Looking for the Perfect Retirement Job

How do you get into a real motorsports job? And what if you're retired and only want to do it part time? Are there any interesting retirment jobs that DO NOT involve being a greeter at Walmart?

I've looked at a few job ads in my time, and the best fit I've seen so far around the Charlotte area was a few years ago when the Haas F1 team needed a janitor. Anyway, here's one that just recently caught my eye: 

ENGINE PARTS WASH TECHNICIAN (PART TIME)

Now, I don't know about you, but that pretty much hits my sweet spot and covers my expertise when it comes to cars. I can identify the engine and engine parts, it's part time, and you only have to clean stuff! Sure, I was hoping to start out as a racecar driver, but the only driving job right now is driving one of their transporters. Other than not having a Commercial Drivers License and some experience, I'd be good at that! 

A part of the Wash Technician job description talks about cleaning engine parts, but wait, there's more to it than that! You also get to clean the "break room!" You know what? Maybe they misspelled "BRAKE ROOM!" That must be where they prepare hundreds of sets of front and rear brakes for a NASCAR season. I can see that being a full time job! Shoot, even NASCAR racers use the brakes once in a while! Maybe just on the road courses anyway. 

I've just been handed a memo that states, "no, that's not a typo, with this position you clean the "BREAK ROOM."

Sorry, my mistake!
