I've spent the last 9 years as a production technician for Freightliner LLC, In Cleveland NC. We are the largest Class 8 truck manufacturing facility in the world. We produce appr. 230 trucks a day. Our facility supplies trucks around the world. We build left and right hand drive models. Boring job sometimes, but pays well.

44, aircraft maintenance. Mostly DeHavilland Twin Otters and Beech (Ratheon) King Airs. Both of these types use Pratt&Whitney PT6A-27 turboprop engines. 625 SHP each at little more than 300 lbs per engine. Not bad.

42, Married to Lady Christina. My title is Senior Product Services Consultant - which means that I survived in software tech support/training longer than anyone else in the company.

I've been an SCCA member since 1989 and ran Solo II events until 2002. In 2003 I started racing a 83 RX7 IT car in SCCA club racing events. Along with keeping my race car going I am building an 85 GS street car that will have a 13B. I was into autocrossing C Prepared 5.0 Mustangs before I got wise - hence the handle
