RetroSports – The Return of Dale Earnhardt (Introduction)

February 18, 2001 – The 2001 Daytona 500 is still the darkest day in NASCAR’s history. One the last lap of the biggest race of the year, NASCAR’s greatest driver, Dale Earnhardt, spun out and crashed into the wall. Earnhardt would not survive his injuries. Two cars that he owned as part of Dale Earnhardt Inc. would finish 1-2 in the same race (with son Dale Jr. finishing 2nd). Earnhardt also proved to be a championship contender the year prior and was a title favorite in 2001.

As a tribute, we’re going to change the story. We’ll change it by saying that Earnhardt, while injured, survived his wreck in the Daytona 500. And while he sat out the 2001 season, he announced a return for 2002. The quest for Championship #8 is alive. Let’s see if we can get it done!

On most Sundays the plan is to race NASCAR Thunder 2003 with 100% race lengths. We’ll be on custom difficulty with legend mode speed. Going to use a custom damage system (I’m just not going to survive 100% races otherwise) where if we would have DNFed we’ll take a green flag pit pass through depending on how many times it’s happened.  We’ll also being using a custom season schedule, adding night racing (which is awesome) and more road courses (six total, up from the standard two).

All races will be streamed on RDTUniverse on Twitch.tv

First race, the 2002 Daytona 500, will be at 11:00 AM on Sunday, May 31st!

RDTUniverse JINJO CONTEST

JINJO CONTEST

In Banjo-Tooie, there are nine Jinjo familes that need to be rescued (Press F for the Grey Jinjos). Each Jinjo family is of a different size, and prizes differ based on that size. The catch? Jinjos appear randomly in Banjo-Tooie. Here are the rules:

  • To win the main prize, your Jinjo family has to be the last one I find all completed members for, regardless if families have no users who chose them. (E.g., only the green and black jinjo families remain, but you have the green one and no one has the black one. To win the main prize green still has to be the last family standing).
  • There may be a secondary prize. If no one has the final Jinjo family standing, the secondary prize will be given to the person or people who have the last family standing that users had (E.g., only the green and black jinjo families remain, but you have the green one and no one has the black one. You win the secondary prize at a minimum). You do not win the secondary and main prizes if that scenario comes up.
  • Requirements: You must follow rdtuniverse on Twitch and be a part of the RDTUniverse Discord. Also, do not get yourself banned.
  • How To Play: In the contests textchannel of the RDTUniverse Discord, you must show you follow the Twitch Channel by using the !followage command (or somehow prove it to me). Name your Twitch channel, then pick your family you want to represent!
  • Restrictions: Each Jinjo Family is allowed to have as many users pick them as they have members. (So, only one user may pick the 1 member White Jinjo family). First come, first serve. You may change what family you represent up until the deadline.
