For me it's not a, "What I've accomplished" deal but, the competition. It's all about the competition. Just love it. I've won a few events and my class during the years but, still in love with the hobby and the competition.

Just my 2 cents....

I found some of your paycheck stubs from 1979 in the car. Along with some handwritten DD time slips in the low-mid 11's

WOW!! Congrats! My dad started at US Steel in the early 70's, after getting back from Vietnam. Worked at the Baytown, TX mill, which was relatively new at the time. Then one day in the mid-80's, the company and the union got cross, the company locked the gates and it never reopened.

Dad talked about transferring, seems like Gary, Indiana was the probably target. He got a job a chemical plant though, and stayed here.


Sorry for the thread hijack, I've just never come across anyone that actually retired from USX!

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
