Thanks for the reminder. I've been wanting to do this and have a few extra buckets.

I've seen a few. They are relatively good looking. There are many reviews and videos shared by owners discussing how poorly the car is built.
All that said, I prefer IMSA to both.

Multiclass racing is exciting. Plus many of the cars are relatable to ones you might see on the street.

If you want entertainment then catch the Carrera Cup, Lamborghini Super Trofeo and Mazda MX-5 Cup racing that travels with Indy and IMSA. All are very fun to watch.
The last time I enjoyed F1 was the Schumacher days. To be fair IndyCar had some dark days--The Split. Today's IndyCar is much more watchable for me than F1.

One more important thing, decide what your goal is.

If you want the best lawn in the neighborhood understand that will take work. Cutting the yard multiple times per week and regular servicing weed infiltration. The "lazy man's grass" story is BS with Centipede. I reel low mine 2-3 times a week and am a hose dragger. Wish that I had irrigation. Because if that my yard is 100% better than any of my neighbors yards but I still see weak areas that bother the crap out of me. My back yard is zoysia and its biggest problem for me is that if left unchecked it will take over flower beds. I've learned to prefer it to the centipede.

Go on Amazon and get you some of the cheap rain gauges. Typically yellow clear plastic and set them around your yard. This will give you a better idea how much water your grass is getting per week. 2 30 minute sessions doesn't sound like a lot. You're looking for 1-1.5 inches per week.

If the inclines are washing out then those are primary areas to focus on to keep it from being a larger issue.

Core aerate and top dress with a good weed free sand sounds like a good plan. You should also be using RGS at label rate and timing to boost that centipede root system.

Get the StaGreen 16-0-10 and Celsius WG had in my earlier post. Don't overdo either.

Do a good soil test. Find whatever university near you has that has the kits. Understand the results and how they work with Centipede grass. Acidity can be wonky after a builder leaves. You are fighting soil issues that will take time to correct.

Think of this as a marathon and not a sprint.

Have you done a soil analysis?

How much are you watering per week?

Is it well rooted?

How much sun is it getting?

The areas that are doing well and others that are not? Describe those, please.

If you have a Lowe's near you see if they have StaGreen 16-0-10. Aim for a third of a pound of Nitrogen per square foot on your spreader.

For new grass I also like RGS-can be found on Amazon.

It's getting hot, thus you are getting limited with what selective herbicides you can use. Celsius WG is my personal favorite and can be sprayed in these temps. Typically takes 2 weeks and sometimes a second application. For new grass you should go with the lighter dose.

There are publicized pictures of the guy who was in a choke hold, because of course there are, in a full neck brace and gown on a hospital bed.

And a Sheriff, perhaps intoxicated and fighting in public. Geezam.

I understand why they do it, need to get 50-100 miles in, but I'm too fearful of bad drivers to do it. I keep my riding on trainers or trails. It's easy to ride the St Tammany Trace for either 30-100 miles.

To his point of 'not enjoying it.' Yep there are riders out there that are totally so immersed that they don't enjoy it. Just like runners.

For those of you that have been:

-How many days did you go? Assuming Friday through Monday are a must should I look at Monday or Tuesday as a travel day to get back home?

-Where should i get a hotel? Any recommendations reasonably priced. I don't mind needing to drive an hour (whatever that means on race day)


I'm either doing Indy or 24 Hours of Daytona in 2027. Both are bucket list racing events for me.

I've been saying for years that the percentage of wheelchair bound people is ten fold in an airport. Most of them are lardasses.
