What class does your friend race in (ponies, street stocks, VRA mods, IMCA mods, etc.)? The name doesn't ring a bell, but I don't really have time to follow the other classes (crewing for a Sprint is a FULL time job at the track!).

My "shop" is mobile. My City of San Buenaventura business license says I'm a "Mobile Auto Repair Service", but I pretty much work when I need to. I specialize in High Performance engine work and repair, and have 3 ASE certs. Hell, I even worked for Bill Elliott once, but sometimes I have to do routine maintenance work to pay the bills. I do alot of carb rebuilding and diagnostic work too. Made enough to get through August on a turbo Volvo in July. The rest is just peanuts. I'm perfectly content with "getting by". Of course, my ex wasn't to hip on that line of thinking. Steves Repair in T.O. has been trying to get me all summer (I worked for his brother's Sprint car team last year), but I can't afford to leave my tools there. I do alot of minor rebuilding and assembly in my garage. I used to run a full business out of it, but my neighbors didn't appreciate it, and called the city and had them send me a warning. Did you know it's against the law in Ventura to work on a vehicle at a private residence unless the registered owner lives there? Anyway, I went legit about 8 years ago, and got my business license and registered my business name with the city, county and state. Even had a Yellow Pages listing with GTE, but that $500 a year could buy tools instead, so I dropped it after a year. My work truck is a '95 F-150 with 3 toolboxes in the bed, and alot of diamond plate! I used to always carry my air compressor with me too, but now I leave it here unless the job requires air tools. I live over by the Govt. Center. Where are you at? How long have you lived around here? My number is 650-BONE (2663).

Take care
~Chris
