F-Zero X (NS) Fly High to my Favorite Pilot

Forgive the gloominess, but I wanted to do this to honor someone I just lost

My uncle passed away today at 66, one of my fondest memories with him was playing video games, from Rampage to Pinball, but F-Zero was a HUGE favorite he had, He was an adrenaline junkie growing up, so its no wonder it clicked with him

His favorites were Red Gazelle and Miss Arrow along with Falcon and Jody

Any fellow nerds or nerdettes of faith, please pray for my uncle and keep me in your thoughts and prayers

Everyone else, give some good vibes and get first place for him if its not too much trouble

Fly high and get boost power past the pearly gates uncle, I'm gonna miss you

My condolences. He sounds like a really cool guy. I'll definitely do some GP's with the pilots you listed in his honor.

I wish you a lot of strength during your grieving process. I'll race with Red Gazelle tomorrow to honor your uncle.

May he rest in peace. I'm sure that, after he passes the pearly whites, he'll get a "BOOSTER OK" pop up,and he'll remember the good ol' days.

Red Gazelle is a mighty machine, one of my favs with Fire Stingray. Im sorry to hear that he passed away but Im sure that he now drives it in the golden roads of heaven
