Have you heard of this? Does this exist?

I'm not a huge NASCAR fan but I've been to a race in person and I watch some of the races with my dad and sister from time to time. I bring this up because I've been watching the Daytona race today and it made me think of one of my favorite AU ideas - car racing! There's a SGA NASCAR AU that I still think of and it makes me smile even after reading it over a year ago.

Does anyone know of an Avengers racing AU? I'll take any pairing. I just want some racing drama with my favorite group of people!

Too many AU plot bunnies... too many. *moans*

I tell you what, if you want, I will co-write it with you? I'm up for gen/ any pairing as well.

Do you know much about racing because I don't other than what I can pester out of my sister or SaraJo. As sports go, I'm much more knowledgeable about baseball.

I don't know much actually, I've seen a documentary and read a few articles. (I know nothing about baseball, other than the fact I should hate the Yankees)

You should hate the Yankees. Good girl! Also the Braves. I, myself, am strictly West Coast. The Arizona Diamondbacks are my boys and have been since before there was even a team there.

Any other sport, I chose my team based on their color and mascot or who I know. For instance, Chelsea will always be my FA cup team and this based on them being BLUE (although it was mostly just me finding a "we don't like Man U" team so I had someone against a co-worker once) and Brasil is my International Football team because of my brother-in-law.

Let me run this idea by SaraJo and see if she can't give me a good starting point. I'll email you. *grins*

Sounds good. I can't hate the braves, that's my first college roommate's team.

Well... I suppose I can make one exception for you. One, mind you! Don't try to sneak anymore of your Brave-liking friends in here!

I'll do my best to constrain my Brave love to the movie, and not the sports team. :P

I STILL haven't seen that movie. I really need to.

Do you have the link for the SGA one?

As a matter of fact, I do because I went looking for it just to see if it was still around.

Fireball (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1567) by celli. It's John/Rodney but I love the whole team dynamic!

Ppssspphh. The guy gets booed during driver introductions. He's the perfect Loki!

Hey now, that's 2010 & 2012 World Champions to you ;)

But some people boo him just because it's a thing to boo him. He is a perfect Loki, though.

I'm so ashamed that I don't have a gif in response. *hangs head* I'm a bad "generation-less" fan. :D

A thousand times YES! I stopped eating M&Ms when the sponsorship went from Elliott Sadler to Kyle Busch. Cannot STAND that boy!

There's one Tony and Loki (and Kimi Raikkonen, sorta) series called A Formula For Friendship (http://archiveofourown.org/series/31289) in which Loki becomes addicted to Formula One, which is a whole lot of fun.

I see Clint as the NASCAR man, myself.

Thank you! That's one more than I thought it would be!
