914World.com _ 914World Garage _ SOT: SirAndy really is a good dude...
Posted by: horizontally-opposed Jul 30 2007, 01:58 PM
So I got to hang with Andy over the weekend at Thunderhill and it was a blast -- talk about a GREAT guy to have in the pits.
Better yet was to see the boys from Jerry Woods Enterprises (one of the West Coast's Porsche institutions) appreciate his handywork (andywork?) with a laptop and his multi-language skillz. Something tells me fun things could be ahead for Andy in NorCal car circles...
It seems our man Andy was hired after meeting Tom van Overbeek during a PPI on Tom's super nice silver 914-6 last week, a meeting that prompted Tom to hire Andy to help out with track support.
And here I was wondering how giant German with a mo-hawk in camo and combat boots meets straight-laced business guy was going to go... 
Thanks again Andy -- it was fun to hang. Only regret was I didn't get a chance to drive your 3.6 -- but there'll be time for that, I suppose...

that was a lot of fun, i really enjoyed working on those 911s and the company wasn't too bad either. 
i'll be back at TH with the team on august 10/11/12 for the PRC race.
it was a lot of fun tossing ideas around with Jerry Woods. it's truly amazing what you can do to a car with just a laptop these days ...
i'm glad you had fun, you had no trouble keeping up with the fast guys, that must have felt guud!

He can work on race cars but he can't design a cupholder?
