The Vijay Pushanda Power Hour Podcast

Episode 1: Karjala

Hello fans, it is I Vijay Pushanda, as you know I didn't make the Karjala Grand Prix . However that still doesn't prevent me from doing some fun stuff here in Finland. Allright, so tomarrow I am going to be giving away free samples of, "My mothers curry" at a wooden stand my pit crew and I built. So walking around I found four bottles of Vodka laying on the ground near the RUS Autosport hauler, so I "borrowed" them. And I am going to dump a bottle in the pan of curry. If my calculations are right, this stuff should hurt more than a "Tom Delgado Rage Punch." I will record the other drivers reactions tomarrow... wish me luck!

OOC: Please post in the thread as drivers who have eat this curry

Michael Sykes attempts to eat the curry...

"Fffaaarghhl"

....He rapidly reaches for a cold bottle of water.

"Did I just swallow a Marine Distress flare?"

*Before he left Karjala after DNPQ'ing, Tom Delgado took the curry challenge*

I survived a heart attack. This should be nothing for me.

*Delgado starts eating the curry*

God, this tastes terrible. Nothing yet though.

*Delgado eats some more*

I'm sure my fist hurts more, but this is pretty painful too.

*Delgado grabs a bottle of TirADE, and guzzles it down in one gulp before waving the white flag*

TM Lights driver, Ryan Griffin decides to not be a whimp.

"Let's see what is this?"

*Picks up curry and eats it*

"Hmm, little tanging."

Suddenly, his face turns a little red and he grab and downs the water bottle he is holding.

Before Woodard heads home after DNPQing:

He tries the Curry and pukes. He uses mouthwash to get the flavor out of his mouth.

Ben Atkins tries the curry after DNPQing:

*eats a mouthful*

"WHY DID I TRY THIS?!?!?" he says turning red

He spits out the curry, and lunges for a bottle of water, knocking it over. Panicking a little at this point, he then quickly picks up the 2nd bottle of water, and guzzles it down before giving up.

After failing to pre-qualify, Ryan Matthews walks by the stand, pauses, and says with a wry smile on his face:

"I saw what you did to the curry, Vijay. I'll pass."

He then walked back to his hauler.

Episode 2: Wales

Welcome to Wales, I am here in the paddock today, and I have noticed one thing. Tutino's is not recognized as a threat, so what I have done is bought a bunch of 42 car, and 50 car banners, and are going to hang them on other peoples haulers, wish me luck.

*Please Post if your hauler has been tagged*

Also this is a blatened ripoff of Hinctown.com in case you were wondering.

*Tom Delgado came out of his motorcoach after a nap before the first practice of the weekend, and found that someone had hung a bunch of Tutino banners around his motorcoach!*

I guess Tutino has fans in Wales, too. Good for them.

*Delgado then went to work on posting his own merchandise around his motorcoach, and began letting fans step up and buy his shirts*

Thanks for the profit, Tutino!

Lesson of the Day: Never stop looking for ways to engage in capitalism!

*Ben Atkins returns back to the track to see Tutino banners all over his motorcoach. He bursts out with laughter*

"This is hilarious! I'm going to leave them here, because if I have a bad race, I know these will cheer me up. Just as long as the fans don't think I'm a part of Tutino, I'll be good. Thanks for the laughs, Tutino!"

Ryan Matthews returned to his hauler to find his clean, but teammate Melanie Clevenot's not so much.

"Damn it," he said, "what's a guy got to do to get some recognition around here?"

He then swiped a No. 50 banner from Clevenot's hauler and duct taped it to his own.

I cannot believe I won the Round of Russia with Curry After-Effects.

They're still present as I wander around the new venue, I saw it when they finally got it "complete" but it looks better now there are trucks and stuff...

There is a crowd of people hanging around outside the Launch Energy Power Station (FLASH Racing's public hub), and Michael Sykes is standing on the top level with certain members of the press, He stands in front of a covered wall banner that isnt meant to be there.

"OK some breaking news for you chaps, I've just been in talks with the circuit owners and the good people at Launch Energy, and I am pleased to announce a late name change to the venue, I can understand that Olrhain Dewi Sant may be difficult to mention in one breath, I cannot even say it myself, but for the inaugural TM Round of Wales and for the next 5 seasons, the venue will be called...."

Michael unveils the wall banner.

"Launch Energy Motorpark..."

Ladies and Gentlemen, there will be many of these surrounding the venue and an even larger one hovering above the main entrance, drink it in, if you'll pardon the pun, Launch Energy Motorpark, sounds a lot better now doesn't it?

