TC in the 80s and 90s wearing graphic tees is my new favourite genre of pictures. Found one with a rainbow on his shirt that says camp daddy. I have no context yet whatsoever but I love it.

we need to go back

#EDIT: FOUND IT #context: he was handpicked by paul newman to costar in THE COLOR OF MONEY and they became good friends on set #and newman had tom race for his nascar team for a few years in the late 80s #which is how tom learned to stunt drive and later developed DAYS OF THUNDER

All of my TBB Season 2 knowledge has been handed down to me second-hand by Tumblr posts alone, and I get consistent whiplash from getting fed info like "Tech joining Space NASCAR", "Echo and Hunter working for Space UberEats" and "Sonic the Hedgehog being a victim of a hit and run while talking smack".

#Eps talks about: #star wars #the clone wars #the bad batch #context what context? #I have no idea what is going on nor am I super fussed #but I guess space nascar and ubereats are a thing

i’m so sorry to be incredibly Texan for a second but my favorite nascar driver just won his second championship!!!!!!!!!!!!! me and my mom screamed i am shaking with excitement i am so happy !!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#for context. i’ve been a nascar fan since i was 7 bc my dad was into it #and i’ve been a fan of joey for over 12 years (and i’ve met him!!!!! he’s super nice!!!!!!!!) #my parents’ favorite drivers have both retired so they root for joey now which is why my mom was screaming too #anyway we used to drive 5 hours every year to go to the texas race #when we moved here a few years ago we ended up about ten minutes from the track so it’s even easier to go #anyway anyway i’m excited-rambling the point is i’m embarrassed about it but nascar is a big part of my life #and this is exciting as fuck #he’s only the 17th driver to have multiple championships!!!!!!!!

He may be Lawless Alan, but he sure isn't Lossless Alan! Ha!

still laughing about this conversation i had with my grandma over dinner last night

i don't remember how we got on the topic but i'd been talking about how autism has always existed even before we had a word for it, yknow one of my usual soapboxes and stuff

and we were at a restaurant. on one of the tvs was a nascar race. and my grandma asks, do you remember when we went to the indy 500?

i'm just. yeah. I remember that it was LOUD.

in fact, that is the only thing I really remember at this point. to be fair, I was like... four? ish?

but yeah.

and my grandma's like yeah we knew you were Not Normal after that

now, I didn't get specifics, but considering that all I remember was how loud it was, it's pretty obvious I got hella overstimulated and probably went into shutdown

and here i am now, just shy of twenty fucking nine, and i'm sitting here like. and still none of you thought that maybe that was worth investigating further? 😂

no shade on them, lbr if I had an autism dx on paper my life would have turned out very different and probably not in a good way, but it is funny. even moreso now as I realize just how many of my cousins are also neurodivergent LOL

#jay speaks #i'm sure this isn't remotely interesting to anyone but me #but i just thought it was funny #relevant context: when i was small my grandparents lived in indiana #just outside indianapolis #and my grandpa was the kind of person who'd put nascar on the tv and take a nap #so... yeah. lol #these days my grandma lives like three miles from my parents' house #it's very nice it means I see her a lot more now than I ever did growing up #with the exception of that time I spent a week at her house as a teenager #ye olde PLEASE give me a break from my younger siblings #it was nice being able to watch tv without trying and failing to tune them out

Unusual Model Train Sets

A long time ago in 2020, I did a thread on Twitter of unusual model train sets. Mainly to showcase some that don't seem real, but are/were. Here's a selection of such trains.

I pity the fool who doesn't have this set.

It's more than meats the eye.

Our secret weapon in defeating Cobra.

I don't see a correlation between Rambo and trains to warrant this set.

Of course. When I think of a hit comedy show about medical personnel during the Korean War, I think a train set would make sense given the context. (Friend of mine said the following:

Though my point still stands just from the episodes I've seen.)

This has the best '80s aesthetic I've seen for a train set.

