"Was told by the career bloke that I was useless. \nSo I applied for a job at NCR and passed the entrance exam with flying colours  and when could I start, We need to see your drivers licence I'm only 15. Guess I'm not getting the job. \nSo applied at Attenborough dental passed all the tests &amp; got a apprentice position  passed the City &amp; guilds with distinction \nFunny thing the same Career bloke presented me with an award at the college. \nAs soon as I had my papers I was fired as being overqualified \nSo quit the dental &amp; started my own bodyshop in Cinderhill along with a guy that worked for Rolls Royce (loved it) \nAfter about 2 years the building owner (My dad) wouldn't renew our lease \nSo it was back into the dental lab working 82 hours a week, Slave labour. \nGot fired from that job when the apprentice I was teaching told the dentist he could do my job for half of what I was getting. \nWithin three weeks they were calling to get me back but I decided that if I am going to work such long hours I might as well do it for myself. \nPicked up all the Dentists i used to do the work for at the lab that fired me along with a lot more. \nGot burned out after 5 years &amp; decided to come to the states and started a lab here \nmy interest was always racing so I was pit crewing for a couple of guys in formula ford until one day one of them said have a go, \nWithin11 laps I was almost 2 seconds faster than the owner  He said it was good enough for pole position at the last race. \nNot 2 bad to say I had not raced in 12 years. Did a few races but found out quickly that it takes $$.  \n"
