How many schools have Wabash in their heavy rotation?I know Texas has in the past and you have to imagine some dumb Indiana school does too

I went to Yosemite this weekend and holy crap. I'd never been before and now I don't know how people don't lose their complete crap after visiting. It's amazing. (And a four hour drive away)
I think for fall break we are flying to Fresno & doing Yosemite/Sequoia. Any pro-tips?
I was going to say all professional athletes are rich but I'll concede there's something different about a race car driver living in Monaco and a football player living in like an Overland Park mcmansionRich peopleWhat about F1 is so appealing to young women?
My theory is it's a soap opera and the boys are very cute and charming and kind of daredevils. I'm sure the Netflix show exploded the number of female fans in the US
This was a very big moment in my household:

I also have to laugh that Alito has a vacation home on the Jersey ShoreTo be fair (on this point only) he's from New Jersey and the beaches themselves are very nice
Bro pretty routinely calls black people by the wrong name, he can't tell us apart, it's funny as hell. I'd love to know what happens in his head when he sees a black person on the grid walk who isn't Lewis Hamilton. It really only ever happens in Miami.
it’s not just this playoffs, there’s so many great nba playoffs. but yeah this year is another great oneI especially like this one because it's got so many new faces for the casual fan. And they're so good
this minnesota-dallas gameThis playoffs is so great for the league.
If you aren't in some elite F1 party I'm sure it's like every other racing event. Sit there and watch cars go by having no real idea what is happening, probably even worse on a road course.
I tried one Nascar and indycsr event when KS opened, decided it was not for me. Seemed incredible waste of time.
I watched the F1 Vegas one and was only interested when I could see a Vegas monument

"based on my experience at a nascar race at kansas speedway, it would suck"
lol love ya phil
A car race is a car race. The F1 allure is the glitz right?
No
Not to go off track here but what is the difference in F1 vs Nascar or indycar?
Cars and tracks and rules and storylines and global presence. No ovals in F1 is probably the biggest along with races all over the world and also the cars are faster and more advanced than the others.
So car racing with fancy presence/parties. Going faster isn't a different experience. Indycar does road tracks and so does Nascar right?
I get there maybe differences to the trained racing eye but I wasn't getting that level of depth from the original question hence my original answer.
I saw the indy cars at the legends speedway once, I was bored 2 laps in as well.I looked into NASCAR at Watkins Glen but it isn't until September
The nhra races in Topeka were more casual friendly I think, and kept me entertained for the whole event. Maybe a trip to Topeka is in the cards for the michigancat household?

my boss went to the vegas race, he's not into racing, he took his daughter who is. He liked the cars, but he was not into the event, at all, said he'd never do it again.

honestly I'd prefer being around a giant group of KS Nascar fans to what I imagine the Euro F1 fan archetype to be. maybe I'm being a bigot towards slimy, smelly euros here though.
Are you afraid their avant garde fashion will make you feel inferior?
no, I grew up around nascar fans so their clothing is not too big a deal to me
I lived in Austin, and every fall, these rich critters would descend upon the city, making normal routines obsolete. I'ma pull a daxtag and say #Eurotrash. But it's very expensive, so they're wealthy Eurotrash. I have experienced them first-hand.

I will 100% be attending the Vegas GP in 2023. Can't wait!
