Well i've been in college for 2 years now and today was my last day. I finally graduated with an associates in High performance auto. Now I just gotta go out and get myself a good job so i can finally redo my 90 ctd and make it nice again.

Well , good luck with the 45 min rebuilds if you do the top fuel thing. I don't think I would like to be the clutch man.. Looks a little toasty. :shock:

Hey its 65 min :D What you've never done it in that amount of time. haha. Ya i know it will be tough but it will be fun. Plus how many people can say that they've worked on a top fuel team. And they just signed another contract with mac tools for more sponsership so i know its a consistent job for now and with this economy you cant complain about that at all.

Can you say which team you are looking at?? What will be your job?? I would make a great b.s. manager. :lol: Better yet I could be the left tire scrubber and Pete Toombs could be the right. :shock:

Im not sure what team yet but it will be with Kalitta motorsports. They operate 4 diff. teams so it will be one of them. Hopefully hillary will or doug kalitta. But its not a guarantee yet so i cant get my hopes up to much.

Isn't Connie Kalitta going to retire? To bad about his boy. I thought John Force was a gonner last year. Seems there has been a few bad ones in the last few years. I think the 1000 foot thing will help but I miss the 1320. I see the Sarge wrapped things up early again this year. I enjoy watching NHRA. GOOD LUCK.
