Well, big day has come to let my job know that I have to leave. I was trying to hold out until the end of the year so I can finish out the year with them, but the new job wants me to fly out and start building cars up for next year and will pay me handsomely to do so.
God, is 9 am too early to drink? Cause I need a shot before I do this... 
Congrats and Good Luck!
Eh. It's 11 o'clock somewhere. Best of luck, dukey.
Best of luck!
Care to elaborate on the "build cars" line?
Good luck! Man, lots of peops putting in their notice around here...
Tough talks aside. Congrats dude!

Going to Texas to assume the position of "Team Manager" of Bob Stretch's Trans Am team. He has 5 Camaros that need to be torn down and rebuilt in the next 2 months. First race of the 2013 season is March 3rd in Sebring. Gotta have 5 cars ready by then

Wait, didn't you just move into your current job a few months back or am I confused?
Either way, good luck.

Yea, and it's something that I actually like and with a car manufacturer that I love. It was going to be a position I was going to settle in and be in for the long haul.
Enter Bob Stretch and the final race of the Trans Am season at Road Atlanta. Got a call asking if I could crew the weekend, told them yes. Anti-Stance and I worked our asses off. Bob came up and talked to me twice (once at the track, once at the Award Banquet) and was asking if I were interested in running the team.
I know the racing world is volatile, but the amount of pay is tripled what I'm currently getting paid, have the chance to run a Championship winning race team, and Bob has other businesses he wants to start with me in mind running them
may not be able to, since you've only been there such a short time .. ( and I'm sure you already know this 
but do your best not to burn your bridges at the current job ... good luck .. sounds like a great opportunity
You had me at Trans Am Team...
Livin the dream man! Good luck today
Jeez, you are a lucky soul. Good luck.... it's probably going to be the most insane, yet most awesome time of your life.
In reply to wbjones:
Luckly the apartment I'll be staying in is the second story part of the race shop, so I can work, then go home. My commute is about 15 steps 
Long hours are in my future
Awesome! Congrats on the new gig!

Thanks guys.
This will leave an open position at my current job.
If anyone is interested in selling Ferrari Parts in the Atlanta region, PM me with your resume. I will give them to my boss

The team (Wheels America Racing), if I remember correctly, does an open test for people interested in renting a seat for a race or a season. I believe this is the track they do test at.
I got the 2013 schedule, it shows Daytona and The Circuit of the Americas on it, but dates haven't been set
You'll need to log in to post.
