Racing

I may not watch NASCAR anymore, but that doesn’t mean my interest in racing stopped.

I’m gonna run a few 1979 Winston Cup races for the next week or so.

Next up is the Sun-Drop Music City USA 420 from Nashville Speedway.

Through 10 races, I’ve only had one winner in my replay, who won the same race in real life.

Stay tuned!

Face to the Mat 2018

Damn, the last time I played this game was June of 2016.

Brandon Yee was a wrestler in the game.  He passed away less than a month later.  Out of respect, I will be retiring his wrestler.

The ‘good guy’ celebrities: John Boyega, Chris Evans, Steph Curry

The ‘bad guy’ celebrities: Donald Trump(!), Lebron James, Charles Barkley

The matches:

  • Nezz “Stalker” Constantine defeated Jason “Wendigo” Miller
  • Andy “The Jawa” Dahl defeated Brandon “Arizona” Yee
  • Kalu “Shonuff” Ekeh defeated Ken “WAAAGH!” Marquardt
  • Jason “Cranky Caucasian” Thill defeated Bruce “ManHo” Powell (this match resulted in a grudge match, noted later)
  • Timothy “Charybdis” Nowell defeated Mike “Vengeance” Fatum
  • Lando “Turbo” Gayle defeated “Supreme” Brent Knight for the CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
  • Grudge match: Jason “Cranky Caucasian” Thill defeated Timothy “Charybdis” Nowell

Coming up next is GOONGA-GALOONGA-PALOOZA I!

With your new host, Dirk Manning!

Stay tuned!

GOONGA-GALOONGA-PALOOZA

The next chapter in the ongoing saga of the Facebook Friends Wrestling League (FFWL) will be written tonight!

The matchup:

LANDO “TURBO” GAYLE

VS

“SUPREME” BRENT KNIGHT

When we last saw these two, Turbo had defeated Supreme to become the FFWL Champion.

Can Turbo hold on to the title?

Can Supreme reclaim that which was his?

Stay tuned!

Oh, and maybe a couple of other matches will be played as well.

1984

I’m gonna try my best to finish this Gooden rookie season replay this weekend.

Truth be told, while I enjoy playing these games in general, I miss playing Ball Park Baseball.  And I vowed to not to bounce around game systems unless I finish these smaller projects (less than 40 games).

So after I finish this one, it’s back to 1917 and 1967 for a while, and then I continue the John D’Acquisto rookie season replay.

Stay tuned!

Silverado Foursome

I played a round of golf last night!

The venue:

The players:

Calvin Peete

Mike Souchak

Jay Herbert

Nick Price

The results:

It was close at the halfway point, but then Price birdied on 4 of the last 6 holes and ran away with the win.

And like some of my other table top games (sports and war), I learned something that I didn’t know, this time it was about the man named Calvin Peete, the most successful African-American golfer prior to Tiger Woods.
