Its' union, but in name only. All they do is take your dues,run to Sacramento to hobnob with the liberal elite and support political positions I don't agree with,so I didn't join it. I heard of a World Champion in either Stock or Super Stock who started winning races early on in a season,went to as many races as it took, won the series, and was quoted as saying," We used all our vacation time, sick time and lying time to do this!!"

When I quit racing in 1981. I went into the fishing boat business did that till 1991 sold out and went to work for NYC(still ran fishing boats on the side). Retired in 2005 tore up my licenses. So I wouldn't be prone to go back to anything. Now I retired and can't seem to find enough time to get everything done. Life ain't to bad.