As someone who launched Hot Wheel cars in front or over trains, I legit think this concept is fun.

Speaking of Hot Wheels...

As someone who still has this set, I can tell you that while it's fun, it's not compatible with HO tracks. A real bummer if you ask me.

I have a soft spot for train sets based on tractor brands (I have relatives who live in Eastern Washington who collect old tractors). The only unusual thing I could find is when they are a passenger set.

Which makes no sense considering what the IP is.

I don't see the connection between auto parts and trains, but the Photoshopped image on the box is cool.

Again, don't see much of a connection, in this case of NASCAR sets. However, if your train is taking a left hand turn every time it goes around the track then it makes sense (I guess). And that is the list of unusual train sets I could find for this post. This is not meant to say they're dumb. I actually find sets like these quite entertaining and fascinating, particularly the TYCO sets of Rambo, GI Joe, A-Team, and Transformers just for how niché they were. And these came out around the time Shining Time Station premiered.

If you know any others, please reblog with the train set that you find unusual or barely has any connection to trains.

Notes on Liberty Media buying MotoGP (From Someone who’s had to go through this before)

Okay, this is going to come off as hypocritical seeing as I am 1.) American, and 2.) I was an F1 fan before I was a MotoGP fan, but please hear me out on this.

For context, I come from a family of F1 fans. My uncle has been watching F1 for nearly 40 years and F1 and NASCAR were the two racing series I grew up with. I remember what F1 was like before liberty media bought it, and call it rose colored glasses or nostalgia, but it was far better than it is right now.

What liberty media brought to F1 was a culture of celebrity worship, Americinization, little understanding of the sport and how it functions and it’s history, and an onslaught of people who have little care for the sport and only care about saying they watch it because watching the “pinnacle of Motorsport” makes them look cool.

I only remember hearing that F1 was the “pinnacle of motorsport” once or twice before liberty media took over, now it’s all I hear. People who were fans before liberty media took over, like my uncle, have had their opinions pushed to the side and treated like they don’t matter in favor of newer fans who don’t know the history of the sport.

Why am I saying all this? Because I’m scared this is going to happen to MotoGP too.

While I have not been a MotoGP fan for the same amount of time as I’ve been an F1 fan, I fucking adore this sport. At this point I can honestly say that I love MotoGP more than I love F1, and liberty media will probably take a lot of what makes MotoGP, well, MotoGP, away, just like they did with F1. I’m terrified that MotoGP will fall victim to the celebrity culture, Americinization, etc., that now permeate F1.

I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending. I’ve only been a MotoGP fan for two seasons but this sport is near and dear to my heart, and I don’t want to see another sport I love be reduced to a capitalist ploy.

Did Dale Earnheart pass away and Dale Earnheart Jr take up racing in his father's memory like Nascar? Also am I the only one who'd love to see that as a fan fic?

ive said something about this on my main account before and i was hoping i’d never see a day where someone would bring this up — but Absolutely Not.

it’s insensitive to dale jr AND dale sr to make his death something “fictionized”. i dont think its appropriate in any context to do this, and writing it as a fanfic would actually be sickening. i have very strong opinions about this, and for that im sorry, but out of every real life reference to the sport i think that yes, sure you can maybe acknowledge it as something that happened as long as you understand the horrible implications that come with it, but WRITING IT as a FANFICTION is crossing an insane line.

i think of jrs cameo in *cars 1* as just a silly cameo, like he does in most nascar movies that came out during his racing career (see: talladega nights), i dont take him as a canon character that needs to be acknowledged or written about, because hes just sort of there like every other background character — you dont catch people writing about them too often. compared to other drivers characters, like darrell and bob, or chase, ryan, bubba, and danny, where they actually hold a significance to the story, but don’t necessarily reflect their real life racing careers.

essentially, to sum it up, no. absolutely NOT. dragging dale srs DEATH into a fictional movie is insane. using his death as an angst point for a fanfiction is fucking crazy.
