My new job, you WILL be jealous! May 19, 2010, 06:43:22 PM Well I started a new job today. Got a call a couple days ago from a friend that says his dad needs some help around his personal shop and he wanted me to just be there with him everyday to lend him a hand around the shop. So I said no problem just let me work out my notice at my current job and I will be there. Well yesterday my 2 weeks was up so he gave me the address to his dads. His name is Mike McCandless and he used to own our local dragstrip...well I never put it together who his dad was until I got to his shop today! When I walked in the shop my jaw hit the floor. There stands a Drag Racing legend! Herb McCandless! aka "Mr. 4 Speed" famous Sox&Martin driver. I have never been so nervous in my life! lol Today went pretty good though we pulled and old duster drag car from behind his shop and cleaned it up. Pulled the motor out of another 61 Plymouth to put in a 6.1 Hemi out of a new charger. Pressure washed the bottom of it and under the hood and painted it. After I loosened up a bit the day went pretty good. Then lunch came around and he said lets go eat, got some guys you will want to meet, I said ok! lol We had lunch with the Race Tech drag racing team and a few other drivers. All in all this has GOT to be the best job ever. I have pinched my self multiple times today to see if I was dreaming. But it is indeed true! Oh and his son Mike has the Fastest street driven GTS Viper in the world! Quote Selected
