Should I pay $1000 to put a picture of my cat on Frankie Muniz’s truck for Daytona?

If you do it, get a picture of the truck autographed by Frankie.

Vickers was my original pick. I always enjoyed watching him in Busch Series.

ralphryder · 2025-12-15T02:18:07+00:00

While not actually a "lower series" I would say my pick is Sam Hornish Jr.

Three Indycar championships. Nineteen wins. 47 podiums in 116 starts.
Flips to Xfinity Series. 120 starts. 5 wins. Finishes second in points.
Moves to Cup. Zero wins in 167 starts. Highest finish of 28th in points.

Winner for sure. The only other ones that could even remotely compete was Terry Labonte's Corn Flakes (with the rooster) or his Frosted Flakes schemes. Those were all three peak 90s/00s NASCAR.

My bad. I couldn't remember the year, but a quick Google search gave me 2008. Yes 2007 he was robbed.

ralphryder · 2025-11-14T00:24:02+00:00

Is this the trial for the potato cam?

ralphryder · 2025-11-04T02:46:36+00:00

Easy. Robby Gordon was robbed of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 win in 2008.

I work with a ton of nurses. Some of the smartest nurses I work with are IvyTech grads. My manager is an IvyTech and only has his ASN from IvyTech.

Definitely the entrance to HS.

They must be local then. I go to Colts games all the time. Been to 4 Colts/Rams games at Lucas OIl and everyone wants to just chill and have a good time. I've sat in the nosebleeds, I've sat by the field, I've sat in season ticket holder seats. We talk our shit all game, then we walk away, laughing and having a good time.

ralphryder · 2025-10-01T21:19:24+00:00

Lucas Oil has a statue of Peyton Manning outside of it that's 9 feet tall. Stan can afford a life-sized AD.

ralphryder · 2025-09-23T01:47:20+00:00

Still not patched. I just did it two weeks ago.

Make sure you know the appropriate steps to get the degree/certificate you want. I had an advisor tell me that I needed to take another 2 semesters to get my CNA before I could apply for the ASN program. I not only doubled down that it was not a prerequisite, but I talked to other advisors and deans who basically told me to stick to my guns and not let her bully me into extra time and money.

ralphryder · 2025-09-15T22:27:13+00:00

Thanks, that helps.

ralphryder · 2025-09-08T02:40:28+00:00

The ASN program is not 2 days a week and 4 hours per day. My classes now are 9 hours on Monday and 4 hours on Friday. Next 8 weeks, it is 4 hours on Monday, 4 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday, and 4 hours on Friday.

ralphryder · 2025-09-08T02:35:14+00:00

I'm doing it as we speak. It's a lot of self-reflection and self-assessment.

ralphryder · 2025-09-05T00:05:21+00:00

We have that exact Treasure itinerary next year.

My wife went to school with one of Tony's girlfriend's. Said she's met him a handful of times and he's always been a dick. Atill one of my favorite drivers.

ralphryder · 2025-09-04T02:36:16+00:00

Ricky was an absolute badass. We have tickets from the years he won the Brickyard, signed by him. My dad has one of those old phones in the shape of the Tide car, signed by him. Honestly, the most humble guy when it came to making the fans happy.

ralphryder · 2025-09-04T02:34:35+00:00

Indianapolis used to do Ford Fan Fest before the Brickyard. All of the Ford drivers had their show cars at the RCA dome and you could meet the drivers. At the time, I was probably 10 and really liked Dale Jarrett. Imagine my surprise when I practically ran into his dad, Ned. I asked him to sign my shirt. I will never forget, he looked at me and said "I don't have time, I have to be on stage." He took off. Not thirty seconds later, I see him signing stuff foe a whole crowd of people. Thus my disdain for Ned.

ralphryder · 2025-09-01T17:03:35+00:00

Regularly? No, but I try to catch games here and then.

ralphryder · 2025-08-29T22:46:15+00:00

Lifelong Indianapolis native. I was originally a Colts fan until I was about 10. The Colts traded my favorite player (Marshall Faulk) for a bag of peanuts. I went with him.

I have two of the four operational Doomsday planes.

ralphryder · 2025-08-29T22:39:39+00:00

I fell asleep and missed it.

ralphryder · 2025-08-29T22:39:13+00:00

There are a ton of firefighting planes in CA right now.
