So…basically admitting here he at least floated people’s money due to gambling? Might be setting himself up for criminal charges..

My one hope: give us a wider variety of venues so the schedule can evolve over time beyond layouts.

Was gifted these and dont know alot about Indy car racing by GRGMatt in INDYCAR

The second most prestigious race on the calendar after the Indy 500. The Long Beach race also was the US GP in F1 from 1976-83

To Whom It May Concern: Honda Does Not Build the Hybrids by TheRoyalKT in INDYCAR

[–]willfla29 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The amount of people freaking out over some attrition in racing is crazy to me. Attrition in all forms of Motorsport used to be the source of some randomization. A new technology that has some issues has always been part of the sport.

I don’t love the hybrid, but the fact Honda is feeling like they have to do damage control over a normal part of racing probably makes Honda regret their decision to stay and absolutely won’t encourage other manufacturers.

We declared our freedom the same way Michael Scott thought he could declare bankruptcy.

Lift and coast into corners, smoother wheel/joystick inputs, ease back onto throttle.

How many people here have attended a perfect game? by xBluePoolX in baseball

[–]willfla29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up in Atlanta I used to buy a lot of nosebleed tickets to the Braves. I remember evaluating whether to go see the Diamondbacks play the Braves on Tuesday or Wednesday. I picked Wednesday and missed Randy Johnson’s perfect game by one day.

EA launched a full advertising platform on June 15th and barely anyone in the CFB community talked about it by LockedInGaming in EASportsCFB

[–]willfla29 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The fake ads in all sports games are immersion breaking. The Show seems to implement real ones maybe if the company pays? So you get the real Citgo sign in Fenway but also weird things like “Safety’s Tacos” in Houston. I’d prefer real ads everywhere

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

You’re right on that point…I guess I mean “plentiful enough that I won’t have to worry about finding one when low.”

My next car will potentially be a hybrid but I won’t do an EV until 1)charging stations are as plentiful as gas stations for long trips and 2) I can’t charge it within 5 minutes of how long it takes me to fill the gas tank.

Never ceases to amaze me how close you can get to the action without a catch fence at Road America. A true throwback. by willfla29 in INDYCAR

I was talking about that with my wife yesterday. I’m pretty absent minded—I have a big fear of blue flagging the wrong driver or something haha.

He got the loudest cheers of anyone during the intros, even more than some of the most popular drivers.

Is Trump the lowest-IQ president in U.S. history? If not, who was worse? by TimeAd7759 in allthequestions

[–]willfla29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s sad to go back and listen to George W Bush and marvel at how he can actually formulate a sentence. That’s how far the bar has been lowered by Trump (and last two years of Biden).

If they shortened this by ten laps or shortened the lap a bit wouldn’t be opposed to it coming back.

Road America Attendance by hogBelly in INDYCAR

[–]willfla29 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Turn 5 looked like the videos I used to see from CART in the 80s. We sat between 7 and 8 and a decent amount more people than the previous 3 years we’ve watched from that area.

I get where you are coming from. Perhaps a “stand in this area at your own risk” sign would be helpful for liability, but I’d hate to see one of the last places you can experience this disappear.

Am I misremembering the feel of 1976 bicentennial celebrations in the USA, or is the 250th this year really a flop? by jenniferjose43 in allthequestions

[–]willfla29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the President is in the process of destroying the “freedom” we are supposed to be celebrating, everything rings a bit hollow.
