a new start
 

Hello everyone!!

I have been in the racing world a few years now and I have been lucky enough to have met many of you from both coasts (east and west). Along the way, I have been fortunate enough to both help and learn from a lot of drivers when it comes to cars and techniques. I’m equally grateful for the “Man, you sucked on that run.” feedback as I am the pats on the back. After just over three years of battling it out with the orange cones and in the trenches of this forum, I'm faced with an even greater opportunity to race with many more of you-- I have been offered and accepted a job at Ridetech in Jasper, Indiana. This move will allow me to attend Eastern and Central events and I am very excited to meet and race with many more of you as I travel with my Ridetech trailer in tow. I’m excited about the move to Indiana and the opportunity to add more event coverage and suspension information for everyone to enjoy and watch. It will be a great 2014!

Dude! You suck!





Congratulations Rod!

Man, I think that would just about be my dream job...CONGRATS!!

To do what you love to do, and get paid for it...doesn't get any better than that.

WOW how AWESOME is that. Congrats!!!

I love you to man! :thumbsup: LOL

Thanks :)




Thank you Mike

Congrats!! Bret, and his company, are a huge asset to this community and hobby. What an opportunity! Wish you nothing but the best!

Thats too cool. Congrats.

Congratulations - Great Company, Great People! I love Southern Indiana, but I'm a bit biased since I've spent my whole life here. I know a few people that live and have lived in Jasper and really liked it.

I'm not sure if you like German Festivals, but they have a BIG ONE! Mmmmm, German Beer!

Congrats on the new venture! Bret and the whole Ridetech team are good people. Good luck and have fun in 2014.

Congrats, are you going to be doing sales/tech?

The Midwest has some of the best events around.

Congrats, Rod! Best of luck with the new start :thumbsup:

I will be running the Trailer program for Ridetech

Congrats! I'm sure we will be seeing you along the way this year.

Rod, great news about the new job. This is a great fit for both you and RideTech. Wish you well and I'm glad us west coasters will still get a chance to catch up with you and Suzy!

Congrats Rod, sounds like a great opportunity working for Ridetech. Good luck with the new job!

Score! Wishing both parties a long term win-win relationship.

Congratulations :thumbsup:

Eff ya! (like yeah! not eff you lol)

Thanks Matt!! I really have enjoyed our friendship the last 3 years, you have become part of that autocross family I have tried to surround myself with that group is what I will miss the most

congrats

Congrats! Things in CA were feeling a bit crowded anyways.

Great opportunity with a great company - best of luck!

Congrats, man!! Very cool news!

onwards and upwards. Im sorry I couldn't make it happen for you but its a great opportunity to advance with.

No really, im happy for you.

Thank you Vince, I will stop by a few times before I get going:thumbsup:

When are you leaving? De Anza dual auto-x is on may 18th.

Congrats Rodney, that's a great job with a great company....and you're gonna love all the events out there, lots of great people to hang out with in the MidWest....

Rodney and Suzy came out to visit Indiana a couple of weeks ago...when it was 8 degrees below zero...and he STILL took the job!

It is an honor to have someone with his talent and enthusiasm working with us. He will be running our events display program. He'll be mainly in the Midwest but you'll still see him pop up at west coast events...starting with the grand national roadster show next weekend in Pomona.

Welcome Rodney and Suzy...we're gonna have some fun!

Thank you for the complements and the welcome Bret :captain1:

that should be a great job.

Congrats to you Rod (and Suzy!) for the opportunity... we all know behind every good man is a great woman. :D

:thumbsup:

Congratulations! I hope to get to meet you.

Congratulations!!
 

I spent 3 1/2 years working at QA1 and traveling all over the country attending events. During that time, I was able to meet Bret and a lot of his crew. Bret is a class act and good dude. He is a guy truly living the American dream!
Congrats on the new gig. Its a lot of work, but there is a lot of reward helping fellow enthusiasts fulfill their car aspirations and dreams.
Have fun!!

Thanks My brother, you are right, Suzy has supported me every day, she works on cars (really works on cars) races hard and has learned about car setups and has always kept me honest (when I suck she says so) when needed and with Mary in her court she has become really good racer
