Introduce yourself here!

Haha, thanks Sam! That would be really cool. I go down to San Jose to see my Dad occasionally, so maybe we could work it out for me to stop by some time on the way there.

Are you planning on going to the 2015 CASTO roadeo? Because I might if I can get a membership. Speaking of, do you need a membership to attend the roadeos? I recall you attending one a couple years ago.

You don't need membership to attend as a guest. I attended three...2 CASTO chapter 6 roadeos, and one norcal roadeo. I'd say the chapter 6 ones are more fun...I went with a driver trainer from EDUHSD, and we both judged. I've lost my contacts at CASTO, but I'm sure I could find out information again...I'd be interested in going.

We have our own bus roadeo here at Unitrans. All staff is allowed to compete, even non-drivers. I did it last year, and it was really fun! I'd say I did pretty well for never being behind the wheel of a bus before. I told my driver trainer not to tell me anything unless I was about to hit something, and he never needed too! I did plow through multiple cones though...

Getting off topic now, but our drivers treat the roadeo as a race. Its the only day of the year that they remove the 5mph limit at the Pad. I never knew how rough buses could be...I was sitting down holding on, and still got thrown side to side. I tried to get a video, but my finger slipped off the camera button when the driver hit the brakes...you can see the bus speeding torwards a fence, then the visual cuts out and you hear the brakes lock up and people start to scream. It was intense.

No, Sam, we worked on Phil's AmTran RE RV conversion and went to the 2011 New Haven 422 auction.
