Chad...I am sorry to hear this news...but I wish you the best of fortunes going forward. Certainly try to stay in touch on Honda-Tech.com!

Best Regards... -Andie

 

best of luck Chad

 

I moved from Tempe, AZ to Durham, NC a little over 1.5 years ago. I started running in the NASA - AZ region and ran events with another organization called ASRA. Anyway, I am not exactly Mr. Popularity in AZ either but let me know if you want to meet up with some of the people I use to hang out with. Good luck with everything. I got laid off of work a few weeks back and am not happy with the triangle either so I may be moving before long myself.

I plan to kick your *** at VIR (if I can find the money to run) as your going away present. Hehe.

 

Even though you could have come under better circumstances, we'll be happy to have you over here in AZ. As you may be aware, we're trying to build support for a WCHC, and we would love to have you on the track with us. Where in AZ are you moving? I'm in Tucson, but the two major AZ tracks are in Phoenix (Firebird International Raceway and Phoenix International Raceway). There's a third up in St. John's AZ but I have never been there.

Anyway, look me up when you get here

 

Chad - very sorry to hear that you're leaving the area - getting to know you over the last year or so has been very cool. I wish you the best of luck out west. And thank YOU for being a Honda Challenge advocate from way back in the day. I mean that from the bottom of my heart - it's the enthusiastic guys like you who make it all possible.

We (the East Coasters) have somewhat monopolized this part of honda-tech but I'm sure you'll find good people out west. We're all car people, and I'm sure there are plenty where you're headed.

Meanwhile - if (when?) we have a "Honda Challenge Runoffs" in the middle of the country, I fully expect to see you there, towing the hatchcrap behind that Sanford and Son truck of yours

--Rice, who hates to see one of his own leave, but understands fully...

 

for now i'll be in
RIO RICO arizona....12 miles from mexico an hour south of tucson and 3 hours south of phx....
i grew up (after 13) in rio rico and lived in phx for 5 years before moving to virginia....so i know the area....i met brian at hasport way back in the day when i did my zc swap in my ef....met adrian too....
i have tons of friends in the phx area....but i'll be 3 hours south....

 

maybe it was meant to be, good luck!

 

Welcome back to AZ

 

good...we need more AZ members. i'm sure i'll run into you at various track events.

-tony

 

Dude, Seriously, we're gonna miss you... and your chilli! I had no idea you were thinking about leaving... sorry to hear it. But, good luck, and I hope we share a track again in the not so distant future.

 

wtf slugg...

Sorry to see you go.

 

Good luck buddy. You're a great friend in EVERY sense of the word. We better get an invite soon!

Jason-

Brian

Mucha suerte, Chad.

 

Good luck Chad... and post on here occationally to let us know how you're doing.

 

fyi...
"Phil still sux"

 

Good luck Chad!

I am glad I was able to call you a friend for the past year! You have given me lots of good advice as well as something to shoot for in both my car prep and my racing. I appreciate that. The Honda-Challenge and NASA are like one big extended family to me. I hate to see you leave that family. This first year of the ECHC has been great for me and you were a part of that.

Best of luck and keep in touch!

- Drew

 

 

Something you guys are trying to tell us?

Seriously. We'll miss having you out there with us. I'm really glad that you had the dedication to get your liscense when you did so we had the good fortune to share the track with you. See you at the honda challenge run offs!

Matt

 

**** man.

- Jamie

Chad, I feel your pain. Don't have to go as far as you, but looks like I'm moving myself. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!! Too bad I didn't get started racing soon enough to roll you on track Again, best of luck
