  3. Go Pro camera comments

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Tried to run the GoPro this weekend at Mid Oho and came home with nothing.

     

    I wasn't happy with the instructions and not the most tech oriented guy

    out there but it was a bit complicated, I think.

     

    Anything out there with a basic on off buton and a suction cup?

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks, Ron

  4. Z-06 Mid Ohio Prep

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Thanks Jeff. I'll be giving you a call.

     

    MrA, Tko and AJ thanks for the info. I wasn't thinking I had much to do based on what I see on the street with this power, just didn't want to run into any problems once I got there.

     

    AJ, I know you had a Z-06, but the last Corvette I had was a '71 350 / 350 and before that a '68 427 tri power 425hp that I thought were fast.

     

    This thing is unreal! Nice car. Can't wait to get to the back straight at probably 160.

     

    Thanks again.

  5. Z-06 Mid Ohio Prep

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Just picked up a 03 405HP Z-06 and plan to do a NASA Mid Ohio weekend in July.

     

    I'm looking for someone familiar with pads, hi temp brake fluid, tire air pressure and exactly how to use the "active handling" settings on track.

     

    I have plenty of time on track with my AI car but not with this new bird.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

  6. Ips has it wrong!

    in Reviews

    As a small business owner depending on incoming calls requesting quotes, I try to set aside at least an hour every day in season to return that days calls. If I don't get them I at least leave a message and try again that evening.

     

    Funny thing... I'm always told I got the business because I was the only one that returned their call!

     

    I don't have "walk in traffic" and no storefront, but unless these guys are just booked with an unreal amount of business, running at full capacity and making tons of $$$, I can't imaging not returing calls to potential customers within a day or two.

     

    Possibly a part time guy on a quote desk would move this company to a new level of revenue and customer satisfaction, especially if he worked on commission.

     

    My 2 cents.

  9. Looking for new heat pump for the house...

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    I know I saw a number of comments in the past for a good honest HVAC company but would like to see some current info.

     

    Anyone have any recent experiences with the locals or know of anyone in the business that can install a new unit with warranty at a fair price?

     

    Any contact info would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks, Ron

  11. Mid Ohio: You Going?

    "got my competition license Friday and competed in my first two races on Saturday and Sunday... "

     

    Congrats on the license but how did you get the license in a day and run races same weekend?

     

    Did you do the Mid Ohio School ($$$) or go through the NASA HPDE process?

     

    I know the license process just isn't that easy...

  14. Remove and Install a windshield

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    I need to remove a windshield from a donor van and install in the 98 Astro work van I am in the process of sorting out.

     

    Any ideas on who might do this so I don't have to buy a new windshield from one of the regular glass companies that do on site installs.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks, Ron

  16. Deck Restoration business needs tech April to October

    in The Meat Market

    Posted

    What are the hours? How many days a week?

     

    April thru August are very busy. At Least Monday to Friday if it's not raining and if we miss a day we work Saturday. Days start by 9AM on the first job and we try to do at least 2, maybe 3 decks a day, depending on size. Good days finish by 4PM, maybe 5. September and October are based on customer demand but not nearly as busy.

     

    Willing to train someone with no experience?

     

    I have 2 crew leaders from last year that will each train a tech to travel with them. I don't send anyone out to a job for at least the first year without a crew leader that knows what he is doing and knows what is required for a perfectly finished restoration. So, yes, we will train.

    Plan to hire two techs April 1 for the summer season. Power wash and stain experience helpful but will train... hourly rate depending on experience and how quick you can get up to speed. Weekly bonus based on quanity and quality of jobs completed.

     

    If you enjoy working outside, take pride in your work and will show up every day ON TIME, e mail your resume to me at reisner@deckrescue.net.

     

    Techs last year averaged $350 to $450 plus per week depending on weather.

     

    My franchise only services the east side of Franklin and Fairfield counties so would prefer you live in the Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Gahanna areas.

     

    Thanks,

  19. Dim Sum in Columbus?

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Have friends coming in to visit this weekend and wanted to find a decent restaurant that serves Dim Sum to take them to Sunday.

     

    Did a search but posts were a couple years old and nothing that looks to still be open.

     

    Any help would be appreciated. If you've been there how was it?

     

    Thanks, Ron

  22. Columbus Ford Dealers 500

    in Pics and Vids

    Posted

    Most of you are too young to remember but Ashton Tate was a huge vendor of IBM data bases way back and I was their primary distributor (Ingram) on the east coast. I had a bunch of co-op money to spend or loose so we sponsored RapidFire Pit Lane for the 500 one year. Flew in execs from all the major computer retailers in the country and had limos shuffle them back and forth from hotels and the airport to the track.

     

    We had a gold hospitality tent (next to Rahal and Bud) for the weekend and started serving champaign breakfasts at 9am, catered lunches and a open bar all day and fancy dinners at night. Spent well over a hundred grand in sponsorship but the conputer business was flush at the time and didn't make a dent in the co-op I had to spend for the year.

     

    Got to do some parade laps with the Ford dealers and met most of the drivers.

     

    Unreal experience! Probably won't ever happen again.
