Ok Race Fans, I'm going to see if there's enough FReepers interested in The INDYCAR Series for 2025 to do this for the Season. If there's enough then I'll start an INDYCAR PING LIST and have Threads for the rest of the Season.

This is the 3rd Race of the Season and next month Race 4 is The Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, AL followed by The Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosting Race 5 the SONSIO GRAND PRIX on the Road Course and Race 6, the 109th Running of The Indianapolis 500 on the Oval to finish out the month of May.

I lived in South LA in the 80’s and repaired computers on site. LBGP was a huge event, in a city where it takes a huge event to even be noticed. Many fans arrived by boat. I’m on call during the event in 1986 and got a call from the Hyatt Long Beach. Hard drive with the removeable 11 platter disc pack crashed. At the time, the course went through the Hyatt garage. I parked close and hiked ~3 miles in. No cell phones, so it took forever to talk my way in and get security access. Fortunately, had all the parts I needed and a 30 pound oscilloscope. I got the Hotel back online before the checker flag and checkouts started.

Who knew then that years later I would retire from IMS/INDYCAR in 2019?

Yes I’m in, just sorry Indy Car is so enamored of the sustainability crap. The world has been sustainable from the moment of creation and designed to be such as long as mankind is on God’s creation.

Sorry to hear of your medical issues.

“Formula 5000”

That rings a bell. Every time I’ve recalled that race during the past 50 years, I’ve tried to recall that name. Thanks to you, I need wonder no more.

}{€££, they all are doing it. Like the Cold War it's all about distraction and obfuscation.

Sorry to hear of your medical issues.

Thank You. The Echo Test was just a yearly thing. I got a list of a bunch of things:

Dentures, Sleep Apnea, A-fib, left foot needs to go bye-bye, finish getting left eye scratch healed up. I think I'm forgetting something else but oh-well Maybe I'll remember later. 🤪 Check out the above Post video.

✅TV- plus it costs too much to go to a Race these days, stay home in the A/C, food and beverage, have a good cigar, take a mid-Race nappy, clean toilet and paper to use.

If multiple Races are on the same day and times, swapping channels OR stack/ lineup multiple TV’s and watch them All.
