one of my favorite pieces of indycar lore is beadgate, also referred to as tubgate, and it is TRULY not talked about enough. in case any of you don’t know, here’s a deep dive into the lore.

to really get the full effect you have to rewind to may of 2021. for anyone who doesn’t know all of the drivers basically live in a lot together in motorhomes for the month of may. rossi returns to his bus one day to see that his golf cart had been put up on blocks, had the wheels taken off, and the wheels were now on top of his motorhome; see below:

so alex, because he’s the most predictable human alive, is furious. he’s determined to find out who did this and get revenge on them. eventually he breaks down sweet baby colton, who originally helped conor with the golf cart on blocks, and colton tells him it was conor.

alex had already narrowed it down to conor, but colton confirmed it. alex even overhears a call between conor and colton where conor is panicking thinking alex is onto them. then alex starts a deliberate plan to get him back and make his life hell. despite being very adamant that he had nothing to do with the golf cart conor is very careful because he knows revenge is coming.

throughout the next week and a half-ish alex tries everything to get conor back. conor is being very careful to lock his bus and car whenever he’s away, and he’s also stopped using his golf cart completely and hidden it somewhere at the speedway. alex is so dedicated to doing this that he finds out who conor was going on a date with that night (because conor was a bit of a whore before his girlfriend), dms the girl on instagram, and gets her in on this prank.

he basically asked her to keep an eye out for his motorhome keys in the car or on him, she says she doesn’t see him, but tells him where they went for dinner. rossi goes to this restaurant, convinces the valet to give him the keys to conor’s car and looks for the keys to his bus, they aren’t there. then, not willing to give up, he goes to conor’s house and breaks in, still can’t find the keys.

finally, he heads back to the speedway and decides he’ll fuck with his golf cart instead, but like i said, conor’s golf cart is MIA. rossi starts a search party for this golf cart, he has everyone he knows, including doug boles (president of ims and conor’s step dad), looking for this golf cart and they can not find it. he calls it off for 2021, but promises that he’s not done yet, and now has a whole year to plan his next prank.

a whole year goes by, it’s may 2022, and because conor is who he is he decides an inflatable hot tub is an absolute need for his motorhome.

he is so proud of himself for this thing and is showing it off to everyone, and the absolutely diabolical alex rossi sits back and laughs maniacally as everything falls into place.

alex does extensive research (as he does on most things) and finds out exactly how many orbeez it would take to fill the hot tub, and on tuesday morning of practice week he sneaks over to conor’s hot tub, and 4 hours later conor goes to show off his hot tub to someone and finds this:

conor is furious and on the hunt for who would’ve done this, he, wrongly, assumed that it was done monday night and therefore couldn’t be alex because alex was with him. the whole week goes by, and he still doesn’t know who it is, until the night of the victory banquet when alex drops this:

anyways this is my favorite thing ever hope you all enjoy as much as i do

Dario Franchitti celebrates his victory in the 2012 Indianapolis 500. The last of Franchitti’s 3 wins in the race, he dedicated his win to the late Dan Wheldon. This would also prove to be Franchitti’s final career IndyCar victory. His teammate, Scott Dixon, finished as the runner-up in the race.

Paz once slipped DOWN the steps and dislocated his hip, he popped it back in and told nobody till it was torn out of him by Din

Cobb once fell off a building and stood up and immediately went to go get a drink

Boba once slipped right between the holes of the rancor bars and his legs looked like /-\ because of where he hit the bar (sorry bobas dick) and he laid in his bed all night in a ball trying not to cry

Luke once tried force jumping and landed in a pit of mud and laid there for an hour before getting up to move

Leia ate shit over her robes while practicing what she would say if Vader caught her and she laid on the floor until Bail came in and picked her up

Anakin does a lot of shit in his day to day that should be embarrassing but once back on Tatooine he fell out of the window of the first floor of his house and folded like a lawn chair, he cried so hard that the neighbors came out to ask if he was ok and Shmi told them to ignore him bc he did it to himself and would calm down when he was ready

Padme stabbed herself in the eye with a Bobby pin six times during one hair style before sitting there and staring at herself in the mirror for almost an hour before she went back to bed

Obi wan once slammed his face into the butt end of his light saber when he was a padawan and he still has the scar between his eyes

Jango shot himself in the foot one time on Kamino because he let Baby Boba hold the blaster and forgot it was on and Baby Boba obviously pulled the trigger not knowing what it did, Jango blamed himself fully and Baby Boba laughed at his dad so hard he threw up and then Jango had to deal with that

Jaster slammed his knee so hard into a table that he had to get down on his knees and put his head to the floor for a minute, it turns out he had managed to dislocate it somehow

Here are some individual clones because ik they all have unique experiences

Wolffe once bit the inside of his mouth so hard that Plo thought someone punched him but in reality he had just hit his head jumping off his bunk bed

Fox once went face first down a brick wall he was climbing over to catch a criminal and landed on his nose and he just rolled over and got up and didn’t mention it

Cody stabbed himself with his pencil once and still has the scar on his had that’s black from the graphite, it was an accident and he missed the table when playing five finger fillet

Crosshair has gotten a splitter on his tongue from the toothpicks

Rex once toppled over a waist hight fence because he wasn’t paying attention

Luke “there’s still good in you” Skywalker is 100% Padme “there’s good in him” Amidala’s son, and Leia “I recognised your foul stench when I was brought on board” Organa is a mirror image of Anakin “General Grievous, you’re shorter than I expected” Skywalker

In Susie Wolff's memoir she recounts how sponsors basically forced her to drive in a bright pink car that she felt utterly humiliated to drive in at first, until young girls started coming to races calling it the 'Hello Kitty car'

Hello Kitty is now partnering the finale of F1 academy.
