Cause I Serenade My Song: A Collaborative Timeline

And Another One to this Timeline

April 15, 2013: The 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings as a little over two hours after the winners had completed the race, two explosions occurred near the finish line only 3 people were killed and more than 144 were injured, The race was halted after the explosions; runners east of Massachusetts Avenue were diverted into Boston Common, while those west of it were diverted to Kenmore Square however Lelisa Desisa won in the Men's Devision while Rita Jeptoo won in the Woman's Division.

And Now I Got Some More Ideas to add in This Collaborative Timeline for anyone who wanted to post for the first time on this thread or something like that.

- What if Janet Guthrie decided to Not to Race Automobiles in order to become first female astronaut in space by NASA?

- Could Willy T. Ribbs might get a chance to make a Successful Career in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series in 1977? (The Reason: In This Timeline NASCAR's Popularity might be growing in the West Coast of the United States (mostly in California) in Order to become a National Sport in 1969.)

- Can We See More of NASCAR in this timeline with Winston Cup Races from Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca?

- And How Would The IndyCar Series Shape Up In This Timeline? (Notable Drivers Currently Racing include: J.R. Hildebrand, Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon, Al Unser Jr. and Sam Hornish Jr.)

So I Can't Wait For It!

Another person who was interested in the space program as a child was Hillary Rodham (a.k.a. OTL's Hillary Clinton). What if Janet Guthrie and Hillary Rodham became the first female astronauts for NASA?

Great Idea I Hope someone else besides these two may help, can anyone post in which Janet Guthrie and Hillary Rodham decided to go to NASA, so someone else can do it besides Mr_ Bondoc?
 
Well, I Think We Can Still Need More Contributions by More Users to this Collaborative Timeline because we are going In-Depth to see how it would look like in this timeline by adding Commentary and more, But Let Me Add More to this timeline with Drivers from Britain raced in NASCAR along with More NASCAR because these new additions will be all-NASCAR to This Timeline.

February 20, 1972: The 1972 Daytona 500 took place at Daytona International Speedway at Daytona Beach, FL as Jackie Oliver took his #33 Curly Wurly America Ford to victory lane as he became the First British Driver to Win the Daytona 500

February 17, 1980: The 1980 Daytona 500 took place at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL as Buddy Baker from Charlotte, NC won that event driving the #28 NAPA Auto Parts/Regal Ride Shocks Oldsmobile

January 16, 2007: Former NASCAR Driver Benny Parsons passed away following complications resulting from lung cancer.

January 22, 2007: ESPN2 aired a Special Week of Ride Awake honoring the Passing of Benny Parsons with Vocal Drill Music being to set to in-car cameras of the late Benny Parsons who passed away 6 days ago in addition to other NASCAR In-Car Stuff.

And Keep In Mind to this Canon in This Timeline: Richard Petty won 7 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championships in 1967, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1979 (All the Same as OTL) as for Dale Earnhardt he won 5 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championships in 1980, 1987, 1990, 1994 and 2001 we better leave it the way it is.
 
Two PODs that might allow you to have some strange things happen and enjoy the NASCAR and pop culture venue is the idea of:

* George Lucas becomes a NASCAR racer rather than going into film, achieving fame in c. 1978.

* Tony Blair becomes the leader of a rock band called the Ugly Rumours in 1972, rather than going into Labor Party politics and eventually Prime Minister...

* In 1982-1986, there were efforts to get NFL legend Joe Montana, San Francisco 49ers, to lead a players' union. What if he accepted the offer, citing the opposition to the many expansion teams....

Great Idea, However This Timeline Challenge Could be Seeing NASCAR's National Popularity after hitting big in the West Coast, So I'll Open it for you when George Lucas races in NASCAR so here's the first one.

January 22, 1978: George Lucas made his NASCAR Winston Cup Debut at Riverside International Raceway for the Running of the Winston Western 500 driving the #2 Chevrolet for Rod Osterlund he finished 5th as the 1st National City Travelers Checks Cars cashed in by finishing in the Top 2 for Cale Yarborough driving the #11 Oldsmobile winning the Race, The #72 of Benny Parsons finished 2nd.

So Mr_ Bondoc I Need Your Research to See How Would George Lucas continued to Race in the NASCAR Circuit in which Stock Cars Popularity took place by gaining NASCAR to add more West Coast Races in the Winston Cup Series ITTL, So We Can See the Career of George Lucas racing Into NASCAR.

As for the Other 2, Here's Your PoD's including the first one you need to fill

(insert date here), 1973: The Ugly Rumours released their first album titled (insert album title) with songs include (insert a list of songs).

June 19, 1983: It was announced by Current NFL Premier League QB Joe Montana from the San Francisco 49ers to start a new players union for the UNAPFC called the NAFPA (North American Football Players Association) as Gene Upshaw became the Executive Director of the Union as Louisville Thoroughbred C Jeff Van Note became the First President of the Union.

Also I've Added Another PoD Idea

- What if Star Wars would be like without George Lucas despite he is racing in the NASCAR Circuit ITTL?
 
October 5th, 1973: The Ugly Rumours released their first album titled "Hear the Ugly Rumours" with songs include "Sky on Fire", "Fresh N' Sweet" and "Ice Cream Habit".

- What if Star Wars would be like without George Lucas despite he is racing in the NASCAR Circuit ITTL?

I have someone in mind, L. Ron Hubbard with Revolt in the Stars....
 
I have someone in mind, L. Ron Hubbard with Revolt in the Stars....

Great Idea, However George Lucas is Doing Well in the NASCAR Circuit, Because I Did the First One in Which George Lucas made his NASCAR Debut back in 1978 for the Winston Western 500 at Riverside International Raceway, But I Hope you Can Post More of George Lucas racing in the NASCAR Winston Cup Circuit ITTL.
 
Some of the PODs for the Revolt in the Stars films by "acclaimed author" L. Ron Hubbard:

October 24th, 1984: Executive producer Gerry Armstrong sues Director L. Ron Hubbard, accusing him of screenplay theft, sparking international attention,...

January 24th, 1986: L. Ron Hubbard dies at his home in Beverly Hills, California, amidst rumors of several unproduced scripts for sequels to his series of Revolt in the Stars films,...

Well So Far So Good, But I Hope We Can See Someone Else Replacing L. Ron Hubbard to make more Revolt In The Stars Films (OTL Star Wars)

Sadaharu Oh had the all time HR Record with 868, There's Only One Way that Barry Bonds can surpass Oh this time as a Giant he only needs 8 To Become the All-Time HR King in Baseball
