Well... My dad won't be getting out of the hospital in time for the racesso I won't be pushing around the dude in a wheel chair anymore... More than likely, I'll be with my dad's buddy who looks like he can be Joe Dirt's older brother. Say hi if you see me!

By the way... I forgot to mention... Depending on what I wear... You'll know it's me by my tattoos. I have one on each leg of a devil dress up in leather and on the other leg an angel dressed up in lace. Say hi and take a swig of some Love Potion #7 ((Jack Daniels)). I always find a way to sneak in a bottle

Unfortunately... I wasn't able to go. Dad got his hip replaced Wednesday, and had a fever all weekend so I was dealing with that, and his rude nurses. I would have felt really guilty going to the races.

High School Project
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2007 8:41 pm
Hey gang,
I have a project planned for next spring that I need your help on.
What I want to do is develop a speech/presentation geared towards the local high school mechanics/auto shop/etc classes that shows the importance of education in motorsports.
It is my general opinion that counselors do not properly explain to kids why they need to study and take various classes in high school and kids think that they should only try in classes they like. For example, a kid that may excel at auto or wood shop may not want to try in English or Math classes. Or a kid that is wanting to go into the business world may shy away from the Auto Mechanics classes. Even though this is the 21st century, there are still girls that are not always welcomed into the "shop" classes.
What I would like to do is schedule a presentation where me and the crew bring the 1956 to the local high school and while we are dressed in our crew uniforms unload the car, set up a 'pit-space' and do a speech/presentation during this that explains the need to get their money's worth out of their classes.
Marketing, Economics, Accounting, Public Relations, History, Auto Shop, etc while stressing the importance of legal on-track only drag racing. If possible I would coordinate this with a local DARE or Police/Fire Department. Keep in mind, we are in a rural area where the largest town in our school district is about 880 people.
Have any of you done something like this and can you give me an outline of your presentation?
How bad of an idea would it be to do a jack-stand warm-up of the car complete with a converter check? All normal safety protocols would be used as if we were at the track.
Thoughts?
