It's a group that falls under CASC (canadian automobile sports club), they follow most of the SCCA rules, but are pretty relaxed in terms of classing, what you bring, etc. Unless you're absolutely crushing your competition, kinda like the guy who was codriving with me (he finished 27th overall, whereas I was 58th overall, with 120+ drivers!) the organizers aren't really going to say anything, unless there's a safety risk, ie; rollovers. I think the rule is that your track width must be greater than your overall height, so if the dakota was sufficiently lowered, and had wider wheels, it may have been ok to run. There were all sorts of cars there, from a stock Jetta TDI to a Miata based, tubular chassis, with a racecar body on top of everything. I missed a gate, but finished the run. When I was marshalling, I spoke with a guy who had been doing some form of autox for a few decades now. He basically said "if you miss a gate, and it's safe to do so, keep going. You can always use the practice". |

Lol. When someone starts with "I'm ready to tell the truth", you know they are lying. Actually a true story, but not mine. It is how my buddy got an indy block for his pickle fork hydroplane.
My garage speakers were just some crappy old speakers. DCM or something like that. I gave them to my neighbor. I thought the 8 ball story was more exciting. Edit: found a picture of my buddy's boat. This pic is at Calero reservoir about 30 years ago. Last edited by Sapphireho; 06-10-2019 at 10:46 AM. |

one of our window shade installers got arrested for a probation violation Friday and as a result got his company van impounded. now I have to get a notarized letter saying that I can pick up the van from impound, go to the police HQ and get a release form then go pick up the van at a place that only takes cash. this Monday is off to a great start.

I think the mounts should be interesting, offering a more stable foundation. |

you would think but this is construction so either nothing will happen and he'll just comeback to work when he can or he'll get a promotion.
in my exp construction is a shit industry. almost nothing will stop you from being able to get even the most basic jobs. hell, we've had labor on jobs that lived in half-way houses(aka I just got out of prison and they're trying to transition me to normal life since it's been so long) working as labor on jobs. we even bought them basic tools and PPE so they could start on something besides cleaning up garbage. many of our foreman are high level drunks. I'm talking the type that have a beer before they brush their teeth in the morning. it's the bottom barrel of society. even the office staff aren't much better. and until legit schools started offering Construction Management degrees nobody actually went to school to "get into" construction. most people tried and failed at something else and ended up here. nobody field or office can plan 2 inches in front of their faces. even when they know they'll need something they will wait on purpose so it's an emergency when they actually need it. I could go on for hours as to why this industry sucks. shady owners and shady labor providers that will call immigration at the end of a job so their labor gets arrested and they don't have to pay them. yeah that happens. not at my co(it's to big) but smaller ones. this is why I'm going back to school. I have to get out and the hard part is once you're in it's hard to get out. tenure is the largest determining factor to pay. doesn't matter how shitty you are at your job. "But he's been here for 10 years" means everything and it's driving me nuts. /rant.... for now good question. we still don't know, he's still in jail. probably waiting on the judge or bail or neither and it's going to be a while. |
