JustaFan Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 [Edited by Nick Holt, 6/24/03, to remove response to two previous messages that were deleted] Hey Nick, what's up with the broom pusher/tire changer thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 JustaFan, I don't know! It must be something our loyal site administrator has come up with.. Tell us how it works, Jason. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 The user titles (floor sweeper, etc.) are probably based on the number of messages posted on this website. I think that's how Jason had originally set up this forum. I'm almost sure I had previously made it all the way to a mechanic or something similiar! And if the number of posts is the title criteria, I guess that explains why you're a winner, Nick! LOL Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krusty_rusty Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 how do i get to work my way up from tire changer to grease monkey thats the title i would treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 krusty, LOL.. At first I thought that "Winner" was actually "Whiner," not that anyone would actualy whine around here. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Ok guys I will leave this up to you. List titles you think would be good in order they would go. IE (floor sweeper, tire changers, engine builder, crew chief, rookie driver, contender, winner, champion, etc) Lets have some good ones like Official Grease Monkey.

Pink Racegirl15 Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 How about Spotter...that would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Jason, Here are my "nominees" for names--use any, all or none.. Spotter (as suggested by others) Tire Changer (it's already in, I belive) Tech Man Pit Steward Flagman Car Chief Crew Chief Media Guy (the lowest of the low, of course!) Team Owner And...of course...I HAVE to throw Track Announcer in there, just because.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krusty_rusty Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 You gotta throw some funny ones in there somewhere like grease monkey, driver's bi@#h, water boy, then whoever people decide the supreme one on here is has to be Mike Helton.

Tim Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Jason, What is the post:title ratio? Maybey just throw a few more in, so we don't "red line" with 300 post. You know, give us something to look forward to... make us work a little bit. I would say after 600-800 posts, we should be able to have a Custom title, within reason. Just my .02 worth. Tim Definately keep some good and funny ones in there though, maybe like "Official Hat Bender" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 How about 1000 posts gives you the option of our own custom title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 How about "Loose Lug Nut" or just "Lug Nut" That one would fit several posting on here! i.e. Justafan LOL sorry dave!!!! couldn't resist "Hot shoe" is another common one around our shop.

jcleaver17 Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Jason, How about 300 or 500 post gets your your own title...I mean, do you know how long it will take to get 1000 post?....quite a while....nick is only @ 696 or somewhere in there.... how long has he been here??>.

NickHolt Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 jcleaver17 I've been here since Creation.. lol I'm trying to think of a good title since I'm 2/3's of the way to choosing my own.. Got any suggestions? (Keep it clean, guys.. LOL) Nick Holt [edited 6/25/03 by Nick Holt to remove freudian slip ... lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyBorlace Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 why not Nick Upchurch [edited by Nick Upchurch, 6/25/02, to remove derogatory word defaming Neil Upchurch] , the only difference between ya'll is how ya'll spell your names. , Charlie Borlace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 I'm trying to think of a good title since I'm 2/3's of the way to choosing my own.. God any suggestions? (Keep it clean, guys.. LOL) Nick Holt Hey Nick... "God" any suggestions...is that a Freudian slip? Shall we just bow down and call you "god" now? heeeheee Also...I agree with Jason, keep the "custom" name to 1,000 posts..while that may SEEM like a lot, think about this: 6 months from now, this site will probably have 5-6 of us who are in that category...This awards those who stick with the web site--to me, that's how it should be..

ups88john Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 1000, that sure is alot of posting. but who knows it could happen. I like grease monkey or crack baby. Big John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 RandyBorlace, Thanks for the compliment. There aren't many around who have done as much for racing as Mr. Upchurch over the years. Yes, I know. You intended it as an insult to either Mr. Upchurch or myself, but, hey, I don't have to take it that way, right? Chuck, When have I EVER deleted one of your posts so you don't get to 1,000 posts first.. lol Nick Holt But I strongly , but I doubt I ever get to do enough for racing to even be mentioned in the same sentence with Mr. Upchru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckLicata Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Nick, Fortunately, you've NEVER deleted any of my posts to "lower" my "post-count"...altho, I'm sure there's a few people who wished you WOULD delete some of my posts...LOL Big John, Look at the numbers... As of this post, I will have posted 213 times...that leaves me 787 posts short of 1,000 posts... Looking at my profile, it says I post an average of 1.8 posts a day. However, looking at it REALISTICALLY, I'm really posting about 5-6 posts a day. So, if I continue the 1.8 average, then it will take me 394 days to get to 1,000.. However, increase that average to 5 posts a day, and it will only take me 158 days for me to reach the magical 1,000 mark..That's just a little over 5 months.. By the way, when we hit 1,000 posts, do we start earning "frequent post-er miles?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RandyBorlace Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 first of all nick, if you would read the bottom of my post, it says, charlie borlace, he is my grandpa, and he made the post.the reason we have something against Upchurch, is because he told Buck to get his priorities straight and show up at a TIDA race in 1992 or 1993 , when it was mine and Jason's first race, so thats why he gave up racing ,therefore instead of just having 1 borlace driver, we now have 2 that can drive anything you put them in.and a good crew chief named buck, so , until about a month ago, i had nothing against you until you deleted my post asking HRay a question.

NickHolt Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 RandyBorlace, Thanks for explaining why you don't like Mr. Upchurch or me. That's fine. This is America. You're free to like or dislike whoever you choose and for whatever reason you choose. But when you post messages here on TSZ you must follow the same guidelines as everyone else or get edited or deleted. That's just the way it is.. By the way, your uncle, Buck Borlace, and I go back a LONG way -- back in the old TIDA Late Model days when I was with Ed Sczech and Rick Rapp. We used to try to help Buck with set-ups, parts etc. whenever we could. And I must say, Buck is one of the true gentlemen of the sport. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
