Nope...I finished schooling and went into Engine Modification and Building..to fully learn those you need some racing back ground..so I pit crewed for a while...

My teacher made me learn about the full understanding of engines...and fuels and chassis...

When I get into something I have a vast yearning to learn everything about it...I do that with everything in life...

I havent stayed into the mechanic back ground even though I own an auto shop that currently does very little mechanic work...when I want a fix I go to my buddies race shop and build engines...

I do general construction now...I lost interest in cars a while back when one of the guys I sub'd from died after I built his last car...

Ok, to derail the train a bit more- anyone else find it funny to see a gas station running 87 and 89/90 at the same price?
And to re-rail this train a bit- ymeski56, where do you get your fuel? It would seem adding acetone to ~10%ethanol gas would be less than ideal as opposed to regular gasoline. I'm sure that was covered in the article.
