I did a quick scan through the topic what state is this taking place in?

Not yours!

It is in southern New Hampshire. It starts in Portsmouth, and will break up around Concord. This route is somewhat central through the middle of New England. So we will have people traveling as far from the north, as you would from the south to get to the starting point.

If I can make it up then Timmy can make it . Unless he spends the day before at the track and doesn't feel like making the long drive 2 days in a row. That's the only reason I'm not going to the last minute races. It's too much traveling on back to back days.

I blew off working on that Tom Cruise movie in Boston as a stunt/background driver to go to this, I hope you're all happy...jeez

The what now?

I do movie extra work on the side...


They had this movie filming here called "Wichita", and I was supposed to use my Blazer in it...I did the stunt rehearsal (got paid like 164 bucks to work for 4.5 hours driving my truck through cones, having two nuts in rental Corollas weave in and out of our vehicles as a moving slalom, and watch other people do the same thing) and on that day they gave us a list of dates we needed to keep open if they needed us...I set up two weeks of my life AROUND those days, then they tried to make me come work over Columbus Day weekend, which was NOT on the list and a time where I scheduled all my personal stuff... Then they wanted me to come by today, and this Saturday! I didn't want to bother, I already got my money from them for the rehearsal, and I can put it on my resume...lol

Can't wait for Sat...I got only two of my new tires, friggin' UPS somehow misplaced the other two and they're rescheduled for a delivery tomorrow...they better leave them here if no one is home and my note on the door is!

You should be thanking us. He probably would have tried to lure you into his spaceship for some good old fashioned "probing"

That or he'd ruin my new couch by jumping on it and leave Scientology pamphlets and L. Ron Hubbard books all over my truck...

How did you get a job like that?

The closest I have ever came at my hight was that time I stunt doubled for Travelociy's Roaming Gnome. I was eventually let go when the director felt I was two short for the job.

Thank you,.. Thank you... I will be here all week.

Just remember folks. If you can' make fun of yourself, make fun of others.

I wish I could make it this year guys, but as always the J.O.B. gets in the way again. Have fun, be safe and keep the shiny side up.

If more people saw the shiny paint under my car and the filthy ragged paint on top they'd stop saying "keep the shiny side up" Or maybe they wouldn't

That's a pretty cool job, Matt!

Is there room for more???

It's not all it's cracked up to be...lol

Work was slow and I randomly started doing it for some movie called "The Box" in Dec. of 2007...they wanted to use my car after I replied to some email thing I saw, then they had me play like 7 or 8 different background characters...
That's finally coming out this halloween, I don't know if it's going to be stupid or not. I wound up doing it all the time after I got laid off...I have no idea how I got picked so many times, it's dumb luck really, I just sign up on casting websites here and there. I didn't do anything for almost a year then a few months ago more movies popped up and I worked on 4 of them!

If you get the Mall Cop DVD I'm in the deleted scenes...which I think is better than being mixed in with hundreds of people in the actual feature film...
