Ok, so I've been working on this car out at the drag strip for... well, my whole life. This year, has been nothing but a huge pain in the ass. First weekend we go out, the guy doesn't have the parts needed for the car to run. No one else at the track has what we need. The guy made himself look like a complete idiot. Not to mention he's supposed to be paying everyone's way in, or so he has claimed. Well, he didn't. He never does. Any time he does pay, he doesn't pay for enough people. So, pretty much, I got up at 9am on my one and only day off, to drive 30 miles one way, pay $25 to get in, and nothing worthwhile happens.
Then this weekend.. Well, he had all the right parts. He learned his lesson last time. Now, today also happens to be father's day. What I wanted for my dad today was for everything to go smooth on the car, so we would both see the car haul some ass. But of course not. I went above and beyond my normal tasks, doing other people's jobs because they weren't. These people will say things such as "Hey, let's get this put on," which is the right thing to say, but he will then walk off to deal with whatever the fuck it was. Nothing important or relevant to the car we are working on. So, it's finally ready to go. Just gotta move it from our stall over to the track. EVERYONE left. They all just walked off, to go watch the guy that we should have been running with. WTF?! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THEY GET THEIR ASSES IN GEAR SO WE COULD RUN WITH HIM?!
And their kids.. oh, their kids.... One guy has his own CLAN that he brings with him. 3 or 4 girls, maybe 2 of them over 13 years old, and his whiny ass son. The kid whines when he doesn't get to do something that someone else is already doing, gets in the way, hollers every five minutes for his dad, and it's always something stupid. Our driver, well his kids aren't a problem. Except one. Overweight, bossy little bitch that thinks she's a princess, even though her dad does NOT treat her like it. She doesn't do shit, except attract a bunch of teenage boys that do nothing but get in the way. Not to mention she for some odd reason feels the need to pack herself into the back of the truck, when we already have more people than we really need. She didn't ask anyone if it was ok. Not the one driving the truck, not the one that's in charge, not the guy that owns the truck/car, no one. She doesn't come within 10 feet of the car, let alone touch a tool.
All of this has been going on for years. The reason my family puts up with it is because WE, my family, are the heart of that car. We are tired of the owner and his family mucking up everything, but we want to see that car haul, because we know that if they were to listen to us, it would. Sad to say though, I honestly believe now that the ENTIRE Harris family should die. Men, women, AND children. They have cost my family too much time, gas, money and energy on our ONLY days off.
