[Sprint]

so..... how much do YOU pay to work for that lot?

[saiken]

ha ha ha, nothing =) i get paid amazingly.

and its an absolute honor to work on those cars and with my boss, who has built some of the best Ford V8's in the country. It's absolutely amazing to be honest and I'm so thankful I got the opportunity to take part in it.

Enjoy!! - I'm sure you're there because you've earned your spot.

Just so the rest of us can get even more jealous - whats the WORST part of the job. (You'd better not say having to do test drives !!! ).

LoL, well if you want me to be a smart arse the worst part of it was when I had to take the 72' porsche from Brighton to Sandown.... or maybe the squirt in the yelow Pantera... that thing is lethal :eek:

But to be serious, the worst part is crazy deadlines and mass amounts of work that have you working 6am-9pm and sleeping in the factory..... Plus on a race weekend it can be absolutely crazy, my boss has done weekends where he has only had like 2-3hrs sleep a night and we've driven him to and from the factory in a truck with a car or two so that we can get it back to race ready condition and have it back by morning.

Also.... spending 250hrs building an engine in 2 WEEKS, having it go onto the dyno for hours and hours and have it pull some of the best numbers a 289w has ever done [532hp and 378ft/lbs or 397kw and 512nm] just to have it exploded on the track because of a conrod bolt that wasn't as strong as it was meant to be!!!!!!!! 2 independent engine builders and an engineer pulled it apart and deemed why it failed and the blame was put onto one of the largest performance bolt manufacturers in the world.... Who have had a number of bolts fail recently and have had to payout some rather large sums. Our engine was absolutely insane with half the parts coming from NASCAR.
