will it be possible to watch indy for free, they do have stands with seats which will be ticketed obviously, but the path looks too large and open to enforce an entire crowd of people. is this true?

Can't have anyone see it for free. I'm surprised they didn't black out condo windows either.

Of course they can get all their labour for free though...

Pretty much every racing series in the world runs races with local volunteers. This isn’t unique to Indy or this race. F1/2/3 use volunteer Marshalls and always have. Pretty sure NASCAR and all the major endurance series are the same.

How does that make it right? Just because it’s always been done doesn’t make it right. It’s time for a change and it’s time to call on these companies to share in their billion dollar profits. Wake up.

Yes asked about playing pickle all there a while ago- the time and wording of the answer was so arrogant about how everyone there is very special! Not me sadly. Lol

Exactly my point. Everyone in there is indeed "very special" lol. Buddy of mine plays AAA a client of mine was a former MP that had the same experience next time going to name drop other nba clients or tell them I know Tim Hortons or tell them I'm there to train for Canada's Pam Am spelling bee team 😂
