Just clicked the button to upgrade to Windows 11. Can't wait to find out how this makes my life worse.

We're packing up all the success ballast and heading West until we hit the Far East.

Tonight JIMDYCAR tackles Japan's tricky Fuji Speedway.

Real life IndyCar hasn't visited since 1966.

It was. It even reached some great heights. But it sadly feels like its owners: old, out of touch, and just riding out its last days without making a fuss.

Hey what if NASCAR didn't shutter a great track? JIMDYCAR is in the Andretti's back yard, Nazareth! Short oval carnage assured.

What's the point in having a wet racing tire if you won't race in wet?

The previous set wasn't perfect, but it was nice. If you're going to change something, I'd rather it be a worthwhile change. Not just a not-so-subtle reach into fans' pockets for the sake of it.

So it's important to note (hah) that none of this looks outrageously bad. Its all hair splitting because the Blues' look is almost idiot proof.

However, among other thoughts, this is the worst backside to any jersey in Blues history.

This would have been really, really, really cool in 2008.

It's change for the sake of change that's demonstrably worse.

But you can't argue with the end result in a way, because the powder blue always will look nice.

98-07 is still the best Blues jersey era ever

I asked them. I'm going to be bummed if it's a ghost town, so I hope I'm not wrong. But I don't want to erroneously try to correct you.

No worries!

St. Louis is my hometown, and IndyCar my favorite sport. I've got a lot of motivation to make sure everyone loves everything connecting the two.

But I'm not an insider, so maybe they did close those sections this year? But I can't imagine why they would!

I assumed the black sections of main grandstand have sold out/were bought up by vendors/corporate partners. I'm not positive, but it'd be a major decrease in attendance out of nowhere between 2024-2025 that they somehow predicted well ahead of time if black sections of main stand have no fans

I'm confused.

I've got tickets to this race this year, had them last year too. The entire grandstand in 2024 was used, and was pretty well packed.

The only tickets currently available are in the red and purple section. Red is assigned. Purple is General Admission.

I agree with IndyCar needing to punch back at F1

But ticket sales are going well for WWT

That's the zoomed out view, which shows what sections have available seats. When I checked zooming in, it's like 1 or 2 seats available (red dots) in each section.

Assuming I'm reading this right on my phone.

As a local I call it Worldwide Technology Raceway (or just Worldwide) because every 3rd business in St. Louis metro is called "Gateway"

"So I went to Gateway last night"
"Dude, you were at the sewage plant last night?"
"No the other one"
"The loan people? The dump? The coffee place? The salon?..."
