Nerd, loves tomatoes, occasionally does some lawyering. Probably obsessing over vroom (F1/Indycar), figure skating, and mourning over losing all my Oakland teams…

How am I only finding out about this video today? This is so amazing. But also how heartbreaking is it that this woman felt like she had to compromise on her love for tomatoes? Could never be me, I’ll die single before adjusting my tomato consumption for anyone else www.nytimes.com/video/podcas...

I dunno, I think Colton was very open from the beginning about what a difficult challenge it would be, specifically calling out the tyre management and learning circuits as being major issues. Let’s not get started on the mechachrome lottery or the fact that hitech seems to have missed the boat…

Montreal definitely had a water station or two but it was by no means extensive. I definitely remember seeing the lines at the water station near my grandstand and noping the fuck out to buy a Diet Coke.

This is good to hear, especially after the embarrassment of Markham last week. I genuinely hope they figure out a way to evolve this race into something less for Trump and more for Indycar fans more generally. Would really be nice to have a regular Indycar race on the east coast/in the northeast.

Street courses are a very common component of many motorsports series, including F1, Indycar, Formula E, even NASCAR in downtown Chicago. Some of the most iconic races in the world happen on streets “not meant for racing” like the Monaco GP or Macau. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_...

100%, I know friends who are just out on Indycar now and it sucks. My loathing for Roger was deep before all of this but to see the absolute glee of the series leadership … it is very demoralizing. See if this link works - archive.ph/2oSr1

👍. Not sure why you’re in the replies of someone who is clearly a race fan but I hope that whatever you do to live your life and get through your day, no random person comes in to moralize at you and try to make you feel bad about it. But that’s just me.

Yep, and Indycar will have to live with that. But as I’ve said, I’m not removing myself from the conversation because I refuse to let them define Indycar w/o a fight. I’d encourage you to read this op ed, it does a much better job of articulating how I feel. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

It’s… really cool to see Indycars drive down Pennsylvania Ave. It’s really fucking cool. It is impossible to separate this race from the politics, but for those who aren’t vroom fans, I hope this piques their curiosity as to why fans like me, despite everything, are sitting in wonder at it all.

I appreciated this bts look at how the race came to be. It’s a small footnote to this whole whatever but I’m glad to see that penske entertainment tried to be a better partner to the city than other 250 events.

Thank you for reading. It’s so hard to see Indycar being used like this. So I think it is important to remind people that there are those in the Indycar community who don’t like what’s happening, don’t support this administration, and want better for the series.

For me, that is America and that is what the Freedom 250 should represent. So, I’m still here, out of sheer stubbornness, bc the bastards don’t actually get to steal that Indycar away from me. As my very wise Indycar bff once said, WE still get a say in the meaning of the things we love:

It had such a welcoming atmosphere, from meeting my favorite drivers to making friends across the country from all walks of life. I’ve gotten to attend the Indy 500 with 400,000 of my closest friends and realize that I am now a part of a motorsport tradition/history that goes back over a century.

I understand why so many people are going to write off Indycar because of today and I will never begrudge anyone for that. Indycar made its bed, now it must lie in it. At the same time, I’ll be watching today, because for better or worse, finding Indycar really did feel like finding a home for me.
