    New Job? Just may be for 08!

    It looks like I have a new job for the same employer going into the new year (business year). I'll be the new motorsports photographer/writer and can pick my jobs and can include any of the neaby states as far as Kansas Motor Speedway and cover any kind of racing I want :thumbsup: So it looks like a busy year coming up :thumbsup:
    Just thought I'd let you all know, and I am looking forward to the nadditional racing work

    Sounds like a cool new job that is right up your alley. (Gasoline Alley that is!)
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Yup, and from a quick look at the schedule I counted 7 IRL races and 5 NASCAR not counting the Busch and Trucks....and throw in the NHRA and local races, looks like a very busy spring through fall

    Thanks SmartWombat and tufcat. Now I just have to learn how to write.... I wrote one article and that was 2 or 3 years ago, but it seems that everyone who read it liked it so now I have try and repeat the feat.
    I may be getting that first taste of it the 28th and 29th of December at the Ft Wayne Convention Center where the USAC Midgets will be racing indoors for the 10th year. Tony Stewart will probably be there again as well, he won both nights last year.

    John,
    I met you at ORP and Indy this summer. Your help was very valuable. You said you were hoping to get a full time job with the paper. It looks like you have! May you have a blessed Thanksgiving and Great Christmas!
    Drop me a note!

    Hey Tom glad you found us! :thumbsup:

    Well it won't be full time, in fact they just cut some positions, and whats worse is I have been around longer than everyone except the Editor and staff photographer now, and I am still "freelance".
    I kind of started last night though as I was shooting a basketball game and got some race info from a couple drivers who there. One being Cameron Dodson letting me know what he will be doing next year and the other was invited to tun in a demo derby in January!

    Hey glad I was able to help you out Tom, so you going to be back this year?
