Moderators needed

The current moderator volunteered because there was no moderator listed and that didn’t seem like a good thing.
He has no idea what he’s doing, but he’s open to input.
He’s especially interested in input that starts “Hey, can I be a moderator?”
He believes a good moderator is a thermostat, not a light switch. The goal is to keep the place comfortable, not dictate what is seen.
He’d really like some help getting this community off the ground.

Rules

Be civil with your words.
Be kind with your intent in saying them.
Always be open to the idea that the person missing the point in any conversation might be you.
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Hey there. Mrs. CrankyBear here. I was a casual race fan growing up, but living in Indiana for four years made me love the month of May. As Tom mentioned, we started watching all of the races about 20 years ago now. I loved watching Dario Franchitti and then James Hinchcliffe. Yelled the loudest for Sarah Fisher though. Right now, I’m so happy that you never know who is going to win. (Okay, maybe not Ferrucci. 😁)

We watched F1 for several years, but this year’s “All Max, all the time” killed that. So we’re watching Indy NXT instead. Honestly tried to watch NASCAR, but it’s so damn boring.

It’s exactly 4 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 22 seconds until the most beautiful words in the world…

DRIVERS, START YOUR ENGINES!

P.S. Bonus points to you if you read all of this and know where my post title is from. 👍🏻

In the same boat with F1 and NASCAR. Love F1 in some ways, but as much as I try to care about the midfield, I just can't, and knowing a Max victory is a foregone conclusion has made me more likely to not tune in. I even finally cancelled F1TV (though that also has to do with me getting a streaming package that includes ESPN2).

As for NASCAR, I tried to watch after Ross Chastain's Martinsville comeback, but that Phoenix race was painfully dull, and the gimmicks in the name of entertainment just turn me off of it further.
