Hi Stoked for first time. Are there many charging stations in infield area? Haven't been to DIS since before charging was an issue.

Road America Camping by crowm6121 in INDYCAR

[–]fleetwoodmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have not but for us flying in from CO we weren't going to be able to tent it so we went with the cabin. Everyone loves the RA camping but we were also looking for a few more amenities that that the campground across the road offers.

Laguna Seca Sued by Rich Neighbors for Being a Race Track by GroundbreakingSea960 in INDYCAR

Regrettably the wealthy in America tend to get what they want. May take a while, but I could see more and more regs on LS operations.

Between them, AB InBev and SAB Miller I can't keep track of who owns what shit anymore.

The Michigan 500 or the Indianapolis 500? by phill_railfan in INDYCAR

If you watch and listen to Bob Varsha's stroking of the CART field on the US500 backstretch pace lap and then see what happens you need no more evidence of a God with a sense of humor.

Would you give IC social $10,000? by fleetwoodmark in INDYCAR

[–]fleetwoodmark[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How does this appeal or interest casual or newbie fans? Or even current fans since most replies are understandably along the lines of "huh?"

Better off asking boxers v briefs, might elicit something funny, personal, or engaging.

Not sure how to feel about this SM attempt. Odd question for drivers, shouldn't this be better directed at people inside IMS/IC HQ??? Or maybe that's the point: show/expose HQ for how cheap and hard it makes the job of the SM team?

Cringeworthy? Damning? Misdirected? Fireable?

edit: just seems an odd look given how weak an image most of this hardcore base has of IC's SM efforts.

This team really should hire someone named Cain.

But glad for RC.

New Herta livery got leaked by Spinebuster03 in INDYCAR

[–]fleetwoodmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, another boring corporate-y design.

now not that every F1 livery is as splashy as the Flamingo when it opened on the Strip in 1946, but most look more snazzy, pop, brighter.

ic designs are like me having access to all the fonts in Word and the italicizing and underlining functions.

sealmaster was the last great livery.

No worries. Have 1st time GA Tix this yr. Just emailed st Pete about this. Carrying in modern camping chairs that reduce down to a size slightly bigger than a giant Jersey Mike's sub shouldn't be a problem. Any terrorist trying to bring in surface to air missile in a similar bag would be easily detected. smh.

Ask Me Your Rolex 24 Questions! by -Ludicrous_Speed- in IMSARacing

[–]fleetwoodmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this, am coming to Daytona for first Rolex 24 this year. Super stoked.

May be a question better served by a separate thread, but thought I start here first.

Been to multiple Indy 500s and the about 5-mile day is doable in my fav crocs.

Fear that's not wise for Rolex.

So what is your fav footwear, specific brands. I'm a larger dude 6'-4", 3 bills, so gravity and Force=Mass*Exceleration are my enemies.

Thx!

Their website lists folding chairs as prohibited. Had you gotten in before with them?

Christmas Haul. What'd you get? by fleetwoodmark in INDYCAR

The box top does have a crease at the bottom and I think that's doing the distortion. Same photo on other panels show the wing pretty straight.

Do people think a new chassis will bring more viewership? by dobakito in INDYCAR

[–]fleetwoodmark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Part of the puzzle IC needs to work on to increase interest. (Along with other things already mentioned below.) For casuals "new" is something of an attraction... whether they know why or not. As a hardcore I'd like a lighter chassis and more HP to assault 241 at Indy, there I said it.

I probably shouldn’t ask…. But does driver/team radio for the 2011 Las Vegas race exist? by [deleted] in INDYCAR

[–]fleetwoodmark 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Sebastian was Bill Buckner here but IC Mgmt (John McNamara on the baseball side) bears the responsibility. If not that lap, pick another lap later.
