Locating in Indy is a mixed blessing. Yes there is a bigger talent pool to choose from but that comes with less loyalty and a higher labor cost. During good times if an experienced engineer in Indy quits on Monday they'll be working somewhere else by Friday. Indy based teams are more prone to arms race style prices for trained crew.

If you're based in Columbus, Chicago or California you have a better chance of keeping your crew together for a longer period of time at a lower cost. Also, an individual team in Indy isn't likely to be able to work local tax breaks, but if you're in a place like Columbus you may be swing tax breaks you won't get in Indy.
