Hi! Long time reader first time poster on Oppo and a longtime reader/commenter of Jalopnik!
I’m in Fort Langley, BC and have a 2014 Fiesta ST and an 86 Dodge Ram D100 with a Slant 6 (225).
I volunteer at my local track as a corner worker.

Hey, welcome! I’ve seen you around the comment sections, glad to have you here, too! (about time haha)
(You actually caught me in the middle of replying to an earlier version of this post, so I had to type it out again. No worries.)

No, I race in the desert Southwest. I actually stepped back from racing for a few years and I’ve been getting my IT car ready to go play again next year.

Glad you enjoyed our town! Small, but it’s a nice spot. I live about 4 minutes outside of town, which is a great spot as it’s 10 minutes to Lunenburg and 15-20 to Bridgewater, so perfect for anything I need! The downside is it’s not easy to find work here....semi-rural Nova Scotia and all....
Come and visit again someday! :D

Welcome to Oppo!
Love the truck picture - my Parents had a red one like it back when they were new. That hood ornament was always so cool to me as a kid.
What’s your experience being a corner worker? I’ve thought about it, but it seems like a time commitment I probably wouldn’t be able to make.

Thanks! Being a corner worker is fun, it’s a good opportunity to get involved in racing and get up close and personal with the cars. I like it, although I’d be happier driving!
