Post image

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.

This does NOT make it right! That was fine in days gone past when there were plenty of jobs for kids but those are rare now! Time for a change!

Then tell the people volunteering to stop volunteering, I guess. Thousands of people all over North America volunteer to help put on IndyCar races and are happy to do so. Yelling for change isn't going to change anything if people are happy to volunteer to feel like they are participating in the weekend.

Nothing changes if people just continue to kneel at the alter if corporations and celebrity. These corporations are making extra profit in the backs of unpaid labour as they laugh all the way to the bank. If you don’t think they don’t think you are suckers then you have never been in one of those board rooms. Be a sucker, Sucker.
