I want to sell cars, for real. I finally have some leeway (time/support) to see if I can actually do it. It's weird, I feel a bit embarrassed talking about the job because of all the stereotypes about it, but I'm really looking forward to starting work. I'm voluntarily giving up every Tues Night race and my Saturdays and I feel fine about it. I have to wear slacks, a tie, and maybe a jacket. I don't mind that, actually like it, but it's a culture change for me as I last wore business attire regularly in 2002-ish. I only have one suit set (interviews/weddings/funeral) so I need to buy some clothes. And yet I'm looking forward to starting. Nutty.
Figuring my drug test sample doesn't get tampered with, and Sudafed isn't on the list, I start June 17. They are good with me taking time off to go to Worlds in Sept (we're going for a week).
I'll keep going with the Aetna Nutmeg Spring Series, I just have to make it at least break even. I hope to cross-promote and all that.
Realistically I'm going to stop doing the extra event services work due to time constraints. I'll do the ones for this year but drop the more time consuming ones. That stuff is all profit, like the June 6 (Pie Ride) and June 14 (White Plains Crit) events will pay for about 1/4? of the shortfall of the Series, and one of the main reasons I don't want to start until June 17. Carpe Diem Racing will be significantly short for the year and the IRS doesn't like it when a business loses money all the time because then it becomes a hobby. I'll do two events not my own going forward - Tokeneke RR (because I can drive up in 30 minutes and I'm done when I leave the venue, no results or anything) and the club's Silk City Cross Race (close, lots of support from club, I do upload results though).
