For the past two years,I have been working at a dairy processing plant. Could only race every other weekend if the weather was good. Most weekends off it wasn't good!! I drive 48 miles one way and the winter has been brutal. An opening in drying operations came up in a plant 13 miles from home. So after the testing,I took it!! This plant runs 24/7 until the summer months and then weekends off!! So...It is possible that the old 64 may finish pretty high in points at CFR this year!! Like good ol buddy Wes used to say...Boys....I am coming and Hells coming with me!! I am pumped!!

AWSOME for you man!!

You have to look out for your Family, and then Number 1! Looks like you killed 2 birds with this one. Long drives in the winter in these parts is total crap, safer for you for sure!!

Congrats! Please forgive my ignorance, but what is involved in "drying"? Is it related to the dairy industry?
Very happy for you.

Good deal.It's all about enjoying life with family and friends.I've learned the hard way to always give a 2 weeks notice.

Yes it is...The machines I run process about 84000# of whole milk per hour. We dry condensed skim which translates to around 8500# an hour of dried product. The plant I am going to makes coffee creamer. I sure hope Blue Boy uses it!! I sure hope if time permts,I can get another top ten in Pro E.T.!!

Thats great.....back when I was fresh out of high school working on a large family owned ranch we ran 6 days a week 12-14 hours a day....no saturdays off...only sundays....so whenever there was a race I wanted to attend I'd load up my tool box at 4pm Friday and QUIT !!!!(usually a big ugly argument)....only to return Monday at 5am and unload it and go back to work....did that for 3 years....Til I got a government job....then I was off all the time....lol

Thanks everyone for the kind words!! I did give a two week notice as I have 2 weeks vacation time and 4-5 sick days which I will get paid for. That there is a pretty good chunk of change!! I can't wait till the racing season gets here. The wife and I don't have many hobbies and we like to spend as much time at the track as we can.

I was curious as if this new job was for the same company and just a different division, but your comment just answered that, so congrat's on the switch, switching job's can sometimes be a burden on the mind, but sound's like this one was a no brainer,,


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Sounds like a win for the home team.
I will have to drag down there and see what the hubbub is about.
I know a handful of twin cities racers who get down that way , so I can't use the long tow excuse.
I am trying to decide if Grove Creek will be the home track again , or if I want to run 1/4 at the Rock.
I don't see us chasing points again , but I want to get out as much as my wallet will allow.
Look forward to seeing you out there.
