The General Joins DSR

You can only work in the garden or sit on the front porch swing so long. Racing never leaves you. It's in your blood...and after being a player like they were not being a part of it can haunt you.

Good luck to the NAPA team including Ron Capps, Tim and Kim and the entire NAPA crew.

Totally agree, especially the part of it getting in your blood. I have seen a lot of people retire and they die from lack of doing anything, they get burned out of being retired, not all but some. I hope they do well, I like Ron Capps.

"I want to make the newest and most advanced product, but I want to hire a guy from 50 years ago to make it for me". What I mean by this is, what's wrong with new blood?! How is the new blood ever going to learn and become great if they keep getting replaced by old blood...isn't it supposed to be the other way around...new blood for old blood?!

That whole thing is happening in every trade in every industry all around the world, but this is pretty cool though I hope it works out Tim Richards is awesome.

Looks like the General has command of the situation if Rd 1 is any indicator

I'm not too hot on teams whom are struggling that go and pull old blood out of retirement. I thinks it's the same as saying, "I want to make the newest and most advanced product, but I want to hire a guy from 50 years ago to make it for me". What I mean by this is, what's wrong with new blood?! How is the new blood ever going to learn and become great if they keep getting replaced by old blood...isn't it supposed to be the other way around...new blood for old blood?!

I work for a company that is part of a Fortune Top 40 corporation, and I see this quite often. I can only imagine how much they pay retired engineers to come in under contract to help clean things up.

Tommy DeLago and Rahn Tobler are calling the shots on the car.

I know an engineer who worked for a large military defense contractor that was hired back 1 week after he retired. This was 10 years ago. He is still working there today.

In the electrical contracting buisness where I'm from, the contractors are trying to eliminate the early 55 year old retirement because the young guys aren't ready to do what us old guys have been doing for years. Nor do the young guys give a shiite.

They call it "mentoring" the young guys! Us old guys call it getting things done.
