An acquaintance of mine made a pile painting cars, and decided to go drag racing. After a few years of buying very expensive motors, he decided to put together his own race-engine shop.
His race shop business took off to the point where he's sold his painting business to concentrate full time on building drag race motors and he cannot possibly keep up with demand.

The biggest problem he has is getting help. He needs machinists. He needs engine builders. No one wants to do the work, and he has to keep bringing back the old guys that want to retire to do the work.

I know for a fact he would take anyone on, young or old, who would show interest and motivation, (and as I'm writing this I think hey, maybe I should pull up stakes and go sweep floors for him and get a paycheck while hanging around cool people that like the sound of a big block through open headers.)
