Too bad it's on-site in Topeka. That assistant manager of road racing sounds perfect. But got to pass at the topeka requirement.

Whenever I see "Topeka", I automatically run a word substitution algorithm in my head and come out with "Google".

I autocorrect to Tapioca.

What's Topeka like, anyway? I drove through Kansas once, but all I remember about the overall state is that it's flat, and compared to the state I had just finished driving through (Missouri) it had a noticeable lack of White Castles. I tend to find mid-western U.S. cities very cool though.

In reply to confuZion3 :

What’s Topeka like? From Wikipedia:

The name "Topeka" is a Kansa-Osage word that means "place where we dig potatoes",[12] or "a good place to dig potatoes".[citation needed

In reply to confuZion3 :

Topeka is like a fancy Wichita.

If Wichita is a casserole made with cream of mushroom soup, Topeka is that same casserole with a little garnish of parsley.

I am not going to lie... the second thing I did (right after reading those job postings) was zip over to Zillow to see what real estate looks like out there. It looks like a very nice (and affordable) place to live.

I love your descriptions of the city. Now I want to go visit.

Paging Gameboy. Can you move to USA and get out of "the disaster barrel"?

Many members say their website is one of the hardest to navigate.  Just saying.  New blood may be a good thing.

Seems most of the open wheel guys are mad at the Road Racing honchos this month.

THe folks that I know in the corporate team of SCCA are all great, Mike appears to be a fantastic person who always remembers people and has done an admirable job growing the club during his tenure.  I have spoken to him about the new registration portal and I know the goals of tool are admirable...  

I wish them the best of luck in the search.

Yes, totally wish them luck in the search. 

The listing showed up in my Instagram feed. Figured it would interest the GRM crowd. 

You'll need to log in to post.
