A typical day at work is atypical. I have schedules, meetings, and projects I work on. 80 percent of the time, it gets disrupted by a project in the field that needs attention. So if you have ADD, my job is a great place to be.
A really awesome day at work is when a customer calls us up with a question that has really stumped them and we reach back into our company, pull all of our resources together and come up with a solution to help them.

On the pit crew, we're a volunteer team and always looking for talent. From a company perspective, Boeing is always hiring, and there are always different jobs posted on their career page.

1969 MGB convertible. I was 14. I brought it home, and my parents freaked out. It was a wreck, and they didn't think I'd be able to rebuild it, but I did, and then I was a 15-year-old with a car and no licence.

It's only illegal until you get caught. In today's society, it's all about fuel economy. In Europe there are cars that get 70 miles to the gallon, and they allow them to travel a lot faster than here. If our infrastructure supported it and the technology was allowed to be, it's quite possible.

The first year I built my race car, we raced it at Bonneville, and we went 172 mph. Took the car home, put it up for the winter, drained all the water and fluid out of it, woke up one morning in the freezing cold, and noticed rust underneath car. Apparently, nascar motors have a hidden pocket, where water doesn't drain on its own. The water froze, and the block of the engine cracked. Oh Shit! Time for a new motor. $15,000 later.
