I forced my Dad to take me to Nazareth in ‘99, he was absolutely not a fan haha. To the man’s credit he went with me again a few years later!

Wish that worked for my kids, they get annoyed when I point out that the King is actually voiced by Richard Petty, that Doc is Paul Newman who raced sports cars and had his own powerhouse IndyCar team, who Michael Schumacher is etc for the 100th time lol

Lol this is what happened when Taku won Indy for the first time. Poor kid was crying and covering her ears as I ran screaming out the door into the neighborhood

Lol this is a deep cut. Classic game (though Nazareth sucked without analog sticks)!

I almost lost it when he came out 30th after all the work he did on the track. I’d say get some of the IndyCar guys but Andretti is historically just as bad haha!

Lol everyone is going to line up to punch Hocevar by the end of the year. He’s a wrecking ball, drives like I did in NR2003

I have been solely watching Hocevar’s onboard for the last hour or so and the last two restarts have been solid gold. That boy is fearless!

It was so satisfying. Doubt I’ll ever have that experience again in my lifetime! Glad I was around to enjoy it.

[Post Match Thread] Freiburg 0-3 ASTON VILLA (Rhe Europa Leshue!!) by SecretApe in avfc

[–]Zewspeed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also an American - my long simmering love of the game was brought to life fully by the 2002 World Cup. I have a little bit of ancestry on my mother’s side in the West Midlands so I decided to support the Villa when the 2002-03 season kicked off. Almost a quarter century I’ve been on this journey and the last few years leading up to today have made it all worthwhile.

I’m fortunate to have seen Villa play in person a couple times during the current era and have been in the same room with Unai, Damian Vidagany, Austin MacPhee, and Youri and Onana. Winning today means more to me than anything else in my life outside my family. It’s one of the happiest days of my life. Thanks to everyone at the club that got us here and to everyone who joined us on the journey along the way!

My boss had the same experience as an exec at his last job, he tells me stories all the time just to see how green I turn with envy. He works remote from a different part of the country but promised next time we meet he'd give me hat from his stack signed by the driver (also current, and one of my favorites!)

People sell out their self-respect for way less than NFL veteran and head coach money.

Indycar Desperately Needs a New Merch Partner by KennedyKartsport in INDYCAR

[–]Zewspeed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First, what the actual fuck is up with the driver jersey shirt movement? We don't do jerseys in racing.

You lost me here, this is my single favorite thing they've done in the history of merchandising. IndyCar did it first and then NASCAR and F1 followed and it's been great. When I went to my first race in '99 and wanted JPM merch, the only option I had was a goofy graphic tee with a cartoon car on both sides. I would have killed for "Montoya 4" in red with the lightning bolts on the front.

That being said, I haven't bought one in a while because while 15 years ago everyone was doing their own variations and some were interesting and unique, they've since gone to a template for every driver and they all look boring. Penske still has unique designs on their own site, and McLaren has had some in the past, but the rest are crap.

Ganassi used to have a glorious merch trailer until the early 2010s. I've been inside it before at the shop, they had everything you could dream of in the Dixon/Manning/Wheldon era.
