      Must pay pretty well. Just about everybody that works there has a super late of their own to race.

        Trump said "over the wall for you Vchild!", "Merica made, for merica drivers, for the merica fan's!", "Merica built, not Mexican built!" " this is dirt late model, not lowrider car show!".

            Unless they are getting paid $100k to $200k+/year plus benefits they aren't getting paid pretty well.
            I know many welders in the Pa, WVa, Md, and Ohio construction trades that are getting paid very well.

                If a welder is getting paid $50-$75k with benefits then I know at least 10 people who would quit their job immediately to work there. There is a plant full of welders not far from where I live where the starting pay is like $11/hr, it goes up quick but it would have to more than double to even get close to $50k and its a difficult place to get into even with welding experience. I don't think the majority of welders make even relatively close to $200k. In fact Glassdoor says the average salary for a welder in the United States is $36k for someone who works 40 hrs a week, and 90% of welders in the United States make less than $57k.

                Thanks,
                Jeff.

                      How many chassis shops have you been to? Rocket is the biggest in the biz. Go tell CJ Rayburn you want health insurance and 401k.

                        I know years ago CJ didn't pay salaries paid by the piece. Didn't matter if it was chassis or A arms or nose racks. Guys would come in and work 3 or 4 days in a row around the clock he had a room with bunks in it so guys could grab a nap. The guys would then take a couple of weeks off before coming back in and start again.

                          Bloomers been telling everyone he gets late to the track because he's getting cars built for customers, and nobody believes him.

                            He says that but who is running his cars? Him and McDowell. Maybe one other "regional" guy???

                              Yep. With the pipeline work as it is, that is spot on.
                              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
