Glenn, Best of luck on the new postion with a new company. Will miss seeing your car in Vegas!

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm used to driving 300 to 400 miles to some races, but it takes a lot longer ussually to go that far back east, out west we have a lot less people and towns to get in your way, and the police are a little more liberal with the speed limit. BG I'll definitly get with you when I get there, and I'll be working in the natural gas industry, you haven't got some land with a nice house and shop on it do you? Al, missing Vegas won't be easy either, have met a lot of good people from all over the west down there. Hoping to be able to run several NSS events back east, so that should be fun. Looks like I'll be heading that way in 2 or 3 weeks, have to get all the house sold here, and tie up all the loose ends, probably be making the big part of my move about mid Jan, hopefully not during a blizzard.

I think you will be shocked by the number of MOPARS that support our local tracks. Welcome to the area and I look forward to meeting you.

Look forward to meeting you and doing some racing!!!

We're gonna miss ya out west. I'm sure you'll enjoy it back east. Good luck with the move!

If your car is NSS legal you can run with the 422 group at at least some of the races. Definitely attend the Nostalgia Nationals at Beaver Springs (central PA).

from WV the farther east and south you go the more track you will find

Glenn,

If you need any help relocating to WV let me know. I live along the Western border of WV along the Ohio River in a small town called Ravenswood. I went to school in Fairmont and worked there for 10 years. I still have a lot of contacts in the real estate market in Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Fairmont, and Morgantown. If we can help let us know.

Greg

Best of luck to you Glenn and give em hell!

Was a pleasure to meet up with you Glenn. I think of you whenever I start my car up and #3 doesn't have any water in it! Your ceramic sealer saved my MaTS! Take care of yourself. Wyoming will probably be a nice place to leave in January.

Welcome to the area. You will find out soon that the people & the Racers in this area are some of the nicest and helpful you will ever meet. When you get to meet BG and the crew you will glad you came here. If you need any help at all getting settled in or anything at all send me a PM.- Randy

Thanks guys, from the west and the east, as with anything like this, pretty excited and a liitle nervous at the same time. Been looking on the internet and housing is a better deal back east, lot's of houses out of town, on a few acres, not too many with a shop, but will have to build one of them right away. Look foward to meeting all you knew guys, and hopefully sometime I'll see all you guys from the west again. Jay hope that hole stays dry for a longggggg time. You just need to start racing more again, kids, motorcycle,,,ect know how all that is.

What area of West Virginia you looking at?

Looking around Clarksburg, Bridgeport, Fairmont, Morgantown, Parkersburg, or just across the border in Southern Pa. My plan is to probably rent an apartment for a few months to see which are I like the best, unless I find a house and shop on a few acres that I like really quick, then I'll learn to like that place, most of my work right now anyway is Northwest of Clarksburg.

I work in Clarksburg, if you need anything or help with anything shoot me a pm.

Will do Bryan, Thnaks

I go to the gas and oil fields everyday delivering tools Maybe I'll see you at a location..

Glenn,

The housing market in the Clarksburg, Fairmont area is stronger than most areas of the state due to the FBI Center and hi-tech jobs. Morgantown has WVU and the University Hospital. Morgantown/Monongalia County has the lowest unemployment rate (5.7%) in the state. Rentals in college towns like WVU tend to get crazy unless you are on the outskirts of the town.

Parkersburg's housing market appears to be slower than the Northcentral part of the state. I haven't compared the rental market in Parkersburg to Northcentral WV but I would assume it is a little cheaper.

Parkersburg area gets you to 5 or 6 tracks in the Ohio area and Pittsburgh Raceway Park is within 4 hours or less. National Trail is around 2 hours or less from Parkersburg. Norwalk would be 3.5 hours. Tracks in Cincinnatti would be 3.5 to 4 hours. Hauling to tracks in Ohio from the Parkersburg area would have less hills also. There is an 1/8 mile track in between Point Pleasant and Winfield which would be about an 1 to 1.5 hours from Parkersburg.

Clarksburg, Fairmont, Morgantown area has no local tracks and Pittsburgh Raceway Park would be the closest at about 1.5 to 2 hours away. There are some tracks in Maryland but hauling a race car over the mountains makes it a little more expensive.

I may be telling you some things you already know depending upon how familiar you are with area. I hope the info helps out in making your decision. I know racers look at things differently than your average bear. No pun intended BG!

Thanks Greg, all good info, been looking a lot on the net, lots of houses for sale there, compared to Wyoming anyway, the plan right now is to find an apartment in Clarksburg, Bridgeport, or Fairmont, then check out the whole area, ideal situation would be a few acres with a house in a rural area close to any of the towns I mentioned,a shop of some type would be a bonus if i could find one with that combo, think I have my house here sold, but it will depend on the interested persons financeing how long that might take. The car in your post looks very interesting,,,,,definitly like the color,,,,,what are you building?

Michael, you delivering drilling tools? Or tool tools? Like that b body

Drilling tools---------on my way now to a Nomac location-------Thanks on the car---
