Are you watching Grand Prix of Long Beach 2024?

It's almost that time again! Formula 1 Long Beach is coming to our backyard here in California and we are excited! This Sunday April 21st get ready to watch an awesome display of racecars duke it out! Let us know if you'll be watching and who you'll be rooting for!

Here's a couple shots from previous years:

Will be watching on the tube.

Great racing weekend with Indycar, IMSA, and historic Indycars.

This racing weekend is one thing I miss about Southern California.

Not listed yet on the schedule for broadcast TV. I think one of 2 years it was blocked on L.A. but since they just about sell to capacity every year, not a problem. Reserved seats for Sunday sell out in advance.

Likely Matt is unaware. I was until you posted that link. I watch races on TV when they come on. I have no cable or subscriptions because that's all I watch on TV. It sits for 6 days at a time before being turned on. Therefore, a lot of the background shenanigans go unnoticed by me.

FWIW, I would have simply PM'd Matt instead of calling him out. But, OTOH, I'm that much wiser about the POS.

"calling out"? That dramatic? Farnbacher crashed and burned... for awhile they were the the shiznit... Then what was behind the curtain was revealed...

Many other people were hurt

Mentioning Matt by name in itself is calling out IRRC as a former mod. Not dramatic, just a fact.

No disagreement about the fact that that team was funded by an obnoxious scheme, a fact that apparently not everyone knows.

Have you sent that PM yet?

No broadcast TV this year that I can find. I guess I'll watch Talladega.

Me too, assuming that's the case.
