COMING SOON(ISH): CRUEL SUMMER
Eddie Munson x Reader | Enemies to Lovers | High School AU
“I’d give you a ride, Dots, but as you can see,” Eddie gestured to the empty seat next to him, “I can’t.” “Fuck you,” you hissed, whirling around and stomping off before reaching a hand up to swipe angrily at the tears pooling in the corners of your eyes.
Something new for me. No promises on when it will be out because if the Inuyasha fandom knows anything about me, it's that I'm a slow writer (uh...life, job(s), other responsibilities). But I've promised myself I won't post the first chapter until I have at least one more written so it's not too long in between updates.
Will go on AO3 first and cross-post to Tumblr about a week after, so people who will want to read first best to follow me there.
And no, it's not the Taylor Swift song.

1973 Chevrolet Chevelle - 10/30/22
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two-time Iowa Sportsman Series Champion and four-time Knoxville Extreme Enduro race winner Darin Van Dee (my father) cruised to three of those four Knoxville wins in this exact car - a frame-damaged 1973 Chevy Chevelle that he turned into a racecar by hand around 07' or 08'. I watched my father drive this car a lot as a kid - even "spotting" for him for his 2018 win. The memories of this car and it's sounds and smells are pungent in my mind - and not just because it's drivetrain was transplanted into my 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix street car.

Context: In my first story Lightning rediscovered his love to draw. After returning from the Florida race he drew this picture at home. So it’s not mine. It’s his actually. ;) Should’ve put his signature under it. I actually have one version with that.

Learn something everyday
Welp, I spent the last 50 years thinking that "stock cars" were fancy hot-rods because any time I ever heard someone SAY stock car it was in the context of hotrodding, car shows, etc. Then, last night my son mentioned something about his own, slightly modified car "when it was stock" and I saw a post on here about the roots of Nascar/hotrodding as 'modifying stock cars' and. It turns out. That 'stock cars' are the normal ones. Which, perhaps, everyone knew but me.
Just a funny thing to realize after thinking of the term wrong for decades and not being a very car-oriented person to begin with.
but wait:

So, the term seems to be used somewhat flexibly, and usually in the context of a car that has been souped up. So I wasn't totally wrong, just didn't know the origin.

Stock Car Racing: Early NASCAR
To make my Doc Hudson fanfic as authentic as possible, I've been binging old stock car races, and...damn...are they intense. Especially this one at Langhorne Speedway in '51. The race ended, not because the leader crossed the finish line, but because there was a firey 10+ car pileup that completely blocked the track.
youtube
This is another awesome race (Daytona, '52). The track here is unique because it's half asphalt and half beach. And look at the nightmarish ruts that form on the south turn as the race progresses...
youtube
Such amazing history...wish I could've been there.
I imagine the vehicles from the WOC being a bit more resilient than the ones depicted here...but races would have been punishing on their bodies. The dust alone would have been awful to deal with, especially if it had been treated with oil, like they did in Langhorne. Drivers slowly losing visibility through their windscreens as the race progresses...and or overheating because they're breathing in too much sediment.
Maybe that's why they eventually transitioned to asphalt...because drivers were developing breathing problems from years of racing on loose dirt.
