[OT] I got a job.. kinda
when I say kinda, I mean I have to try out for it.
at the end of February Im going to be going to the Virginia International Raceway to try out for a new race team to become a driver.
If I make it, I'm going to be racing in the American LeMans Series for the 2006 season.
oh and I'll be piloting a somewhat more tame level of a C5R
Wish me luck

My father races shifter carts once in awhile. 125 mph is fast when your butt is 2" off the ground. Hope you do well.

Keep us posted. Well at least keep me posted. It would be quite interesting to hear the "behind the scenes" in Corvette racing. I'm sure there's a tremendous amount of work involved, versus the more romantic views wannabees like me would have of doing something like that.
