- Cal went to a private school in California and when his parents died he moved in with Strip and Lynda at like 12-15
so that’s why his accent ain’t as pronounced as Strip’s but it’s still there
bro definitely got called a city slicker by Tex
- Tex loves him sm he does anything and everything for him, he’s def the cool uncle that says yes just because Strip said no
- 100000% a mamas boy and is glued to Lynda’s hip most of the time
- insanely good at math he does that thing with the mental abacus russian children learn in school
honestly he’s just good at school in general that boy can WRITE an essay
- is right handed but holds the wii remote in his left hand and nunchuck in his right WHICH IS WRONG BTW 😡😡😡
- can and will play the most depressing country music on guitar and has the most perfect country boy voice with the cracks and all (think brad paisley (my love))
- he has low self confidence because he feels the need to be just as good as Strip if not better and feels like he’ll never step outside Strip’s shadow and make a name for himself
and Tex makes jokes like “yeah you better win this season or i’ll drop you” but then he sees cal sad and he’s like “thou shalt not compare thineself to thine predecessor”
- thinks he’s sponsored by dinoco ONLY because he’s Strip’s nephew
“you just sponsored me bc i’m strip’s nephew 😔”
“i sponsored you bc you’re a great racer with potential not bc of strip 😡🥺”
- bro cried when he retired (i did too)
- when Tex was updating the racing suits for safety standards or something he had a new design drawn up and Cal was like “no i wanna race with my old design 🥺🥺🥺”
- Tex thinks it’s adorable that he wants to race in that outfit bc it hasn’t been updated since strip started racing and it’s like a legacy passed down !! aw !!
- whenever he’s in the same room as Tex he plucks off Tex’s hat and wears it like he used to when he was a young whippersnapper
and Tex is like “gotdam!!! that hat looks just like mine !!!!” and Cal is like 😐😑😐 “y’aint funny tex”
- says the weird country stuff like
“that boy’s cornbread ain’t done in the middle”
“nervous as a cat in a room full o’ rocking chairs”
“if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise”
“i’m fixin to (insert perfectly normal errand nobody announces)”
“they was bangin’ like a screen door in a tornado.” (he got that one from Tex and only says it when he ain’t isn’t around Strip and Lynda)
- says “git” instead of “get” bc of Strip and yall’d’ve bc of Tex and then everyone makes fun of him
Strip: “where you git that 🤨” “git over ‘ere” aka “CMERE BOY”
Tex: “yall’d’ve” “y’aint” “yall done got them good”Cal: yeah that’s mine now
