@Chad__15 Still seat areas covered@IMS. 20k seats in Wallace Grandstand @WWTR alone, covered. Baked @Iowa & witnessed sponsor packed stands, then no-one for mid-day July once it was Indycar rental. Starting a Sunday race @ 9 pm isn’t attendance friendly either! Got to care about fans too

[Bill W🇺🇸🇺🇦 @WWwasson]

@kstephenson93 @ChrisBlair4B south(largest) grandstand was empty. Racetrack was empty for NXT race & after rain. Indycar’s priority is TV, not fans in the stands & it’s simple, they get their $ from TV, have enough to rent track & fill seats w/ sponsor tickets & charge $$$ for what tickets they do sell

@mkraju @greggnunziata only retiring legislators can make independent decisions on policy w/o the consequence of “party leaders” spending $ derived from corporate/special interests to defeat ‘em. The 2010 USSC decision Citizens United v. FEC fundamentally corrupted campaign finance & thereby our system

@BretBielema @IllinoisRivals Nobody wants another Pro league, ask USFL, XFL, WFL- w/NCAA & sports marketing folks miss(bc professions/backgrounds r grounded in sports) is success of NCAA sports is largely derived from proximity/association & cinderella runs wwb largely eliminated by “super league”🤷‍♂️

@TheFieldOf68 SENIOR MOMENT-in a during game interview, instead of brief comment & getting back to huddle/takes time to complain about 1) way the game is being called; 2) that the other coach is complaining about same thing; & 3) complain about player’s jersey being ripped, she did herself

@ThorningMichael @BPC_Bipartisan @seungminkim The result of gerrymandering in both red & blue states, reps. that are only responsible to the party, they only worry about getting through a primary that is largely controlled by the party itself, they don’t have to worry about a competitive general election putting them @ risk.

@ENERGY wind/solar give farmers alternatives, reduces dependence on fossil & foreign energy w/ ever increasing cost from decreasing availability & bitcoin mining increases our electric $. So be more dependent on fossil fuels & not add electrical supply= + someone’s investment portfolio.

@BoLoudon Every dime out of our own pockets in higher prices, collecting a “secret tax” on everything, including food, drugs-the most regressive way possible to tax w/o calling it a tax & impact those w/the least most, so billionaires get tax cuts. But you “may get a dividend” portion back

@SecretaryBurgum @Interior Recognizing that bald eagle is a national symbol, 
bald eagle population has quadrupled since just 2009, reaching 316,700+ individuals & 71,467 known breeding pairs in the lower 48 states in 2020. In 1960s only 417 known breeding pairs remained. Not an issue, just distraction

@champwebdotnet TV priority over live crowds increases, start times that fit TV windows vs. help attendance like afternoon starts in Iowa & Sunday nights n St. Lou, we’ll see cartoonish tracksides -think F1, & soon use A1 to create “races” w/o drivers, crews, teams “but it will be good TV”

[Bill W🇺🇸🇺🇦 @WWwasson]

@Zillygisbergen If it’s just tooo much green flag then so be it, but commercials shouldn’t ever extend through a restart after a typical yellow. I can’t recall ever seeing that happen before( but I’m sure it has), just shouldn’t happen, poor work by the TV crew on that one.

[Bill W🇺🇸🇺🇦 @WWwasson]

@champwebdotnet At least the lead car could pass the last place 1 this year. Mid-day heat has been terrible, U don’t need concerts, but u have to give attendees a days worth of entertainment to make travel worthwhile, can be USF2000, IndyNXT, even USAC. PS, start selling tickets before June.

@RivianTrackr There are IDIOTS on both ends of the spectrum. Vandalism/theft aren’t political statements, they are crimes & wrong, regardless of any political motivation. Unfortunately, there are plenty of politicians who encourage a “team sports” mentality of one side against everyone else

[Bill W🇺🇸🇺🇦 @WWwasson]

@JennaFryer It’s a real problem for Indycar right now, lots of this problem on ovals last year, some passing during and right after pit stops, but after 4-5 laps, nobody can pass, including the lead cars over back markers.

[Bill W🇺🇸🇺🇦 @WWwasson]

@JennaFryer Mr. Boles stated that as far as he knew, everything was correct on cars Saturday that qualified. It is inconceivable that there are not photos or video that can confirm if the modification was in place Saturday That ? should be addressed & if affirmative, cars should be removed.

@atrupar Placing blame doesn’t solve problems, taking responsibility does. Be a problem solver, not a problem maker!

@TristanSnell Goal-limit completion for Tes-la, largest charger network in US. Operator would say level 2chargers r slow & not needed, operator’s bus. does it faster-used govt. $ to help build, now limit others. Truth, level2 chargers @ destinations allow charging @ home & avoid Tes-la $
