IndyCar is still ugly. Make it along the lines of a Super Formula car.

It's a good step in the right direction. After what they had I'll take it.

Especially as NASCAR is getting worse lol.

Speaking off they released the new scheduled today:

Feb. 18: Daytona 500
Feb. 25: Atlanta
March 4: Las Vegas
March 11: Phoenix
March 18: Auto Club
March 25: Martinsville
April 8: Texas
April 15: Bristol
April 21: Richmond
April 29: Talladega
May 6: Dover
May 12: Kansas
May 19: All-Star Race
May 27: Charlotte
June 3: Pocono
June 10: Michigan
June 24: Sonoma
July 1: Chicago
July 7: Daytona
July 14: Kentucky
July 22: New Hampshire
July 29: Pocono
Aug. 5: Watkins Glen
Aug. 12: Michigan
Aug. 18: Bristol
Sept. 2: Darlington
Sept. 9: Indianapolis
Sept. 16: Las Vegas
Sept. 22: Richmond
Sept. 30: Charlotte (road course)
Oct. 7: Dover
Oct. 14: Talladega
Oct. 21: Kansas
Oct. 28: Martinsville
Nov. 4: Texas
Nov. 11: Phoenix

I can't believe they are going to use the Charlotte road course. WTF is that. So many really good road courses they could use, hell is not like Road Atlanta is that far away. The death spiral continues. Just kill it already.

Because the France family owns Charlotte. They don't own Road Atlanta.

TBH the new NASCAR schedule gets an A from me.

Yeah, except its a shitty course that is gonna produce awful racing. I agree I think most of the moves on the schedule make sense. The CLT road course and all the **** they have done to negate what NASCAR used to be pretty much suck. I guess they are trying to appeal to fair weather fans with short attention spans. Of course when you alienate your core fans/region and then the fair weather fans decide something else is shinier it's time to start coming up with gimmicks to stay relevant.

Never thought I wood say this but if Indy plays their cards right they have a chance to do what CART could only dream of doing, make open wheel racing in the states moar popular than NASCAR.

New Indy cars look soooooo much better. I think the road/oval cars are the best of the two. Excited to watch next years season.

Also, I'll be in Cali tomorrow for 4 days, sup?

LA or SD?

People assume San Diego, San Bernadino, San Jose and San Fransisco are all right next to each other when it's more like Miami to Tallahassee.

My friends are like "hey I'm flying into LAX are you close enough to meet up?"

sure let me take a day off work and drive 14 hours to have lunch with you

Was surprised to see this in Madison. Turned out the owner of the restaurant was from San Diego. He closed the Madison store down and moved near the University of Michigan. He called the California burritos at his restaurant either Badger burritos or Wolverine burritos.

EDIT: The Michigan location closed down too.

Third Ward is a very gentrified/white area, Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design is in that neighborhood. Generally solid area, she probably left the keys in the ignition. Not a great idea in any area. That's on the Southern side of Milwaukee too, generally anything that isn't the North side is going to be halfway decent at worst.

i don't understand the term whitewashed in this case. is that commentary on lack of ethnic diversity or homogenized culture? or both? or something else
