Those pictures in your attachments reminds me of my brother and I...
His favorite driver is Kevin Harvick....my favorite driver is Earnhardt Jr.....
we dont necessarily feud with each other about it, rather we just joke about each others favorite drivers misfortune.
But its kind of ironic, considering I have bought the race car that he and my family have put together, and he has bought my fathers race car....
same class so if we were racing now would be racing against each other every saturday night at Shadybowl Speedway in DeGraff Ohio...He isnt racing right now because he works seven days a week, and im not racing because after buying the race car i cannot afford the money it takes to supply the race car with tires, gasoline, and the money it costs to race the car(although we get payed for the places we finish in the races each week, I would only be able to be ahead if I finish significantly well in the feature events-- and I just dont have the money to put up right now to take that chance-- although im getting closer to my Rookie season)
My brother won Rookie of the year 2 years ago when he started, and considering my drive to always "one up him", I am looking forward to the day I actually start.
Right now he is thinking about selling his race car, due in large part to him working seven days a week, so that he can buy Quarter midgets for his son....Quarter Midgets are race cars for ages about 5-10. I dont really feel bad about it because it gives me relief in knowing that if something happens and we were to tangle up and wreck each other, theyre will be no love lost....although i think once both of our experience levels were to our liking, I think I would enjoy competing against him...and also my father...he races the same class as well(But hes a known veteran around southwestern Ohio so competing against him is like Earnhardt Jr. competing against Sr.....experience level is completely one sided.)
My car is the second one...the first car is my fathers old car that he has sold to my brother....the picture is one of my father winning with what is now my brothers car.
My oldest brother of the two is our crew chief and to be honest we wouldnt be where we are today without him....building the fastest cars anywhere in the world in reference to each specific track the cars are actually made for.
