I don't go anymore because the ticket prices are high and I don't enjoy the spec racing classes very much. The cars being essentially all the same and the especially the engine leases take all the fun out of it for me. I find slingshot aero passing at the end of the straightaway to be uninteresting and push-to-pass to be gimmicky. I don't care much for most of today's indy car drivers. There's usually at most one to three drivers who I really care about seeing do well. And usually the drivers I like the best are ones who have no chance of contending for a win. Anymore I don't like having my personal belongings searched just to get entry into an event/facility.
Plus, I found out that the Little 500 is cheaper, more interesting, and has more competition. Sprint cars are more powerful and more readily display driver ability. I identify with the drivers much more closely and therefore find a higher emotional connection to the event.
