Guys, I am going to need all the luck I can get. My brother, with my o2 boost, can now do the 1/8 mile in under 20 seconds. I still whoop him but it means he can now do all 4 events. I can only do 3. Looks like I take 2nd place to my brother....... again Oh, And I just love his famous words.........
"I am just going down to have fun. I don't care if I win."
If he didn't care, he wouldn't of worked so hard on getting his cart to qualify for the 1/8 mile in under 20 seconds. He and I both know that there is not going to be hardly any cart there in the modified stock class that can break the 20 second requirement. It just erks me. Been 2nd to him all my life and can never out do him. Tired of it. At least I know I can beat him in every event but the mud pit. But with BU using a points system for each cart, I will score 00 for the mud pit run. So even if I won everything else, all he needs to do is place in all 4 events and win over all. He gets the trophy and I get the "better luck next time" speech. All I want is one trophy just for all the hard work I did and the scraping and digging and bargining for everything I got into this cart. But Noooooooo. I can't catch a break. He already has 5 trophies. 2 from the first and 3 from the last. I have nothing.
No, its not jealousy. Its been a battle for 40 years of me always coming in 2nd to him. I finally have something to out do him and he sneaks behind my back and pulls this crap. Brotherly love? Bullcrap! He does it on purpose then rubs it in. Been that way all through our lives. Even as kids. I guess its that way with all brothers. I think next year, we will be driving separately. When I first got the FE350, rebuilt it and blew him away, he did not call me for months during the winter. Ok..... I feel better now that I got that off my chest. Sorry for whining and complaining. I just got so mad that he waits till the last minute to do this. If I had more time, I was going to borrow someone's lifted cart and put my engine and set up in it to be able to compete in all 4 events.
Please don't feel sorry for me or any of that crap. I just needed to vent. I feel much better now. Thinking about it........ He knows in his heart that I still have the faster, quicker, more powerful cart. So I guess I got that. Words only though. No proof like a trophy.
Good luck at the Bonanza...
