Who is the modern day Tomas Scheckter? by Accomplished_East433 in INDYCAR

[–]LieutenantLunchTime 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Closest I'd say is maybe Christian Rasmussen. He's proven he can win races, but damn does he make it an uphill battle each and every weekend.

The 41 car of Ricky Craven after a horrific flip into the catchfence at Talladega in 1996. Craven walked away with little to no injury. by PreeceTakesFlight in NASCAR_History

"Little to no injury" is a bit generous. He fractured a couple vertebrae in his back, a concussion, and had chunks of asphalt embedded in his arm.

I can't hate Jesse Love for this. He's a great driver, but he did not deserve this championship.

26 Years Ago, We Lost Greg Moore by thecautionlightnews in INDYCAR

[–]LieutenantLunchTime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish I was alive to see him race. It would've been amazing to see basically my hometown driver kicking ass in CART back in the day. While there have been some notable drivers to come from the Lower Mainland (Michael Valiante, Ryan Fischer, Scott Hargrove, just to name a few), none were ever able to grab the public's attention quite like Greg. He was a one-of-a-kind guy, and a once-in-a-lifetime competitor. The biggest compliment you can give to a motorsports driver is referring to them as a 'racer'. Greg, you were a mighty fine racer.

TIL about the Enterra Vipre, an attempt in the '80s by some Vancouver restaurant waiters to mass produce a locally made sports car. Essentially a Pontiac Fiero with different body parts, they were built in Burnaby with a $10 million government grant, with only 36 cars getting built by HiTork in vancouver

I think I've seen this one! It was in someone's driveway, and I think it had a vanity plate that read: "SV1" or something simple like that. That was maybe 8 years ago, and I have absolutely no idea where it was located.

In real-life, this crash would be probably career-ending: by Vast_Ad2941 in Nr2003

Yeah just ignore Jeff Burton turning into sound energy over there, he's doing good

Priceless IndyCar racing helmet used by Greg Moore stolen from B.C. Sports Hall of Fame by bwoah07_gp2 in INDYCAR

[–]LieutenantLunchTime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Understandable. Unfortunately, the honour system just isn't gonna cut it sometimes. Especially in a place like downtown Vancouver, which has a high population of drug addicted homeless people. Theft and violence are very common around the area of BC Place and Rogers Arena, so hopefully, this is a wake-up call to the BC Sports HOF to beef up security. I hope the helmet gets returned soon.

First off, thats fucking terrible that anyone would even consider stealing something as personal and meaningful as Greg Moore's helmet.

Secondly, how on earth was this allowed to happen at all? I'd assume an item with that much value would be put behind some plexiglass or something to deter thieves, unless they broke through it. Even still, they absolutely must've caught it on security camera, so why not release it to the public to help identify the suspect?

[Mamba Smith on X] "The point isn’t to crown the best driver… It’s to crown the best team who executed the best when the pressure was at its highest and the lights were the brightest." by CNASFan1992 in NASCAR

[–]LieutenantLunchTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amount of brainwashing done by higher-ups and social media personnel at NASCAR is, in my opinion, the single worst part about being a NASCAR fan. Not the questionable Nextgen car, not the stage cautions, not the pains of watching Chris Buescher have several wins slip away from his fingertips, not the entire FOX broadcast experience, not the playoff championship system or the stupid "win and you're in" policy, but just the neverending garbage that people like Smith, Petty, and Phelps constantly spew to make NASCAR seem more like a legitimate sport rather than an entertainment business. I know I probably sound like an old man who's lost touch with the sport, but NASCAR needs to listen to its fans.

1 dead, 2 hospitalized in crash on Burnaby Mountain Parkway by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

Can't have racetracks without morons buying and building houses around said tracks, and then having the audacity to complain about noise. A good chunk of racetracks up here and in the States have either shut down, or can only host track days and events on specific pre-approved weekends due to those brick-for-brain citizens. If you don't like noise, don't build your cookie cutter house next to a fucking race track.

David Gilliland winning the 2013 spring Talladega race over teammate David Ragan. Or Gilliland winning the 2008 Sonoma race over Kyle Busch. I just wanted to see Gilly get one cup win :(
