My humble application for membership in HWFMR
 
Well I figure I have been hanging around here long enough. I might as well throw my hat in the ring. Funny how this forum went from a place to pull GRs strings to a forum with folks I feel I have gotten to know even if only on line. I truly hope to see you guys at a track or two in the near future.

Anyway so I guess one of the requirements I need to meet is giving an embarrassing moment on the track.
This actually happened to me on the very first time I ever drove a car on track.
Some racer friends of mine rented TGPR in Ala. and asked me to bring my car.

So the second or third lap I start hearing this funny sound coming from the rear of the car. I pull into the pit area and the car idles fine and nothing seems wrong.
I go back out and it doing even worse. I come back in and we jack up the back of the car. Now I have to say here that the week before I had just installed new wheels with adapters for spacing. Well smart guy that I am I didn't torque the nuts holding the adapters to the hubs and both sides had come loose.
One of the guys with me said "So basically you went out with loose wheels."

Anyway so after that they started calling me Lugnut . Fitting I suppose.

As for proof of slowness on track I don't have video but I can present you with mylaps lap time at drivers school. Look for #36 on the list here.

Now I will say that I have done a 1:30 in my car since then so I am a little better but still slow.

I guess my title could be something like Torquemaster or the like. I am also a carpenter by trade as well as doing plumbing, electrical, etc. so I could also be Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none.

Well there you have it.:to_order:

Team Mal-Adapter?

Director of Mal-adapted modifications?

That is just in case that kiss-ass first paragraph allows him to weasel his way in!

:) Bob, I really wasn't trying to kiss ass there but after rereading it, well...

I was actually sitting there thinking about how this forum and my being here came about. What the hell am I making excuses for. Your the excuse generator.:to_order:

Well, you are a very funny guy, and I really do think you would make an excellent teammate. I usually don't give my vote so early, but in this case, I will capitulate, not tarry.

So, to your name: how about Team Jack of no Trades. I like Torquemeister too, considering the story.

Adrienne 12-05-2007 01:33 PM

Wait wait! Do we have a Team Shoe-In???

Torquemeister has nice ring. Inspector of Nuts, not so much.:)

DaveM993 12-05-2007 01:50 PM

Manager of Loose Nuts

I am sure we can go on and on...

I like - Director of the "Are your nuts loose, let me fix that for you" Department

Adrienne 12-05-2007 02:40 PM
