Toward the end of the year at GLD i started to use aliases just to get a laugh out of people since they announce the name of the drivers. Did anyone do this? If so, lets hear your alias name you use :beer:
I like the name Bob Porterhouse, i used that a couple times, i has a nice ring to it. But this Sunday, i think i use my old nickname, Fat Steve. I was bored, thought i'd be creative :rolleyes:

They have another candidate that they need to bring in. After that they will pick one and have him meet with the plant manager. I am leaving for the UP tomorrow. I have an interview at a mining company in Pembine WI. On Monday i have an interview at another iron ore mine up here. I would rather move over towards WI to be closer to my family and located further south so it isn't as far to drive when going to races. However, the mines up here pay BIG $$$, so we'll see what happens. Regardless.....I see a new job in my near future. I'm working 12+ hours a day for $12K/yr less than what i was making before. It's time to move on to greener pastures!!!

Saturday I will be working, not racing, and I am not even sure what I will be doing. Might be running the compulink, doing a little announcing, but I'll probably be helping Peggy in the lanes. Most likely all of the above!
Sunday I should be able to play. :D Might drive down with the Cobra on Saturday, it has clutch problems but is still quite driveable...

Hope all ends up well for you, good luck man!
I already spoke to Dave about this in private, but I echo Wayne's response.

Thanks for the offer man! I did the last one on my back in the garage and almost dropped the tremec on my head. :thud:
