Chuh Ching!
Was A-L-L I could hear when listening to Group-A of
Round 1's Qualie' Shoot-out for the Indy GP Friday. As yeah, I begrudgingly get
I-T! The need to advertise; Err Monetize Hulman & Co's crown jewel; BUTT!
Imagine my disgust when the ridiculously
short 10min qualifying session's radio broadcast was INTERUPTED for nearly half
or more of the allotted time for SHIT, Y'ALL GUESSED I-T! Freakin' Commercials;
BARF!
As the words Ad Nausea conjures up a whole new
meaning to Mwah! Although I guess I should be happy that the Advanced Autoparts
IMS Radio Network live from the Firestone Studios on the ninth floor of the
Panasonic Pagoda for the Angie's List Grand Prix fueled by Sunoco; Oh Never
Mind! Y'all get the idea, right?
Whoa Nellie! For a
moment I thought I was listening to a 'RASSCAR race; Crikeys Mates! As what's
that O-L-D song 'bout signs, signs, signs, everywhere?
As I suppose somebody will tell me that A-L-L
of this Monetization is Good for the Sport, right? Although I've yet to S-E-E
how the profits are being re-invested into improving IndyCar...
After all, IndyCar cannot apparently even
make their Race Control Live Timing & Scoring webpage Screen Reader compatible! Nor have
they ever replied to my email I sent them upon this issue a few weeks ago...
And, after fumbling round to find the black-on-black
white circle Play icon, having once again changed the pages format; SHEISA!
Paul Page made the following comment during the final IndyCar practice session
about how they Don't bother giving us a running tally of Driver positions
because they believe everybody's watching I-T on their "SMART"
Devices and is following the scoring page instead; so let us know about that...
News Flash Mr. Page!
While I know I'm definitely in the minority,
but, as a legally blind "Keyboard Warrior," I totally depend upon the
radio announcers
verbally telling me what's going on Trackside, as well as what position the corresponding Drivers are in, since I literally CANNOT SEE 'EM!

Also, as my previous email to IndyCar tried
asking for politely. could you please standardize how to access the various
radio broadcasts, i.e.; IndyCar vs. Indy Lights logon procedures, and
especially, make the 'Uber difficult Play icon "Tagable," i.e.; text
readable by my Screen Reader so I can find the DAMN thingy!
Lastly, could you please try NOT wiping out
half or more of a ten minute Qualifying session with the requisite advertisements
you've sold, as there's plenty 'O time to play them during the Qualie' rounds
breaks, or at least spread them out...
Hmm? And I wonder
why I haven't been invited to listen in to an IndyCar Teleconference for the
past few years, now? As what's that comment 'bout the Fans; Forget I-T!
