VikingSkull posted:True, that would have kinda sucked, but it would have been worth it for the story. That's a race that is more historic than a poo poo ton of others. That is true. And being there was quite the experience. I just wouldn't categorize it as a good one. It really seemed for a while like there would literally be a riot. And I don't care what any of the commentators said, the vast majority of the people throwing poo poo on the track were the all the people from overseas that came for the race. Understandably so, as well, given how much most of them had spent to get there. I did get to meet some cool Brazilians and a couple nice Spaniards, though, so it wasn't all bad.

KingShibby posted:Pocono is on my list of "bucket list" tracks because it's 10+ hours away to drive, and that's a long rear end drive. It is 11.5 hours of driving for me, and I've been twice. I usually do it in one shot, though I wouldn't recommend that for most people. I take a 30 minute nap at gas stops if I need it and it isn't a big deal to knock out. I'm probably going to go next year (assuming it stays on the schedule), so if you want to drive a bit south we can meet up.

devmd01 posted:Panther auction is live. Looking at the terms I can't bid on anything, no way I can get down there by 3pm tomorrow to pick up anything I win. I'm more taking issue with their ridiculous 18% internet premium since work boned me and I can't get there today.

If you're talking moving freight, though, Indy's airport is a major FedEx hub and is home to quite a few air logistics companies. And realistically, it is one of the easier airports for people to get in, around, and out of.
