Well, after 4 years, it's time for me to say farewell.

[EJ25RUN]

Next week, I'm moving to Daytona for Embry Riddle University. I finished up all the school work i can take here and now all i have left is the flight classes i need. I want to work my way up-to a commercial pilot and Embry seemed like the best choice. I should be down there for 2-3 years.

I cant say I'll never ever post on here again but i feel as though I'll be too busy to frequent this place in the way i currently do.

I want to say thanks to a lot of people but there are too many I've meet over the years. Three people i feel i have to mention are Redrumracer, Stephen, and ash7 for the advice i got about the industry. I really appreciate it. Oh..and also all the Competition forum crowd. You guys are the reason i ever really started to like the site.

I hope Daytona is fun. Some of the students said that they get into the Daytona 500 for free since they work the event. As i'll need work too...im sure illl be forced to be at the Nascar event. I mean...its not like the speedway is far from the school.

[oneSLOWex]

DAMN that is pretty close.....GL!!

[blacknightteg]

good luck bro, you better post though as much as you can!

[DJ Maestro]

Best of luck to you in school man. Blue skies!

[mocha latte cupcake]

but srsly. hope to see you again on here sometime best of luck and have fun in life bro

[BKgen®]

Guess I'll have to hold down the fort in the Competition section

Sad to see someone who contributes so much to the site leave.

[EJ25RUN]

Thanks everybody. I'm pretty excited.

I'll try to look in here as much as i can.

[ironchef]

Good luck!

[Elbow]

Well dang! You are close to Daytona for sure, at least there is SCCA and stuff there too.

Hopefully you still post some in the competition section, I loved your threads. I still don't know how you know all you do and can provide a picture for everything lol.

Rolex 24 IA get together?

Hey mahn good luck with school and your career. Sounds like you are making sound decisions so you will be financially capable to buy a lot of these vehicles we drool and post about.

I thoroughly enjoy your threads and posts here at IA, you bring true value here and it will be missed.

If we have a LExus meet there I'll be sure to look you up so you can check it out.

I've been to Daytona I think 3 times, it is fun

Im up for that for sure. I remember last year i was gonna drive over there an hour before race start but couldn't find anyone to go with.

I doubt the walking distance will be a problem next year.

Thanks and sure thing. I'll look into what car forums are up in that area.

[Elbow]

Sweet, when the time comes around, I will be down for sure!

Good luck with school and your career for sure, definitely a good move and on the right track.

[Dirty Octopus™]

Wow! talk about a life change.
I'm actually pretty happy that you're making a move like this. we all need to move passed our mundane level of Georgia life. I wish you the absolute BEST in all your endeavors. i thank you for the many many many many many many MANY MANY MANY contributions you've made to this site and my life. you've enriched our minds with your voice on this forum. I thank you again for helping me when i knew not where to go for information. spasiba my friend!

[AirMax95]

Like I said before, congrats on the move and much success to you! Embry Riddle will set you on the right path.

While you are there, set that STi up for play!

[EJ25RUN]

spasiba my friend!

No problem man. You know you can find me on VSC still too.

While you are there, set that STi up for play!

Good idea. A lot of bikes down there and its not the Georgia traffic so i might get one.

[VooDooXII]

Good luck on your endeavors my friend, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself down in Daytona. Haha wow, the campus really is just across the street. I wonder how bad the noise is from race days.

You'll definitely be missed for all the insight and knowledge you spread across IA.Take care and congratulations!

[AirMax95]

Good idea. I am going to take a motorcycle course soon. Hopefully I can purchase a bike by late spring.

Big thanks man.

Great idea. I'd recommend that class to anyone.

[VooDooXII]

I took a dirtbike course at this Honda place somewhere in Alpharetta. I want to take their road course some time.

EJ, I'll try to take your place in keeping everyone posted on the latest Top Gear activity

[AnthonyF]

Good luck buddy. Don't stray from IA. This site actually NEEDS people like you.

-Ant.

[Ed]

Good luck man!

[WTF?]

good luck man

[nreggie454]

Good luck! You are probably one of my favorite posters on IA because your threads are usually news that I am interested in, or just really damn interesting.

You'll have fun at the NASCAR race, also you are close to the Daytona dog track (idk if you have any interest in that). At the dog track they also have a Texas Hold'em room (Tournaments start at 20 and go up). Have fun and good luck.

[EJ25RUN]

Thanks everybody.

I didn't know about the dog track. I guess I'll have a look at it.

[On_Her_Face]

Thanks everybody.

I didn't know about the dog track. I guess I'll have a look at it.

Yeah it is a lot more fun when the dogs are live there instead of betting and looking at a TV. Either way is fun though.

[osnap]

damn, please try and find the time to occasionally contribute here. i consider you one of the most valuable contributors to IA, actually. Your knowledge of all things regarding competitive motorsports in particular is something that I envy and highly enjoy learning from.

thanks for what you've contributed and will hopefully continue to contribute, and I sincerely offer my best wishes to you and your career plans.

Thanks for having my back that time i got into a fight with my trash can.

[Atlblkz06]

I concur with the others that your informative posts will very much be missed.

I think you should stay in Atlanta and dedicate yourself to IA. Well, ok maybe that's a bit unrealistic. Good luck at Embry and try not to skip too many classes!

[Elbow]

Oh and checkout the kart races in December.

[dazn]

Embry Riddle is a great school. I almost went there myself. Im sure you will excel and be flying me around to my next race in no time.

we will miss your awesome news reports and other posts in the Competition forum. It will be completely dead without you there.
Best of luck to you in school and with everything else in life.
dont forget about us when you start making the big bucks.

Yeah, please post in the comp section. It struggles without the input of those who care.

Big bucks are a long ways away. I'm glad I'm not a graduate right now as it seems impossible to find work.

[Echonova]

Sad to see someone who contributes so much to the site leave.

Says it all.

[jdm>usdm]

My father went to Embry Riddle and Im considering transfering there for my Jr. year. One of the most well respected schools in the States when it comes to aviation and any kind of aeronautical science. As Im sure you know.


Best of luck to you. Im sure youll have a good time down in Daytona.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

Good luck. If you need any lessons, I know an excellent and highly recommended pilot/flight instructor.

[Kasper]

hey bubba.. see ya when ya get here! just come to best buy! i'll be here! and you cant say its to far cause im on the other side of the damn track! lemme know when ya get into town..

[OnURleft]

Such a shame to see a great person go but I think you'll be back. I'm definitely down to do an I.A Rolex 24 get together at Daytona (good idea Simone).
Good luck with the flying, my moms boyfriend is a retired lawyer/commercial pilot now flying privately for this wealthy family out in Santa Rosa full time. It's such a great career if you can deal with the anxiety of flying (i'm not a huge fan) but I love going with him and doing acrobatics on the weekends..Hopefully I can convince him to get one of those powered parachutes one day, they are such a blast

Oh man. i think i started doing the research about 2 1/2 years ago.

Good luck. If you need any lessons, I know an excellent and highly recommended pilot/flight instructor.

Great. Does he teach at Embry Riddle's campuses?

[EJ25RUN]

hey bubba.. see ya when ya get here! just come to best buy! i'll be here! and you cant say its to far cause im on the other side of the damn track! lemme know when ya get into town..

Will do. Orientation is the 19th. I might need to visit you guys as my laptop drive is clicking.

I remember the first time i did it. Even in a Cessna 172, you feel really amazing.

Can't wait for the twin engine stuff though. I know there is a class where they take you up in a plane that does aerobatics to get you used to flying upside down.
