Default Pit Crew Needed

Guys

Sorry
Got side tracked at work I didn’t realize this tread even posted I wasn’t done typing.

Due to low attendance of my regular team mates. I am forced to seek volunteers to join me in victory circle Saturday at Numidia Raceway. I WILL be serving up some polish Kielbasa. This is should turn out to be one hell of an exciting event.

Who’s coming?

Thanks Paul. When you have a top notch shop like they do I imagine they're always busy. This is proably one of the few events we'll miss. Believe me, I would love to help you if I were there.

Happy to hear it's not a Starbucks. I asked him if I could email him and he said yes. He also lists an email address on his website.

Is it possible I don't want to discuss this stuff over the phone at my desk where others can overhear my conversation? Is it possible that he or myself wouldn't remember the conversation and that some of the work wouldn't be as I expected or the car would sit waiting on the correct parts?

I did not expect an immediate response but I would have thought I would have heard something in the two weeks since sending the email. I also didn't expect this response from you.

I do know how to handle my business. And I do have very good reasons for doing things the way I do. Nuff said.

Good luck this weekend if you're racing. We're going up to Lebanon and I'm going to work on RT's. Big month coming up.

Hold everything I have been sent back to the minors Paul wins

I won't be making the event due to more convertor issues. The new convertor is still way too loose its out and being shipped back as we speek for some adjustment.

No one is more disapointed then me. I hate missing events but to go all that way and run low nine will be just as frustrating as staying home so I will be trying to forget about this mess and spend the week end with the kids

Thanks for the support Guys

No. And I've got your cupcake. I'm not pizzed. I just have reasons for doing things the way I do and I don't need some punk kid (that be you) telling me what I should do or how to do it. If I don't hear from Carmen maybe I should try and call him. What do you think?
