[Land-speed] HEY GUYS ( and gals? )

[J.D. Tone]

Glen gets to verify his hand numbers with the ones of the tapes, figure 
which mile to use, and if the course was the right one. I get to look at the 
56 pages, that's right folks 56 pages landscape style, determine which 
vehicle numbers did not set the final records and start looking for the 
fastest speed for the blue tags. Can't use the exit speed so those are lined 
out, can't use the quarter mile speed cause tha't only to get on the long 
course, then type them all out for the engraver. Yes, I get calls on why 
can't I have the 1/4 mile speed it was my fastest.

Then I'll go thru Glens record stuff trying to match them with Eds numbers 
on following days for the records. I'll do all the certs and send them off 
to Glen who will go thru them and tell me about 20% are wrong, switched 2 
numbers, spelled the entry name wrong, wrong date etc. After all the certs 
are correct I'll do the red tags with Glens numbers even if the the record 
on the site is different than Ed's. (just the way it is folks)

While I'm doing this I get to do 3 more El Mirage meets plus the World Fnals 
which is done the same way speed week is....I also get requests for 
duplicates, e-mail on where are my tags?, Where are mine from last year , 
etc..By the way I have 15 envelops from the last few years with 
undeliverable addresses record certs included.

At this time I would like to prepare my car for World Finals and El Mirage, 
manage and play on a adult Slow-Pitch ball club and watch my grandson play 
Football. I know what I'd rather do--------play soft ball.

I've tried to get fired by Jim Lattin and he says no way. So why everyone 
else is worried about how to get out of their car in a firesuit they have 
never worn, blind folded with a bag over their head. I'll just plunk thru 
the pages of numbers and have a few chuckles.

PS: Ed W summer intern----get real
