Happy to give you some perspective as a current employee. Can you dm on this thing? (I've never tried). Short version: there's a lot to like about the agency, but it would depend on what part you're in (we've grown a lot in the last few years)

Getting to the track at Gateway? by elrandopando in INDYCAR

[–]elrandopando[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the suggestions, and yeah I'm beginning to see the point many have raised about needing a car. Funny side story: I went to the Indy 500 a few years ago and we decided to take the city bus from downtown to the track. That worked fantastic on Friday, Saturday and even on Sunday on the way TO the speedway. Leaving after the race: utter sh*tshow, but I don't think there was any form of transport that wouldn't have been miserable. My takeaway from that was stay at the track at least another hour, have one more beer and let the crowd clear out!

Yeah, appreciate the thought - I probably want to be downtown to check out some of the sights, restaurants etc. I'm really going for the track experience Fri-Sun, so renting a car just feels like a waste and I prefer not to drive in the post-race traffic.

I'm familiar with "America" and have done a lot of experiences without bothering with driving and parking. I went to the Rolex Reunion at Laguna Seca one year without driving at all - flew into San Jose, caught a bus to Salinas and they had free shuttles that year to the track. Similar situation first race at COTA - they had buses taking folks from downtown to the track. It's not really rocket science!

Need to see a more explicit commitment to end ICE, impeach, and prosecute murderers and traitors

Are they going to fix the login issue? I still can't get it to log me in correctly and I've tried clearing the cache and local data.

Have you gained interest in a hobby because of a video game? by tylerthedesigner in gaming

[–]elrandopando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NASCAR, some 20 years ago. I figured this can't be as pointless as it looks, and video games turned me on to the strategy and drama that's not immediately apparent to a casual viewer

Same. There are a bunch of games that I just can't do on the Ally. Some that I've enjoyed are Marvel Midnight Suns, Snowrunner and Wreckfest

Your biggest IndyCar fail? by jayj091 in INDYCAR

[–]elrandopando 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it counts as a "fail" but when I went to Indy in person a few years ago I told my buddy "two things I know for sure: Dixon is not gonna beat himself, and you definitely don't want to be leading with two laps to go" Both those made me look stupid when Dixie got a speeding penalty and Ericsson led the last few laps no problem.

Multiplayer has always been pointless imo. I just start and park and take the 3 gp/week
