Default OT: Swell Ryder at work - JDM Race Cars Inside

Guys this thread is long overdue as far as dates come. None the less, here are some shots from the Nashville IRL race. I posted these in the Road/Race forum's Indy thread, and thought you guys would like to see Josh "working"







More pictures are in the thread here

After the Indy 500 Race, Josh standing next to his team's trophy:


For kicks, here is a video of him with Scott Dixon on http://www.indycar.com. Its pretty funny, knocking at the rivalry between Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon. (Dario holds the championship by a mere 4 points to Dixon.) Click here for video

The faces seem creepy from the pic, but I'm guessing that arn't in person. I sent Josh this link on AIM, but he has yet to respond. I'm waiting for him to chime in haha

Mr. Suspension Engineer himself.

Glad he was back in Tennessee. Suck to lose someone over delusions of grandeur of the outside.

Josh = good peeps. Can't wait for him to have some "away" time and track his car.

I'm glad to hear, he's sticking with the new "job"

This might be off topic, but what exactly is his job title and how did he get into that position?

Is Josh an R owner? Must be a lot of fun to work on those type of cars for a living.

I wonder if he ever gets to "test and tune" or if he's ever driven one of those things at a decent speed. That would be KILLER!!!

I'v asked before and got a quick "No." He brought up the fact that a person has to have a COMP license to even drive the car

Sounds like he needs more seat time in his R and needs to get a COMP license.
