14 years like brothers. Rarely did we even talk racing other than when I would congratulate him and remind him he earned it. But not until I was thrown out of Goshen for complaining about ice and I was LOUD about it did he start to poke at me. I didn't realize who he was connected with and they pressed him. Not my problem, and as I've said many times I do get it. They could have made life a mess for him and that would have cost him a TON of money. People say I talk about him? You reap what you sow, and I've been pretty good not saying too much. Another comment that stands out was his wife telling me at New Street Lounge after I had a win first start back training after over a decade that "stop it's just one win Petrelli". Jason was very happy for me though. As I always was for him. And, here we are now. 
All the people that ultimately have been lifelong friends, business, whatever...starte
d with wars, not handshakes.
No different than countries of today, once enemies, now allies.
Sure some idiots come along and meddle, but they come and go.
The test of the strongest in the motherfucking jungle.
The weak die, the strong survivors go their own way and sometimes unite.