This isn't really a news thread, this is a funny "Hinchtownesque" thread.

*Scott Steudler is offered the curry*

I don't do spicy stuff...

*Challenge accepted*

*eats*

*runs like hell for the nearest drink*

Alright Power Hour viewers, today myself, Sulinder, and Thomas took a lap around the paddock today. These were some of the highlights.

*Cue Hungdao Tavern Music in the background*


1st Section: The Launch Energy Power Station


Vijay: I sometimes wonder how many flavors of Launch Energy there are, I mean with the amount of different colored cans I sometimes wonder what flavor are some of these colors.


Sulinder: Good point; I have always wondered what flavor are the pink cans.


Vijay: Radish?


Thomas: “Blech,” I thought Bubble Gum.


Sulinder: Both of those could be possible knowing the crazy, crap people will drink nowadays. Speaking of Crazy Crap, what is the brown can?

Vijay: I don’t even want to know.

Thomas: Chocolate?

Vijay: Licorice?

Thomas: No, Licorice I’m pretty sure is black.

Sulinder: They should have stolen the phrase “Taste the Rainbow,” before Skittles got it.



2nd Section: The Volpi Hauler


Vijay: Hey look Sulinder! Thomas is staring at Divina Henton.

Sulinder: Our nephew is growing up, Vijay.

Thomas: Shut up you two, at least I don’t think that ugly Formula B driver is hot.

Sulinder: I was drunk, I can’t control what I am saying when I am drunk. Who are you talking about anyway?

Thomas: You know, she’s fat, ugly, and gets mistaken for a bus.

Sulinder: Oh yeah, I was drunk then.

Vijay: Sulinder, you are such a great role model to Thomas aren’t you.


3rd Section: The Portable Bathrooms

Sulinder: Damn, all that Launch Energy goes right through ya; I’ll be back in a minute,

Thomas: Me too!

Vijay: I knew that avoid that crap was a good thing, hurry up or I am going back to the motorcoach without ya.

Sulinder: Whoever is in here needs to hurry up.

Vijay: Quit slamming on the door. Someone is going to come out of there and smash you in to tiny pieces, so small we can’t even sweep you up with a broom.

Thomas: I am ready now…

Sulinder: Thank you Thomas, *Runs to Thomas’s porta potty but someone beats him to it*

Sulinder: Damn it, *He returns to the one he was at*

Sulinder: Hurry up you fat cow…

Thomas: Uncle Vijay, ten bucks he gets punched out…

Vijay: You got a deal.


*Part 2 To be continued*

Please comment if your character is affected in anyway in this story, except the porta potty.

*the door swings open to the portopotty, and Tom Delgado comes out*

This stinks...the bathroom in my motorcoach is on the fritz. Now I got this moron knocking on the door not giving me any peace.

*Delgado sees the person knocking on the door, looks sort of like Sulinder Pushanda*

Vijay...this is gonna hurt you more to watch this than it hurts me to do this.

*Delgado proceeds to beat the crap out of Sulinder*

Never try to stand in the way of a man and his time on the porcelain throne!

*Delgado grabs a roll of toilet paper, throws it on Sulinder, telling him to "Wipe yourself up!". He then grabbed his newspaper and went back into the porto-potty*

OOC: f1fan12 asked me to be the guy in the porto-potty. I was happy to oblige

Sulinder: owwwww...

Vijay: Damn, I lost ten bucks!

Sulinder: Do you even care about me?

Vijay: I would, but you didn't listen.

Episode 4: Vijay's thoughts on the Texas 500.

Thank You ASCC for making me laugh. Seriously the coverage was awful, unless you want to see some ex-playboy bunny put on makeup while she races. Plus there were so many cars that looked alike, come on, some originalty please! I just wish there was more coverage on the insane pre-race antics, they would probably be more exciting than the race was.

Episode 5: The 2012 TM Master Cup Series season

It started out looking like the Hodges Walter cars would run away with it. Clearly, they have the best cars out there. But other teams are catching them, Flash Racing, Katzev and Gesslier comes to mind. However some strong teams last year, arn't very good this year, Team Saar USA, Owen DeGarmo, and Xenos Enterprises have either dropped lower on the grid, or maintained its positions. Personally, I thought Xenos would be consistant top 10 point scoring teams. One team I am interested in is Volpi, both drivers are on the hot seat, and with rumors of Chris Davenport, and Micheal Sykes going there for 2013, Henton and Carroll need to improve their finishes. FLASH Racing is another interesting one, because their lead driver is leaving. Plus, Sykes' seat isn't exactally set in stone either. Anyway, I would expect more diversity in the results as we return to America.
