I'll never forget when it hit me the hardest. My biggest hero is my Big Brother. He is a huge fan of motorsports and I owe all my respect for cars and everything Automotive to him. On the day that Earnhardt died I was watching the race at my house. After the race I tried to call him to see if he knew what had happened since they cut away from the coverage so fast. I could not get him on the telephone. I rushed over to his house. He was outside working on his 70' Camaro. All he said to me was "....he's dead". He was pretty choked up. It hit me like a ton of bricks.....and yes I still get choked up thinking about this.
