Big Change, Less...or possibly more info to come
 
So I am making a huge life change and getting to live a dream!

This Friday will be my last day in over 16 years of working for a Subaru dealership. Good news is I still have a ton of learned Subaru knowledge, Bad news is I'll have less access to new & upcoming info.

Where will I be going and doing??? :happyanim:

I have accepted a position as an Event Manager for Chin Track Days!! This means I get to visit, promote, schedule, and introduce people to the great track hobby at awesome, bucket list tracks all over the United States!! :confused0068:

My first road trip starts June 27th headed to Watkins Glen and then VIR and can't wait to get to all the amazing and historic tracks we host events at! Sebring International Raceway (SIR), Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Mid Ohio, Homestead Miami, Virginia International Raceway (VIR), Barber Motorsports Park (BSP), Daytona International Speedway (DIS), Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), Circuit of the Americas (COTA), National Corvette Museum (NCM), PittRace, Summit Point, New Jersey Motorsports Park, Eagles Canyon Raceway, MSR Houston and Atlanta Motorsports Park!!

Yes! In my own car, or one of the 4 company cars, currently 2 Miata's, a Cayman and a Ariel Atom. :burnrubber:

Fantastic!!!!!


This will put a wrench in your rehab enterprise, yes, no?
How about your race car?


Every weekend or will you get time off for good behavior.

Rehab enterprise: No
Race Car: Only in the sense that some of my weekends will now be work weekends
Weekends are free unless I am working an event, that is normally averages 2 per month.
