Sunday Mopar Madness Winner winner chicken dinner at Dragway 42

Thank you, I appreciate that. my dad pushed me to not become a mechanic like he is.
Even though I was mad at him at the time, it paid off. He wanted me to be able to work on cars as a hobby and not for a living.

So I thank him all the time for talking my “know it all” 18 year old self out of becoming a wrench for a living. And since I don’t wrench every day for a living, my motivation and energy level is much higher than his to do race car stuff.
Yeah, that's a good dad for sure. I do engine machining and cylinder heads. It's not what it's cracked up to being at the shop I work at & I couldn't afford to fix anything I own , if I couldn't do it myself.
Plus the daily bending over crap is a killer on the back eventually.
I also, would rather work on my car than go to work and get paid lol
