    Hopefully Ken and Keith won't be upset I'm posting this publicly, but I have recieved numerous emails about rumors, etc including myself and my position at Rolling Bones. Instead of emailing everyone about it, I figured a public thread would be easier..so heres the story... I left Rolling Bones just before the Bonneville trip this year, on my own account. for reasons I'd rather not share other than they are personal. I left on good terms with Ken and Keith. I've learned a lot from both of them, and in my short 2 years with them have accomplished more than I would have elsewhere. Its been a hell of a ride and I thank both of them publicly for allowing me to be in the spotlight with them. So, whats new for me, well, still looking for employment, but its slowly coming around, Only so many people can say no before someone says yes. So, once I get a job, I hope to get some money issues taken care of, and build myself a car (something that is long over due, and will hopefully show off some of my talents)...I've been approached to do some side work, but currently don't have a shop or even a place to work out of. So, maybe once I get settled here in CT, everything will kinda go back to normal for me...Yes, to answer the question that seems to come up, do I miss it, hell yeah, did it suck not being in Wendover this year with all my friends, yes, but I feel the move had to happen for me to be happy in the future. I am still the big supporter of Rolling Bones I have always been, I will always will be in love with those cars...they're part of who i am-thanks for reading
     
  2. Good luck and best wishes. It takes a strong person to make a difficult change. Keep the faith, good things happen to good people.

    Good luck Chris. You can add to your job applications that you were great at making a run for pizza and wings. I was always impressed how you never screwed up a food order. All kidding aside, your going to be missed.
    See you in October.
