vacation time?

[art leong]

In 1979 we raced at the E'town Summernats. Showed up an hour late for work on Monday. Heard a raft of s**t from my boss. I told him he was lucky I even showed up.
The next week we raced at the Grandnational Molson in Sanair Canada. Dropped by work 2 days later to get my stuff. At that time I became a professional racer. Till we quit in 1981

[Ed Carpenter]

I started earning 8 hours per month. I now earn 11 hours per month. I have 324 hours vacation right now so about 8 weeks on the books. If I stay long enough I could earn 21 hours a month(about 6 weeks per year). Hard to get off weekends as a State Trooper. If races were held during the week it would work better for me. LOL

[Run to Rund]

Used to be 2 weeks after 1 year service, 3 after 10, and 4 after 20. Now I have 52 weeks per year, lol.
