I thought it was a good race for being at Indy. Normally Indy races are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not a fan of how late it started- once they got in the overtime laps and I saw the spinning start, I knew they'd wait until they got to the 'overtime line' to throw the caution so they didn't run outta daylight. HELLO....start the races earlier.....

I used to watch every week and go to MIS twice a year, but this will likely be my last year. It's never been about the ticket price- you can get a decent seat for a good price (they keep going down every year and they continue to make it easier and easier to pay with payment plans, etc) the parking is easy accessible and free, and you can bring food into the grandstands...it's the sanctioning body. Way too many random at will rule changes, start times are incredibly late- I live an hour and a half from the track; in June I didn't get home until almost 10 PM because of the start time of 3PM- who wants to sit around (or at the track) all day for the race to start? Having an infant this time next year, my favorite driver retiring plus all the above put the nail in the coffin. It's not likely I'll be going next year, and don't really care if I miss it on TV.

Rant over. haha
