Not the most knowledgable Lemmy user. Hell, certainly not the most knowledgeable IndyCar fan for that matter. This not-a-subreddit/community (Lemmy)/magazine (kbin) is getting off to a not-atypical IndyCar ragged rolling start.
I've followed it steadily since my wife and I noticed around 2003 or so that we really liked watching the 500 and that maybe we ought to watch more of the races. Went to the 500 in 2007 as well as the last time they were at Kentucky Speedway. I've got some mobility issues (and don't really enjoy crowds), so I've had to be satisfied by whatever part of the race NBC (and ABC before that) deign to show between the same five commercials they show over and over and over and over and over.
I'm not aligned with a particular driver. I'm a regular listener of "Off-Track" so I'll always pull for Rossi, and I've liked Pato since he came in. But outside of Sting Ray Robb, it's not like any of them really annoy me. My wife can't stand Ferrucci, but he just reminds me of every cocky college student I ever taught. Plus I grew up in Houston and any association with AJ Foyt is a plus. I think it's the refinery fumes from Pearland.
So anyway, that's why I'm here. What about you?
