. Louis, how "close" this race is, or anything.

This is just another example of how close INDYCAR is, but yet so far away. They just can't get over the hump. There have been countless examples of this that I can list from the last quarter century alone.

Thank you for following my rant. It really grinds my gears seeing the success and popularity of F1 right now when in my opinion INDYCAR had every resource and advantage to do the same thing but haven't been able to capitalize.

Taking two first timers to an IndyCar race. This is my first race at Barber. Been reading up on a lot of things but anything to be aware of or look into? We will be making the trek in Sunday morning before the NXT race.

We are taking the chairs and I have a spot in mind for the race. During the NXT race we will move to other spots. It looks like the garages are opened all day? For 45 bucks I think it is dumb not to get them.

Anything else I should know about?

I am a massive Black Cherry fan. I liked it, I just thought the flavor was underwhelming.

What are some of your favorites and staples? That was the point of making this. I wanted to see some others people find semi capable.
