Hi all,
I have already posted, but thought an introduction would be in order. The name I generally go by is "Boo", but as you can tell by my username, there are variations of that. My real name is Stuart and I am a brother of Stacey, who worked very hard and diligently on the body work of Joe Amos recent record holding 1000 cc Kawasaki. WAY TO GO, JOE! I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and currently work in the Heavy Equipment industry.
Until recently, I pulled wrenches my entire life (from Briggs and Stratton's to cars to Harley-Davidson's), but got really burnt out on doing what I at one time enjoyed, for bosses who didn't appreciate my capabilities, just to try to make ends meet. My real expertise lies in mechanical things of any type. This is a God-Given ability I have, to be able to take ANYTHING apart, figure out how it works, and put it back together as good as new and sometimes even better than new.
I have never been to the salt flats or any other LSR "track", but after hearing about, and seeing how truely passionate my brother has become about being part of Joe's team and the whole LSR community, combined with my love for mechanical things, I plan on building up some vacation time, putting a bit of money aside, and trying to make it out to the flats to help Joe or Stacey (when he gets his up and running) as soon as I can.
Who knows, I may even like it so much, I'll turn my '67 VW beetle into a LSR machine!
Boo
