People like Tim never last. His kind of behavior is a sign of insecurity. People like Tim never have known consequences for failure. There always seemed to be a safety net to catch him and propel him into the next opportunity. People like that have a fear of success. They will get right up next to it, flirt with it, prove that they are talented, makes waves briefly...and then fade away. They might do this many, many times over. I used to be in a band with a guitar player/song writer. It was his band. He formed it, wrote most of the songs, produced the recordings, decided artistic direction, the stage look...the whole nine yards. He was brilliant, and massively talented. We built a solid following across the midwest. We played numerous showcases for major record labels. We had a publishing and production deal with a fairly big time manager. Every time we got close to signing the dotted line, he would scrap the project, change the sound of the band a little bit...put off the record companies, spend forever recording new material....and jump through all the same hoops again. He would still get us right up to the point of getting a big record deal...again...and sabotage the whole thing again. We could have been very successful, and he would have been very famous...but he would screw it up, right at the 11th hour, every single time.
@ClumsyCardboard3 ай бұрын
Whilst I'm sorry to hear you got messed around by him like that, I don't believe this is a apt summary in my opinion. How do you define success? Because that's not how he approached it. He put his ALL into everything, and didn't back down.. In fact, it was to the point that folks like Tim brewer (Just some guy, you know, only won championships with Cale Yarborough and Darrel Waltrip.. No big deal, nobody special obviously..) was annoyed with him NOT backing down enough. He gave it his all, not out of a need to create a justification to walk away from a purposefully wrecked car, but because he was an immense talented man who sometimes just didn't know the limits of a car. That's all. He was the winningest driver of 1986 for christs sake. That's from not just sheer tenacity, but good preparation too. And great feel. But above all? He wanted to prove one thing. As he says it best, "I wanted to prove to everyone that I was put on this earth to have fun.. I want to succeed at the fun department." And he did. Very much did. And his definition of fun is more than just being great in a stock car, but also just taking part in the periphery of racing in general. Including exhibition races for local short tracks. (Plenty of footage out there for stuff like that, do encourage you peep it out).

@@ClumsyCardboard .... Never said he didn't have success. My point was that guys like him can rise to great peaks, but they never sustain. Some of his earlier successes and opportunities, came from family wealth. Had it been strictly up to him, he wouldn't have had the same opportunities. He was propelled a certain distance, through the family bank account. That doesn't diminish his obvious talent, its just a fact.
@ClumsyCardboard3 ай бұрын
@@scottrobinson9752 Ok? So his parents had money. Yes, But that was used to fund his early developing talents. Daddy's credit card didn't buy him a ride at Hendrick. Hell, I'm certain it didn't get him a spot at D.K Ulrich's operation, and he could've used the cash no doubt. And J.D Stacy already had his ill gotten gains funding his operation, so Tim's dad's money would've been no good to him. And even then, He had the chops to make it on merit and merit alone. If he had to work for the dough, he would've done so to pay up for that Sprint car ride. And about sustaining.. Did you forget the fact Tim died? 1987 would've been a real contention, if not championship victory outright. If not then, '88. Buddy holly didn't set the world on fire in the 1960s because he died in a plane crash in '59. Otherwise he would've no doubt succeeded and sustained. Sterling marlin didn't sustain after his 2002 cup title bout because of personal ailments. Otherwise that would've been his trophy. Again, it's about perspective.

If I did only use Tim’s race cars and footage for every single segment, it would only be a handful of clips that would be repeated. To prevent that, and to add context of both his competition and the era he competed in, occasionally you would see other people’s races, cars, and individuals. It wasn’t perfect, especially given this was my second ever video project, but nonetheless something that thankfully hasn’t been as much of an issue going forward. Hopefully that makes sense.
