Proud Dad
« on: February 28 2012, 07:37:50 PM »
My son is attending Nashville Auto Deisel College and has been since June. he is studying Gasoline, underbody, and high performance. he has stayed near the top of his class in nearly every phase of the courses he has taken so for.  :D  . he started dating a young lady from there and told me that her dad is Brian Finch. Brian is a race car driver and custom builder. He has been on Power Block, horse power tv and i resently seen him on the Optima Battery street car challenge. Brian offered my son a job helping him with the builds that he does at home and my son accepted. From what he tells me they love him and the work that he is doing. I am very proud of my son and hope that this maybe a door to his future. Just sharing my happiness with you guys thanks.  :rock:

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

When one looks around at how many kids think the government is going to support them for the rest of their lives, then you gotta know you have raised a kid that will be able to take care of himself and do well.  We need good wrenches, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and ac guys far more than we do arts majors, or sociologists.. ..
