Subject: Re: OK, time to fess up... by BillH on 2009/1/26 15:45:31 I'm Bill and I'm not sura how old I am. I quit counting when I was 26. My birthday is on a national holiday and I figured that with everyone else celebrating, I didn't need to. I have a B.S. in Automotive Engineering and designed construction equipment for Ingersoll-Rand for 4 years. Naturally, with an automotive degree, I went to work in electronics for the rest of my career. Not counting trucks and one Datsun 260Z, all I've owned and driven are Corvettes. I bought my first, a 63 Z06, when it was only 7 years old. I was very involved in Corvette clubs and NCRS for a long time. All my spare time revolves around racing. I was crewing when I was 14 on drag cars when the Indy Nationals was the only national race in the country. I've raced cars, karts, and bikes including the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. I've been a driving instructor in a pro school, worked in various race shops. Two years ago, I did 42 weekends or weekdays at the racetrack as a driver, crew or instructors. I'm more laid back now, just private driver coaching, playing with my racecar, Vettes, crewing vintage NASCARs and volunteering at SCCA races (licensed tech inspector). |
