Nothing like going through a CNA class when I have been an EMT for 4 years.
here if you took the RN program you could challenge the board to be a paramedic, we dont have emts any more,
and i think you could revers that

Bah! It looks like it might rain, so there will be about 20 cars at the track. Last time I went when the weather was like this, I got 6 runs in in the course of like 1.5 hours, lol.

I'm in Ames, but have friends down in Grimes, West Des Moines, etc. Might be up for something pending family priorities. Got an 09 SS/TC and I'm itching to show it off.

Agreed, I kinda doubt it though.. Most of the cars they pick to run the pinks all out are low 10s/9 second cars...

Unfortunately no. Friday Cordova was closed, which, ended up being a good thing since I ended up in the ER with a debilitating Migraine/virus. Still not sure what it was but it coulda killed me if I was driving when it hit.

IDK, hope so. I have been itching to go out and try the new tires I got. Should be pushing 12's if the track is right and the weather is good.
